Grant Hill wrapped himself in bandages and ice, dreaming of becoming a tough football player like his father. Hector Camacho Jr. would peek into his father's closet and long to wear the ostentatious hand-me-downs of gaudy capes, loincloth boxing shorts and Roman-solider headpieces.

Frank Viola Jr. wore his family pride solemnly, consumed by the pressure of having to match his father's success as one of the most dominant pitchers in professional baseball.

"I used to think I had to live up my dad's potential," Frankie Jr. said, "but I know I can't do that."

A last name is a permanent legacy that can spark a child's desire to equal their father's athletic achievements, but is can also become a wretched burden to bear.

In Central Florida, the transition from baby steps to distinguished footprints is taking a prosperous turn, high on achievements and low on angst.

The names Hill, Viola, Pressey, Camacho and Raines, among others, are casting imprints in sports for the second-time around.

From Grant Hill, the old fogy of the bunch as a 29-year-old point-forward with the Orlando Magic, to Brittany Viola, a 14-year-old diver, sons and daughters of famous Central Florida athletes are making mommies and daddies proud.
