This reminds me of the character
Michael Bolton, in Office Space as well as the current ESPN commercial where the guy is named
Michael Jordan and nobody bothers to hide their disappointment when they find out he's not THE
Michael Jordan.
It's acceptable but I would think looooooong and hard before I ever did that to my own kid.
Making such a reference with a MN wouldn't be nearly as bad. There was a kid in my high school named
James Dean (Surname) and I thought that was actually kind of cool because no one even knew about it until they read his full name for graduation. Being named
Cary Grant Smith or
Marilyn Monroe Jones would be a
LOT easier for the bearer to deal with I think
