He's....a giant

How does his parents knew he was going to be giant as a baby? Or it was just luck that he was named Andre the Giant, and grew up to be giant?

Manifest destiny, you name a kid "the Giant" and they'll grow

He was enormous at birth, if I remember correctly.

Some cultures give their children a temporary name, a milk name, and only give their definitive name later on. But in this case, it's just a nickname.
