Why do they have to call him John David Booty instead of John Booty?

Is there a reason they have to use his middle name? Is his father the Pope or something? They call him John David or John David Booty every 20 seconds or so, and it seems like the anouncers just like saying his name or something. It's beginning to get to me.

They had John David on earlier in the game explaining it...something about his dad having the same name and they were always getting confused so they started putting his first and middle name together when talking to him.

They mentioned he was called by his middle name because he had the same name as his father.

His dad is also named John, so they just started using his middle name when he was very young and it just stuck.

Did his father play football or something? Who is getting the two confused, exactly? One John Booty is QBing USC, and the other is probably 45 to 55 years old and not a quarterback for anyone.

i agree. have your credit card statements sent to john david booty to avoid confusion. but its kinda weird on national tv to hear him called that. it sounds like he is 6 years old playing tag outside and being called in for dinner.

If you met someone in the real world, and they introduced themselves as John David or William Kenneth or Joesph Michael, you'd look at him like he had three heads or something.

Sounds like a serial killer getting the chair down in Florida or something. Just like these men with hyphenated last names. What gives?

Isn't John David Booty from Louisiana or Texas? I believe it's very common in the South to be called by your first 2 names....Billy Bob Thornton, Billy Ray Cyrus, Billy Joe Tolliver, etc.

A little off topic. Anyone listen to Lionel a few years back? I believe his producer had the same name.
