Crumpler for a tight end I thought was awesome.

I have also have thought if your last name is Butkis and you decide to name your son Dick, you have either made a depressed suicidal son or the toughest guy around.

ALGAE crumpler...

See the "Sue" school, above, re Butkis. Seems to have worked in his case.

I remember when Joe Montana was coming to Kansas City and there was actually discussion that he needed a nick. I mean, What?!?! The dude's REAL NAME is Joe Montana!!!

 

[RhodyRams]

Ivana Mandic
And let's not forget Ron Mexico

Tshimanga "Tim" Biakabutuka was always my favorite when I was a kid, Biakabutuka just rolled off the tongue.
Chris Fuamatu-Ma'afala always had the best Chris Berman nickname: Bad Ma'afala.

And the aptly nicknamed Magic Johnson.

Ivana Mandic

Now that's just unfortunate.

Dick Trickle is pretty amazing.

Tiger Woods!

I like D'Brickashaw Ferguson too. The Brick- for an offensive lineman, oh yea.

Sort of like Joey Buttafuoco.

My favorite baseball player ever:

Kirby Puckett

That sounds like a birth defect: " Mrs. Jones I regret to tell you your baby has a kirby pucket, it can be managed the first year and then we can straighten it but it will always be slightly irregular"

 

[CodeMonkey]

Kirby Puckett is pretty amazing.

It totally sounds like ought to be in the dictionary. Perhaps a popular vacation spot on the coast in Maine..?.?.?

 

[BatteringRambo]

Cleveland Gary, CJ Ah-You, Richie Incognito...damn all former Rams oddly enough.

Ok, Webster Slaughter and Elvis Grbac too.

And 'He Hate Me' j/k.

 

[ABIGRAMFAN]

I always liked Roman Gabriel too

 

[cracengl]

 

[Selassie I]

He Hate Me

 

[VegasRam]

He Hate Me

I actually enjoyed the XFL - too bad ESPN killed it.

 

[fearsomefour]

I do love those old Pats unis.

My son had a teammate on his high school basketball team who's first name was Sunshine who had hair that went about half way down his back.
That can go one of two ways for a boy. Given that all of the guys on the team called him by his name with no sense of joking or sarcasm told me how he handled it.
My son confirmed for me later on no one messed with Sunshine.
I imagine the people with some of these names were toughies.
