ORLANDO, Fla., July 13 (UPI) -- A Florida man says he will name his son after a morning radio team in exchange for $100 worth of gasoline.

David Partin cut the deal with hosts Richard Dixon and J. Willoughby, who were offering $100 in gas for the most creative swap, WKMG-TV, Orlando, Fla., reported.

The hosts plan to be on hand when the baby is born this coming winter to ensure his name is Dixon and Willoughby Partin, WKMG said.

Partin will get his gas card as soon as the birth certificate is signed.
