I don't care what the name is, she is forty years old and weighs 528 pounds - good lord, that kid doesn't stand a chance. Plus there are 9 others kids? How can she claim to not know she's diabetic, she has to have some major health problems. I'd love to know what dad looks like.

Maybe she named him after the difficulty she had squeezing him out. But then again, his thirteen brothers and sisters probably loosened up the birth canal.

Now that you have mentioned that, I'm thinking Exodus might have been a more appropriate name...
