There should be a thread about unique names in D3.

I'll throw out James Oshkeshequoam from Lakeland.  He should be playing for UW Oshkosh.

Well, 3 weeks ago, I felt I had that all timer of names, one Mr. Prettiboi Knuckles, at Maryville College (Tn)....   his merits were being discussed in the GSAC room.....but as I looked to check the spelling, I note that Mr Knuckles is no longer on the Maryville roster!!!!     :'( :'(    Certainly our all namers must be active during the season.....
The only thing not to be liked in Florida is no D3 hoops!!!

smedindy found one on Green Mountain College's team which he commented about on the Undefeated and Winless board. Player's name is Cleopass Nakoma.

But Maryville still has Maverick Willett!

No time to do a lot of research, but Denison has a treasure trove:

Bolaji Azeez
Jon Akpapunam
Mike Garabedian
Dimonde Hale
Peter Sahasrabudhe

That's a heck of a starting five. Pity the radio announcer if they ever do play at the same time!

I think they have to win the team award. I'd like to hear Dick Vitale announcing their game. Bolajiiiiii Babeeeee!!! :D

There are very few names that are really hard if you properly prepare.  I am not an announcer, but eventually had no trouble with Tshimanga Biakubutuka (Michigan RB who lit up OSU for 313 yards in 1995), but fully understand why the announcers preferred "Touchdown Tim"! :D

I just found two while perusing the box score of that 7 OT game...

For Southern Vermont:  Jorge Jorge

But more interesting:

For Skidmore: Sakhile Sithole

I was always impressed with my ability to spell Houshmandzadeh without looking it up first.

I always liked the telephone commercial (I think) referencing Bob Wehadababyitsaboy.

A little mundane perhaps, but Keuka's Teddy Tuggles is my entry for today.

In a related matter, the last three players to wear #50 for the U of R were named Thorn, Rose and Bloom.

That is simply the most adorable name I've ever heard.  What preschooler wouldn't want to find a Teddy Tuggles under their Christmas tree?  They're so cuddly!

And how appropriate that he plays for the Keuka Fran & Ollies!
