Taurian Fontenette (AKA Mr. 720. AKA The Air up there)Plays for And1. He's famous for performing a 720 dunk during a game. The video of it is excellent. My favourite part is that soon after he dunks a kid does an intense re-enactment on the ground. I find the names emerging from the black community in the USA to be the most creative. They make new names or change traditional spelling, e.g: Vonnessa. Perhaps because I'm used to classic white-Christian names (Michael, Matthew, John, etc). I remember the two main characters in the book There Are No Children Here. It was about Lafayette and Pharoah Rivers growing up in Chicago.
Saku Koivu
Finnish Hockey player for the Montreal Canadians. I could say this name all day long. The Finns do names right (Teemu Selanne, Teppo Numinen).
God Shammgod
I remember seeing him play college basketball. He was drafted by Washington but didn't make the regular rotation.
Ted Starr
The name of a student I taught a couple of years ago. He was a rock star/hockey captain/all-around nice guy with a Team Canada temper during sports. He also had good sense of humour. The name was a perfect fit.
