There were many more interesting names in the 2008 Draft. But I thought I might share my theory on how Finley was named Jermichael. (And I should add, a scenario I’m not unfamiliar with…)
Setting – hospital in Texas, March 26, 1987:
Mother talking to father moments after mother delivers. “What should we call him. We’re so indecisive. We’ve narrowed it down to two, I love Jeremy and and you love Michael. We have to decide. I also am not sure if I should have the lasagna or the chop suey”.
Mom: “Let’s go with Jeremy”.
Father, “No, should be Michael.”
Mom: “Jeremy”
Father: “Michael”.
Nurse: “um, we need a name”.
Mom: “Fine, how about Micheremy?”
Father, “No, but Jermichael would work”.
Jermichael.
Jokes aside – I’m excited to welcome Jermichael to the Packers. Exciting player.

Reminds me of the old Reese’s® peanut butter cup commercials……something to do w/ the one person liking chocolate and the other liking peanut butter and then they argue b/c they get them mixed together.
So, in reality, the commercial and Jermichael’s name don’t really have anything in common. I’ll be quiet now.

[…] parents, like Jermichael Finley’s, must have fought about his first […]
