Celebrities often give their kids unique names that some people consider odd. Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton was among those celebs. Newton says he never wanted to name his son Cam Newton Jr. so he and his longtime girlfriend Kia Proctor, went with the name “Chosen”. Here’s his reasoning for the name.

“I wanted something that would be masculine, but yet unique,” he told reporters. “I’m not a big fan of juniors and every person that I’ve had this conversation when I say ‘I don’t want to have the pressure of him being a junior’, they reply, ‘what the hell do you think Chosen’s going to bring?’”
Cam Newton’s jersey number is 1. He rocked his son’s name on his practice jersey which ended up displaying Chosen 1. Pretty cool. If his son becomes a football star like his dad and uses his number, he already has a cool name.
