I am currently watching Pitt vs. Boston College. The Pitt kicker has the name Chris Blewitt. Not a good name, for a couple of reasons :) What are some other bad names among guys in college football (or other sports)?

Former racecar driver Dick Trickle. I remember Dan Patrick on SportsCenter would always announce the winner and maybe the top 5 and then he would announce where Dick Trickle finished, even if it was last, haha.

I was going to post about Ha Ha Clinton Dix. Definitely one of the NFL's most memorable this season.

A kid on my high school football team was named Bobo, though I was never sure if that was his given name.

(in recent years I discovered it wasn't universally understood that in children-speak "bobo" is a #2)
