Old Time Hockey is full of names like that. Toe Blake and Gump Worsley, for starters.

I always liked mid 70's Chisox player Nyls Nyman. Sounded like the name of a guy in the cast of I Am Curious (Yellow).

Dickie Noles.....one of my most hated players of the 1980's.

"I have no idea if that (the brushback pitch by Dickie Noles) turned the (1980 World) Series around. All I know is we lost. Someone had to lose. They were a great team. We were a great team. We did one thing very uncharacteristic of what we did all year. Whenever we had a lead in the sixth or seventh inning, we won the game. But we had leads in the first two games and lost." - George Brett in Baseball Digest (March 1998)

Yes. Either Oklahoma or Nebraska I believe.

Oklahoma also has a Kerry Cash.

And there is a famous story by Keith Jackson about a Texas A&M defensive back called Vinney Minney. Say that with your Keith impersonation.

On the mens DPBA... (Duckpin Professional Bowlers Association) there was a gentleman named Fairley Poor. In reality he was moderately wealthy

I'm still considering a name change to "Heywood Jablowme" I think it would go over real well.
