Weird names in footy.

[MaccasNeighbour]

All this trade talk has got me thinking, if Jade Rawlings wasn't such a big bloke I'm sure he would have got beaten up a lot at school for having such a girly name. Has anyone ever met a bloke named Jade? I mean seriously what is the deal with his parents?

Reminds me of the name Chad. I've never met a person with that name but I remember a game between WC and Crows a couple of years back when there were 3 Chads on the ground at one time.

What other Dicky names are there in the AFL?

It'd be good to add this category to my Word Search game. I need 16 surnames and I'd be more keen on strange spelling or letters like Yze as that would make it harder to find the names.
Anyone wanna help out?
Also, what could I call the category? One word.

If you don't know what the hell I'm talking about - here's the game on the Saints section of AOK.

You're right, sounds like a (female) pr0n star.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Biggert name in footy ..... Rochford Devenish-Meares.
Played 8 games for the Hawks in 1968 and wore number 24 before Peter Knights and Chris Langford made it famous.

He's a good player and a nice guy, but I wouldn't name my son Tarkyn.

Every time I hear the name Tarquin Lockyer I am reminded of that Monty Python skit with Tarquin Fintimlimbimlimbimwhimbimlin Bus Stop Ftang Ftang Olay Biscuit Barrel.

I know a bloke called Jade. Funny eh?

I also went to school with a guy called Leslie, geez did he cop it!

 

[yikes]

Ruperts not really a good name

 

[RooDog]

what about ex bullies player
Sedat Sir

 

[Richoagain]

Sedat Sir was Turkish - among the Turks I'm sure it sounds perfectly normal...

 

[Disgustipated]

Always thought Jonny Gastev was a great name, was good to see him in Snatch as Boris the Bullet dodger.

That would be true for all of these so called strange names.

What nationality is Yze?

Yze is Albanian and Johnny Gastev is Macedonian.

Both pretty typical names in their respective communities.

He would have, but he couldn't find a brown and gold smoking jacket

Pity he never got drafted. Commetti would have a field day...

With Peter Welsh, Andrew Ireland, Heath Scotland and Des English, you have all of Great Britain covered.

Coached, of course, by Wayne Brittain.

 

[sherb]

You could throw Barnaby French and Peter German in as well if you wanted to head over to the continent.

He'd be good on Brownlow night... "Tarquin Fintimlimbimlimbimwhimbimlin Bus Stop Ftang Ftang Olay Biscuit Barrel - 2 votes".

 

[GoEagles]

Always loved the name Mark Zanotti

 

[riccardo]

I seem to remember a Brisbane player called Dikfoss, I found that name very funny when I was a kid.
Lazar Vidovic of the Saints was unusually named, as are old time Saint Wellesley Eike.
In regards to Jade Rawlings and Shannon Grant, etc having "girly" names, the great Saints player Cumberland was christened 'Vivian'. No wonder he prefered to be called 'Vic".

 

[The Shev]

Kangaroo player who got delisted recently...

Hugh Foot

When I first saw that name, I thought it said Huge Foot.

Tarkyn Lockyer

Rupert Betheras

Digby Morrell
