A newborn baby in North Carolina has a name that could only be conceived by die-hard Carolina Panthers fans.

Cameron Luuuke Howell was born on July 1 in Gastonia, N.C., according to Kristen Hampton of WBTV.com.

And, yes, there are three "U"s in Luuuke. Just like how Panthers fans chant the name of star linebacker Luke Kuechly after he makes a big tackle.

Cameron, of course, is derived from star quarterback Cam Newton.

"I had to beg," father DeeJay Howell said of the choice to use multiple "U"s.

Mother Sandy Howell said she capitulated because she made a promise.

"I told him he could name the baby so I said 'OK'."
