HEATHER MAYFIELD WAS five months pregnant when she went to Mercy Health Saint Mary's hospital in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with her husband, Brian, accompanying her for an ultrasound appointment on a chilly January day in 2000.
Upon the revelation that their first child would be a boy, the couple quickly began considering names. As an homage to Brian's grandfather, the middle name Walker was locked in. But the first name was not so settled.
"I was torn between Marcus and Spencer," Heather told ESPN.
Eventually the discussion turned to Michigan basketball, and the famed Fab Five.
