  • Top 10 Worst sports names

    Saw this on a Chicago sports site and thought it would be a fun off-season time killer. What are the worst names and best names for an athlete?

    For worst I'll add Pats CB, Harry Colon.


    For best we're starting our own list. I'll start it off with the Bears LB, Michael Stonebreaker

    Here's the list from the Chicago site. Please add names as you see fit.

    SFC’s Top Ten Unfortunate Names in Sports

    Parents often get too caught up trying to give their children a unique name. This usually ends up with a bunch of parents picking that same “unique” name at the same time, rendering the whole exercise a huge waste of time. Then there are these poor bastards.


    Honorable Mention
    Dick Butkus – He was awesome, but his name isn’t.
    10. Misty Hyman – Her parents must have smoked up before pulling this name out of the hat.
    9. Yoshie Takeshita – Just make sure you light a match and flush please.


    8. Craphonso Thorpe – Sometimes combining two names into one first name is not such a good idea.


    7. Milton Bradley – Talk about tarnishing a celebrated name.


    6. Coco Crisp – Cereal is not that cool.


    5. Ron Tugnutt - Ouch.


    4. Karen Cockburn - Enter at your own risk (rubbers not included)


    3. Dick Pole – You’re my hero.


    2.Rusty Kuntz – I’m sure it’s not pronounced Cun…


    1. Dick Trickle – He should be the spokesperson for Depends.

    For me, it's a toss up between Dick Trickle and Dick Butkus. I think that those are the worst names, hands down. Of course, nobody was going to poke any fun at Butkus.

      I thought that list would have Randall Gay, not that there's anything wrong with that name.

      Woody Johnson also gets honorable mention. I think Flo Hymen edges Misty.

        I actually think Milton Bradley and Coco Crisp are awesome names.

        This list reminds me of the urban myth about twins named Lemonjello and Orangejello. Except they're real.

        Craphonso? Seriously?

            One of my all time favorite names was that of the Providence College point guard who came to the nation's attention during the 1997 March Madness. His given name was God Shammgod.

            He played in the NBA for a couple years and subsequently played in China, Poland and Saudi Arabia. He was all-knowing and all-powerful but couldn't shoot to save his ass.

            As far as a list of worst names, how could one be complete without these two:


            Johnny Dickshot





            And the original slavic Wild and Crazy Guy...
