I have never heard of a child being named after The Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr. Velocicaptor 17:00, 16 September 2006 (UTC). I have - me! Martinj6523 09:19, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

ther is no history on the name or anything like that and I believe that if people visiting this page might want to know background info on the name and its origin
