I always liked Yancey Thigpen in days gone by.

Now I like Brandon Meriweather because it makes him sound like a hobbit.

Earthwind Moreland. How can you top that?

Outside of football, I once had an e-mail from a PR executive called Julie Schmulie.
 
Vonta Leach - FB, Texans
Jamaal Fudge - SS, Jaguars
Cleo Lemon - QB, Dolphins (I hope Florida has a lemon law)
Clint Stickdorn - C, Lions
 
Cleo Lemon.

Nice name... My cat when i was a baby was named Cleo. And she was a woman cat. What a sally.

And lemons are sally fruit.

Congratulations "Cleo", your name sucks.

It sucks royally.
 
You may want to start off by spelling them correctly:

T.J. Houshmandzadeh

My family and I have a running joke everytime we hear any of these names we say -- "I'd enjoy some Simeon Rice with a nice Samari Rolle cooked over a Cosy Coleman."



FYI -- It's The pony-tailed T.J. Houshmandzadeh is of mixed Persian and African American ancestry. He is named after his father, a native Iranian, who left his family and returned to Iran in the mid-1980s. Houshmandzadeh says he recalls nothing of his biological father and knows only what he looks like from photographs. Despite being raised by his mother, he took on his father's surname rather than his mother's, Johnson.

He didn't want to be called a Johnson. So, instead he setttled for "Who's yo mama".
 
Turdell (Terdell?) Sands deserves consideration...
 
J'J'Juan Cherry (or whatever the hell his name is).
 
Here are a few. My favorite is the FSU defensive back with the name of ***g. Imagine a backfield with Gay and ***g...we'd be the laughing stock of the NFL.

***g is actually a receiver, but awful name nonetheless.
 
For some reason, I think Nnamdi Asomugha is a really funny name.
 
***g is a reciever

anyway Hank Baskett for the eagles always makes me laugh
 
I remember a guy that played for Cleveland named Cleophus Miller. That always cracked me up. And San Francisco had a safety named Tom Holmoe.
 
How could I have forgotten Reggie Tongue.
