PghHornetsFan 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2008 To pick on the Flames a bit: Phaneuf always makes me laugh...I call him "Fluff n Stuff" (ironic because he's really not, but I just don't like him!) and Iginlia sounds like some horrible stomach virus! There's a guy playing for the WB/S Penguins named Ryan Stone...like a Ryan Stone Cowboy...I know I know ...I'm older than the stuff under dirt...but my username should be a giveaway to older Wings fans...

stormboy 47 Report post Posted May 14, 2008 Not all NHL..... but some great ones. The last 2 actually do exist. No joke. Toby Os***ola: Soccer player (striker) for Barnet (UK). Jack Glasscock: Shortstop and second baseman for Cleveland, 1879-95. Harry Colon: Former defensive back for the Detroit Lions. Rusty Kuntz: Former outfielder for the Detriot Tigers. Dean Windass: Soccer player (forward) for Middlesbrough in the UK. Ron Tugnutt: NHL goalie (Dallas Stars). Misty Hyman: US Olympic swimmer. Gregor f***a: Slovenian basketball player who now plays for Barcelona. Pull Dickoff: Soccer player for West Ham United in the UK. trés bien. this one doesn't sound dirty at all, but i've always been amazed by how Byfuglien sounds like "buff-lenn."

amberlynn25 9 Report post Posted May 15, 2008 Actually, it would be more like naming your kid John Johnson or Andy Anderson. If I'm not mistaken, Fedor = Theodore in Russian. off topic, but I saw some one named Michael Michaels... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry for the late reply. But I am living in Europe and it was like bedtime yesterday haha... Zelepukin is funny because you can divide it in Zele and Pukin.... Zele looks like Zelenyj = Green Pukin can be from the word Pukat which means Fart or Farting So he gets green farts ... very populair guy at school when he was young ;-)) Greetings!

I think his life was a hell when he was young (I would tease him if he was on my school) ah well he made the NHL, I do not ( so he will have the last laugh) *edit : oh actually I did see it just now.. nice banner you have.. I really loved Duckhunt as a kid on the Nintendo * Edited May 15, 2008 by Vladimir316 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

55fan 5,133 Report post Posted May 16, 2008 I used to work with a lady whose husband's name was Harold Dyck. Never Harry. Wonder why. I also knew a Sandy Beach, a Candy Kane, and a Chanda Lier. I went to college with a girl named Maresch, who married a guy named Melo and she hypenated. Maresch-Melo. Zidlicky and Bonk always make me laugh. Every time I hear Bonk, I always have to say "Bonk, Bonk, Bonk" to myself for no real reason other than it's amusing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wings_Rule_1010 4 Report post Posted May 16, 2008 Lasse Kukkonen I always thought that was a weird name That was the first one that game to mind--sounds bizarre, especially when those (damn) versus announcers say it fast. Also, this is from the mlb, but my addition to the list of funny names would be Milton Bradley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
