Cool Names - Sports Edition

There are a lot of weird names out there in the world. 

Navaeh seems to be popular because it's "heaven" backwards.  God Shammgod is a guard from Providence by way of NYC.

Here's a collection of some unique names from the sports world, in no particular order.  I'm aiming for active players only.

  1. Kila Ka'aihue - first baseman for the Oakland A's, not surprisingly from Hawaii
  2. Captain Munnerlyn - cornerback for the Carolina Panthers, but he is not the captain
  3. Dirk Nowitzki - forward for the Dallas Mavericks, it's just fun to say .. Dirk Dirk Dirk
  4. Placido Polanco - utility player for the Phillies, talking about fun to say
  5. Richie Incognito - guard for the Miami Dolphins, but he's undercover
  6. Bronson Arroyo - pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds, long hair don't care and he's with the band
  7. Jon Jay and Lance Lynn - outfielder and pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals, because everyone loves saying names that begin with the same letter
  8. Kaka - soccer player from Brazil, just because it makes you laugh
  9. R.A. Dickey - pitcher for the New York Mets, just because it makes you laugh
  10. Metta World Peace - forward for the Los Angeles Lakers, who is serving a suspension for elbowing James Harden in the head, ironic
That's good for now.
