Mathdaniel Squirrel and Kokain Mothershed are hard to beat:

@Thats2 wait are these actual athletes?

Kokain Mothershed was (a highly ranked football recruit in Oklahoma back in the late 90s) and played at NEO, as are a lot of people in that bracket. Alas Mathdaniel Squirrel made his name as a carjacker, but maybe he played ball too?

When I was younger there was a old friend of the family who’s name was Richard Cox. He went by the nickname of Dick, of course, as did pretty much every Richard from his generation. You can’t really blame his parents though. I think they named him in the 1920’s. How would they know that snickering brats in the 1980’s would laugh at the mere existence of his name?
