Dick Butkus is a HOF NFL player..They made a joke about his name in an episode of Modern Family...Mitch thinks Jay is making a gay joke when he says his name...

Tree Rollins (Wayne)
Bimbo Coles (Vernell)
Pooh Richardson (Jerome)
Fat Lever (Lafayette)
Speedy Claxton (Charles)
Sleepy Floyd (Eric)


Also surprised no one mentioned Truck Robinson

And whats with some of the guys with "normal" names changing them

Like Lloyd B Free -> World B Free
Ron Artest -> Metta World Peace
Brian Williams -> Bison Dele

And then the ones that changed to Islamic names like Chris Jackson and Lew Alcindor

I always laugh about race car legend Dick Johnson!!

As for luc mbah a moute he's a prince so he can be called whatever he wants.

Not a weird name but I also remember when a football player tried to change his name to Abdul kareem jabbar, and kareem stopped him because he claimed he was trying to use the name to be recognised.
