chubby cox? seriously?

 

lucious pusey actually legally changed his name...that was also on deadspin

 

there are also the mapp brothers...majestic mapp and scientific mapp. it seems someone comes up with a list of college basketball players every year.

 

also the duany thing is fairly normal. there was a longar longar playing for oklahoma a couple years back. i think it is a sudanese tradition to give that name to the first born son.

 

what else...boubacar aw?

[pogokat]

there was a hockey player named stephane mateau (pronounced, basically, step on my toe)

 

as the owner of a fukudome jersey, and as one who had to explain that it wasnt a joke to my boss, i'll say i think the stuff about his name is annoying...

[bbrauch2000]

duany duany is part of a tribe in Africa where the first born son takes his father name as his first name so there are a ton of guys out there with something similar

I've a Nicky Butt man united jersey, it was a mischievious birthday present from a friend.

 

Can you imagine wearing a jersey in public with word BUTT at the back, I might be the butt of jokes and people would be laughing behind my back. Needless to say I don't wear it to work or anywhere, except when I go to bed.
