[tanglewood]

I love how at the end of his bio they throw in 'his father is part Native American', as if you might not have realised. :)

[Klinglerware]

I get the "Kickingstallion" part, but what to make of the "sims" part?

I still vote for God Shamgod...

[Kodos]

Dick Butkus.

[cthomer5000]

Ben Gay, former Brown

[Suicane75]

Not to knock on Stetson University, but those questions look like the things you do for a project in 3rd grade.

What Would You Like To Be: Fireman
Who Would You Like To Meet: Randy Savage, cause he's the Macho Man, OOOOOOOOOOooohhhhhh Yeahhhhhh.

[Suicane75]

Oh, and X-Ray Hip

[digamma]

The brothers Scientific and Majestic Mapp.

[vtbub]

Rusty Kuntz

[Klinglerware]

Rusty Kuntz

He probably has to go around saying, "It's pronounced 'Koontz'".

[digamma]

In my first year criminal law section, there was a woman named Karen Fuchs. She pronounced it like fyooks, but of couse, the first day of class, the professor calls on her and pronounces it, "Ms. Fucks."

[Pumpy Tudors]

Oh, and X-Ray Hip
Exree Hipp? What happened to him anyway?

[BigJohn&TheLions]

Moon Unit Zappa

[Pumpy Tudors]

Moon Unit Zappa
Who does Moon Unit Zappa play for?

[gottimd]

Exree Hipp? What happened to him anyway?

I think he is on the Harlem Globetrotters now or something like that.

[Senator]

Boobie Clark had double D's.

true story.

[Pumpy Tudors]

I think he is on the Harlem Globetrotters now or something like that.
Ah, yes, I did go to a Globetrotters game about 3 years ago, and Exree Hipp was listed on the team roster. He was not on the squad that visited New Orleans that night, though.

[korme]

Two brothers who played football who I think went to....Middletown HS around my area were named Sir and Mister Simpson.

Thought those names were interesting.

[Scholes]

I-Perfection Harris, DB, Georgia Tech.

Like Billy Ocean once said.... simply....awesome.

[BigJohn&TheLions]

Who does Moon Unit Zappa play for?

That's what I get for logging in at work and only half-paying attention to what I read...

[Pumpy Tudors]

I'm surprised that it took me this long to mention Pumpy Tudors. Duh.

[MIJB#19]

Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink


Hold on, not so quickly with saying it's typical unproouncable Dutch...
The word "of" is Dutch for "or", so the ever ongoing joke when this football (I mean soccer) player scores a goal, and he does a lot, people wonder who scored, was it Vennegoor or Hesselink?

Yeah, the short first name is a downer, but Jan is probably the most common male first name of th 20th century in the Netherlands.

[WSUCougar]

There's a DB, I believe on the Patriots, with the first name "Earthwind."

[KWhit]

Mandic Brings Size... (http://www.nineronline.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2002/11/08/3dcb3b515dd9b?in_archive=1)

No. That's gotta be made up, doesn't it? Her name is Ivana Mandic?!?!?!?!

:eek:

We have a winner.

[Ramzavail]

Wonderful Monds - Braves

They mentioned that his middle name was Terrific on a TBS broadcast...so essentially

its Wonderful Terrific Monds

[Samdari]

Jan is probably the most common male first name of th 20th century in the Netherlands.

Its not Maaaatttttthhhhhhhhhhhhjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjiiiiiiiiiiiiiiissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss?

[dann]

Hart Lee Dykes name always made me chuckle when I played Super Tecmo Bowl. Not quite as funny to me now as it was then, but still an interesting name

[VPI97]

Her name is Ivana Mandic?!?!?!?! You have got to be kidding me.

[JeeberD]

Gregor Fucka

http://www.euroleague.net/fotos/noticias/jornada1/med_632_20.jpg

Unfortunately, his last name is pronounced "Fooshka"...

[Klinglerware]

And then there's Miroslav Satan.

Maybe I'll name my kid "Shatan" and tell everybody it's pronounced "Satan".

[korme]

Stumbled upon this, best name ever. This is a solid prank name, I can't believe it's really his name:

CHUBBY COX

[MIJB#19]

Its not Maaaatttttthhhhhhhhhhhhjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjiiiiiiiiiiiiiiissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss?Nope, the j comes after the i to form the ij.:p
In fact, lately my name is becoming very common. Once your name pops up in soap operas, tv commercials and McDonald's radio commercials, you know you've got a first name that's not special. Sigh...
