Its like lavraneous coles or whatever.
Oh c'mon, none of those are as bad as Ashlie Lelie. I mean seriously, what were his parents thinking. Were they trying to come up with the name most likely to get him beat up everyday.
Priest is another kind of silly name, but when you're the savior of so many fantasy teams for 3-4 years you can get away with funny names.
i think some parents do name their boys feminine names just so they will get picked on -- and tough by extension. I knew a guy named leslie who was a bad ass. although I think the logic of the parents is stupid/
The opening scene of the movie "Saving Private Ryan" is loosely based on games of dodgeball Brian Dawkins played in second grade.

I too knew a guy named Leslie, although his goal in life was to get a golden shower, so that plan may have backfired a bit....

The Boy-named-Sue logic... but the problem with that is, at the end of that song, the kid kills his dad. (Johnny Cash fans?)
My favorite sports name right now is the guy from the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, CA, USA, World, Solar System, Milky Way, Universe - Chone Figgins (pronounced "Shawn")

I knew a guy named Leslie.....he went by TJ in school. Nobody called him Leslie
I was a bit livid watching the VA tech game and the announcer kept calling Humes, Homes. However, I think someone corrected him cause after about 5 times saying his name wrong he began saying it right.
And it's pronounced Plexiglass, you'll see, just wait
I too knew a kid in HS named Leslie, he was a bad ass in 7th and 8th grade. Then I changed schools and we ended up playing against each other in freshman football, I was an O guard he was Nose Tackle.

another white guy...where does ebonics come into this? That would be Anferny Hardaway....his mom mispelled Anthony on the birth certificate, true story.
That's not a true story. Penny's name is spelled Anfernee Hardaway and his mom called him that because a family friend had that name.

Pretty sure that Sue winds up having a drink with his old man... at least he does on the version i own.
My favorite football name Osi Umenyiora. But in all the world of sports, i'd have to agree, Chone is far and away the best.
