Crumpler for a tight end I thought was awesome.

I have also have thought if your last name is Butkis and you decide to name your son Dick, you have either made a depressed suicidal son or the toughest guy around.
ALGAE crumpler...

See the "Sue" school, above, re Butkis. Seems to have worked in his case.

I remember when Joe Montana was coming to Kansas City and there was actually discussion that he needed a nick. I mean, What?!?! The dude's REAL NAME is Joe Montana!!!
 
Tshimanga "Tim" Biakabutuka was always my favorite when I was a kid, Biakabutuka just rolled off the tongue.
Chris Fuamatu-Ma'afala always had the best Chris Berman nickname: Bad Ma'afala.

And the aptly nicknamed Magic Johnson.

Dick Trickle is pretty amazing.

Tiger Woods!

I like D'Brickashaw Ferguson too. The Brick- for an offensive lineman, oh yea.
 
My favorite baseball player ever:

Kirby Puckett

That sounds like a birth defect: " Mrs. Jones I regret to tell you your baby has a kirby pucket, it can be managed the first year and then we can straighten it but it will always be slightly irregular"

Cleveland Gary, CJ Ah-You, Richie Incognito...damn all former Rams oddly enough.

Ok, Webster Slaughter and Elvis Grbac too.

And 'He Hate Me' j/k.
 
My son had a teammate on his high school basketball team who's first name was Sunshine who had hair that went about half way down his back.
That can go one of two ways for a boy. Given that all of the guys on the team called him by his name with no sense of joking or sarcasm told me how he handled it.
My son confirmed for me later on no one messed with Sunshine.
I imagine the people with some of these names were toughies.
