LOS ANGELES – His grandmother named him.
All of Terry and Kim Johnson’s sons’ names started with “Ter,” like their father. Tervont was the oldest, then Tervell and Terrez.
But they didn’t expect to have four boys.
“You’ve done everything with my name,” Terry told her. “What are you going to do with him?”
“I had no more names,” Kim said. “My mom actually named Termarr in the hospital.”
Terry liked it, and the fourth Johnson boy carried one of the family's traditions. He’d go on to carry another: The family’s love of baseball.
