Tim Tebow is the name I know solely from twitter. I don't know who he is or what sport he plays, just that somehow it's the US thing and he performs only in the last quarter.

I don't know much about him, either, since I don't care about the NFL. But his name kept popping up everywhere, like he's the new Kardashian (I don't know anything about them, either), so finally I looked him up so as not to feel like I'm on a completely different planet from everyone else in the US. Then I wished I had not.

In this thread, we can follow icky news from all sports.  I don't have any Kobe or Tigre news to put here right now, But I'm sure there'll be plenty in the future. For now we'll start off with some other icky stuff: I'm guessing the parents think they'll make more sponsorship money by giving him the same surname as Anna. Afterall, how would the average american golf fan know he's related to Anna if they don't have the same name... |

That makes sense, given Alla's skill at making the most money possible from her kids. But as little Allan gets older, having a lady name makes him sound like a wuss. Especially since it's his mom's last name (and her first name, too, plus an N  ), not his dad's. The dad is some unknown man; it is not Anna's dad. On the other hand, there are thousands of parents out there trying to raise the next Tiger Woods; it's not exactly a new story, even if it is icky. |

I don't think it's gonna be a big problem in north america. I doubt many people know how slavic names work.
And yeah it's kind of creepy that he has the same name as his mother except for the "n". Alla is the russian Dina Lohan.
