Charles Barkley had a bizarre inspiration for his daughter’s name.
During a conversation with Ernie Johnson, the NBA legend revealed that his daughter Christiana is named after a mall. Yes, you read that correctly. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
“I don’t know. I just liked the mall,” Barkley explained when Johnson asked why he named his daughter after a mall.

This is another prime example of why Charles Barkley is the absolute man. Imagine naming your kid after a mall and then admitting it publicly.
Seriously, stop and think about that for a second. Stop and think about the insanity of this entire story.
Charles Barkley says he’s anti-social media, and @dhookstead agrees 100%.

If you truly named a kid after a mall you enjoyed, you should never tell another living soul. You shouldn’t tell anyone at all.
That’s the kind of thing you should take to your grave. Yet, it’s Charles Barkley, and as we all know, he doesn’t care what people think.
He’s only interested in keeping it real, and that’s why we love him so much.
“Let’s make the whites and blacks not like each other.”
Charles Barkley shared a powerful message about how politicians want black and white people to hate each other.
Props to him for having the courage to speak up and speak bluntly. pic.twitter.com/TAo7ARC8gM

So, while I don’t like the idea of naming your kid after a shopping center, I do appreciate his blunt honesty.
