Anyone willing to have a corporate name for your child or yourself?

If a corporation paid you to change your name or name your child after them, will you? Are willing to sell out your own child's name to get a decent size payout? I hope this doesn't count as advertising but something like McDonalds Smith or Microsoft Lavine?

BTW the child's name would be under contract until they're 18.

If the firm concerned was selling a suitable product then possibly so; if it was selling a bad or harmful product then definitely not :)
As for the price, the firm would have to guarantee to pay all the legal expenses involved in a name change, including redirecting snail mail, contacting all friends and neighbours, updating council and tax file records, etc.
Having done all that, I would then rent them use of the name for a minimum £20,000 per year, tax free, payable in advance.

What you said would be all about the contract negotiations with their legal team.

I'd be willing to do it myself if the terms and price were right, but I wouldn't do it to a kid.

I know a guy who changed his name to Tony Stark. He is an Iron Man nut.

True story.

It's the mighty penis laser, the cause for every scream. It is better then anything you've got cuz it's made out of a laser beam.

Already done: Bethesda Will Award Free Games For Life If You Give Birth To A Child On 11/11/11 And Name It "Dovahkin".

And someone did: Parents name child Dovahkiin, earn a lifetime’s worth of Bethesda games

Now I'm wondering if they'll name his sister Lydia and if she's sworn to carry his burdens :)

I'm not sure whats more worrying. That people will afflict their own offspring so, or that got literally all of your post.

HAVING A LIFE IS SOOO MAINSTREAM

Surely, i-[enter name here] would be right up there.

Will-I-Am already ripped off Dr. Sues.

I might be willing to, depending on the terms. The corporation would be have to be one I like (not McDonald's, Wal-Mart, etc.) and they would have to give me a nice amount of money. I think Aston Martin would be my first choice, Aston Kunes could be the next James Bond. Or he could be Thomas or Tomas or Tomek, after Thomas the Tank Engine.

John was a scientist, he was hooked on LSD...
