In a podcast Monday, former Spurs player Tim Duncan opened up about his life since retirement, including his new role as father to a newborn.

In the Road Trippin podcast, Duncan spoke with Richard Jefferson, Channing Frye and host Allie Clifton.

A big topic was the birth of his daughter, Quill.

She is here, Duncan said, when asked about preparing for his new role. She was born about a week ago.

Duncan said his daughters name, Quill, was a combination of two things he and his girlfriend appreciate.

He said Quill is a character in "Guardians of the Galaxy" but also Vanessa enjoys writing so the name also harked a quill pen.

But I would be wrong if i named my kid Solo

It came up in a conversation. Tim Duncan wouldn't "announce" anything.

Unspeakable Evil · Mar 30, 2017

I'm glad Tim Duncan continues to be a nerd.

Bruce Springsteen · Mar 30, 2017

the GOAT has always been a huge nerd

But did he state a belief in a flat earth.

Sgt. Kabukiman · Mar 30, 2017

It's a cute name, regardless of the Marvel connection.
But I would have gone with xxxSephiroth420 myself.

Trojita · Mar 30, 2017

Missed chance to name his daughter xXxSephiroth4everxXx

Nerrrrrrrd

I love Tim Duncan. Why couldn't the ping pong balls bounce Boston's way all those years ago

He and Reggie Miller are my all-time favorite non-Celtics. Love the way the guy played on the court and the way he handles himself off the court.

Frozenprince · Mar 30, 2017

His first born son will be bank shot

So my last name is Jones and I live in Indiana and my wife is pregnant. She said that she liked the name "Henry" as a name, and I wanted to keep it a secret, but I'm a good husband and said, "I'm all right with that, but I'm going to be calling him Indy if that is the case, because Indiana Jones's real name is Henry." That made her think twice about it.

But now, I've got her actually considering Indiana as a name for our child if it is a son lol.

Tell me I'm wrong to name my son after one of the most bad ass characters in all of film.

LiK · Mar 30, 2017

Haha, was wondering why he chose that name.

Puck Beaverton · Mar 30, 2017

Duncan is a cool dude

I like the nickname better than the actual name.

Marvel's Solo aka The One Man War on Terror

Daww..thats actually a really cute name.

Approved.

Henry was better. Indiana is too on the nose. It takes it from cool to try hard. Just my personal opinion.

That and you'd be naming the kid after the dog.

johnny_park · Mar 30, 2017

That podcast is pretty great. If you get a chance, listen to it.

They talk about how Duncan, Andrei Kirilenko, and Frye were in a WoW guild together. Lots of funny moments in that particular episode.

That's fair. Henry is probably a better choice.

I'm sure his first instinct was to name her Xiaoyu. Dude loves his Tekken.

He also loves Renaissance Fairs.

Surprised everyone is okay with this so far.

There was a thread a while ago about someone wanting to name their son after a video game character (I think?) and everyone lost their mind on how stupid that is.

Big difference between naming your daughter Quill and naming your son Gerault.

To be fair, Geralt is one letter away from a reasonable, if old-fashioned, name.

Not really, it's just a name.

Every single name in the world is made up.

Depends on the country but around here Geralt would be a perfectly reasonable name and it's not like the games are Star Wars popular. Both are fine.

Well, I do have a son named Ben and my family dog was named Benji so...

see5harp · Mar 30, 2017

Channing Frye saying his WOW character's name was dookie drawers and them both saying AK's game went downhill because of WOW was hilarious.

CountAntonius · Mar 30, 2017

Grats Duncan. Awesome he's gonna have so much time to devote to his lil girl.

When youre rich your child is allowed to have a "stupid" name

cubicle47b · Mar 30, 2017

Road Trippin is the best thing that the Cavs have done (or are likely to do) this season.

Who wouldn't want to name their child after everyone's favorite x-men character Quill?

The Pop stories were AMAZING.

"What are you even doin' here, Tim? Your dumb ass is why we even HAVE these film meetings!"

RionaaM · Mar 30, 2017

Hahaha Tim Duncan is awesome! That's so nerdy you can't help but love the man (even though I don't know the character). It doesn't hurt that he was a fantastically great player, too. Hope he's enjoying his retirement from basketball, he has earned a good nice rest.

The Kree · Mar 30, 2017

Of course Supernerd Slayven made this thread.

I'm asking if he joined the club.

Particularly since the latest chapter of this club started on this very podcast.

What did he mean by this? · Mar 30, 2017

Why not Lorde for Star-Lord and the singer

PeskyToaster · Mar 31, 2017

Well it could have been way worse
