"團購網為寶寶命名收費一千元"

當日好康網站團購網提供了一個稀奇的購物機會，肯定會引發各界關注和爭議。花上1000大洋，團購網就會將你的寶寶命名為「Clembough」。

該產品的說明上寫著：「在貴子女出生之時，團購網將減輕您命名的負擔，給予您的男寶寶或女寶寶精心挑選的名字。購買者將他們的收據號碼用電子郵件寄到團購網，我們將以電子郵件回覆您孩子的名字。」它還強調：「不可有任何替代或修改。拼寫方式不得商量。」

芝加哥太陽時報報導，這項交易實際上由團購網的發言人證實是合法的。一位團購網的代表還寫道，「這是團購網有史以來最認真進行的一筆認真交易。」 但對那些想走非常規路線來為他們孩子命名的人，這裡有值得深思的一點。據魔鬼經濟學部落格的說法，研究顯示，名字較容易發音的人能在別人心中留下比較正面的印象。

(Culture)Groupon Charges $1,000 for Naming Your Baby

An unusual purchase opportunity offered by the deal-of-the-day site Groupon is sure to generate attention and controversy. For $1000, Groupon will name your baby Clembough.

This products description reads: Upon your childs birth, Groupon will relieve you of the burden of naming your baby by bestowing a specially selected, custom first name upon your infant son or daughter. Purchasers will e-mail Groupon with their voucher number, and we will e-mail you back with a name for your child. It also notes: No substitute or modifications. Spelling non-negotiable.

The offer is actually confirmed legitimate by a Groupon spokesperson, reports the Chicago Sun-Times. A Groupon representative also writes, this is the most serious deal that Groupon has ever seriously run in its serious history. But here is something to think about for people who are tempted to go the unconventional route in naming their baby. According to the Freakonomics blog, research indicates people form more positive impressions of people with easy-to-pronounce names.
