I bet the timeline of what Austen Powers (the basketball player) though about his name went like this:
Before the movies came out: Didn't think about his name.
When the first movie came out: "It's cool that I have the same name as the character in this new Mike Myers movie!"
Three months after the first movie came out: "This isn't very cool."
Six months after the first movie came out: "If someone tells me something is "cheeky" one more time, I'm going to kill Mike Meyers."
When the third movie came out: "I'm going to kill myself."

Naming your kid after a deviant sex job and then spelling it wrong is almost as bad as doing it when you have Johnson as a last name. By the way, I'd like to introduce you to my son, Prastitoot Koch.

Before 9/11 I bet the kid's in his high school thought this name was kind of badass. After 9/11 I'm guessing that went from badass to asshole.
