Justin7218 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Sorry if this thread has already been made before, but what are some of your favorite odd names in sports? I know there's the Dick Trickle and Rusty Kuntz ones, but I'm not talking about the dirty ones like that. What I find funny are the really "interesting" names like the ones below. Danger Fourpence Thurston Armbrister Creedance Clearwater Couto Yourhighness Morgan Earthwind Moreland D'Brickashaw Ferguson Phillipkeith Manley Sir'Dominic Pointer Tutankhamen Reyes Any other people with really odd names?

kimball Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Not related, but semi-related to the point that I don't care that I am posting this. Best headline ever ... Fort Wayne scratches Harry Baals out for name of government building; goes with Citizens Square http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/fort-wayne-scratches-harry-baals-government-building-citizens-square-article-1.120939 "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific."

mcj882000 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 My favourite thing about Harry Baals is the time a reporter interviewed him and tried to side-step around that by pronouncing his name "Bales", only for Harry to correct him: "Son, this is your Mayor. I pronounce my name 'Balls'." Like, he knew exactly what his name sounded like (if I had to guess he probably got picked on a lot as a kid) but he just owned it completely; I can respect that.

FGM13 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Rangers 2nd baseman Rougned Odor and his brother, Rangers infield prospect Rougned Odor. The story behind the name is that Rougned is a combination of his grandparents' names; Douglas and Nedia. So, Dougned. But, family tradition dictates that names start with an R (so his uncle is named Rouglas, I'm imagining this strange tradition started with his naming), so you get Rougned. Why there are two of them, however, I have no idea. GO OILERS-GO BLUE JAYS-GO ESKIMOS-GO COLTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
