Funny Names

[Casey 145]

Two of the pitchers from the Yankees- Small and Wang.

Gave me no end of amusement when they would be listed as starting sequential games.

I think you mean Paul Dickov, he never played for West Ham

Oh will this never end.

Again, I stand corrected.

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!)

Me and some of my friends constantly make fun of his name saying things such as "ive had phaneuf of his s***" or "cut it out ive had phaneuf"

Dick Butkus is a classic

Darius Kasparaitis - If that doesn't sound like a terminal disease, I don't know what does.

my dad always enjoys going with "99 Phaneuf Balloons"

Snort. ROFLMAO

Perfect.

[Datsyerberger 279]

Jack Ball. (He's local)

Kickusoff. I mean, Kiprusoff.

Craig Rivet. This one requires a slight bit of imagination. It doesn't take too much to make the leap from "Rivet" to "Ribbet" (some languages even hold b and v as the same sound), and given the time he was at Montreal, this quickly becomes an allusion to frogs, atleast in my mind. So whenever I watch him play, I always say "Rivet, Rivet, Rivet" in rapid succession to sound like a frog. Doesn't work now that he's on the Sharks, though : (

And let's face it, as much as we love him, Datsyuk is also funny. "Dats yuck? That's yuck? What? You're calling him 'Datssooook'? Alright then..."

And how can we forget Patty "Waaaaauuugh" (always makes me think "For the Imperium of Man!" and "Blood for the Blood God!" right afterwards. If you don't get the geekiness of this, nevermind, lol) ANOTHER RIGHT BY WAAAUGH! ANOTHER RIGHT BY WAAAAAUGH!

Oscarmeyer and Salami. Fitting that they're on the same team.

More like an STD.

Fedor Fedorov. That would be like naming your kid Yzer Yzerman or Zetter Zetterberg.

Radek Bonk is my favorite of all time. Someone mentioned him earlier.

Bates Battaglia is one I always thought was funny. I've met lots of people but none were ever named Bates.

[Nev 1,085]

Rutu , Cheechoo, Tootoo

but my favorite is Anti Laaksonen .. sounds like something you take if you're constipated.

Are you pro or Anti Laaksonen?

Wow, OotF, that list is golden. (Are Pull Dickoff and Tugnutt cousins?)

Someone is using a bit of artistic license, its actually PAUL Dickoff. He's a bit of a nutter too. Not much talent, but runs around like crazy and gets right under the oppositions skin.

I like to call him Celine Dion Phaneuf.

[selkie 10]

Espen Knutsen- one part cable television channel and one part sour cream manufacturer

And pretty much any Finnish name sounds funny in English.

From swimming- Attila Czene

Fedor Fedorov. That would be like naming your kid Yzer Yzerman or Zetter Zetterberg.

Actually, it would be more like naming your kid John Johnson or Andy Anderson.

If I'm not mistaken, Fedor = Theodore in Russian.
