Orioles fans name their kids Camden and Yardley

Colleen and Tony Serra have attended every Orioles home opener together since 2010. When they were deciding on a name for their first child in October of that year, they wanted something that represented their shared love of baseball and Baltimore, where they met playing softball in 2009.

They named their boy Camden.

“Obviously, when you pick names for your kids you’re trying to think of things that are meaningful for both of you,” Colleen said. “We both grew up going to games. [Camden Yards] holds a special place in our hearts and it’s a place that we’re going to keep coming back to, so it just seemed fitting.”

The couple got engaged at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. They married in 2013 and held their wedding reception at the Camden Club inside the B&O Warehouse at Camden Yards. When they had their second child, a girl, this June, they doubled-down on the ballpark theme and named her Yardley.

Are the other 25 and 50 named after Bear Bryant, or is it 15 and 40 with the remaining names being dedicated to some idiot from Auburn?

Honestly, they should have named the girl "Natty" and the boy "Boh". That would have been better.
