The more test leagues I run, the more interesting names I get.

Another owner in said historical league is named Scott Scott.

MrEndshiftresign · 04-30-2010, 05:59 AM

From my 2010-onwards Washington Nationals dynasty...we have first-rounders LF Jake Roberts, MR Aaron Carter and 3B James Taylor. Fairly common names, but celebrity/washed-up celebrity/drunken ex-wrestler names nonetheless...

And I think this dynasty also has a Bryan Adams somewhere in the minors...

gentlemanofleisure · 04-30-2010, 10:41 AM

I had a minor leaguer on my team named, "Chris Christie"

The current gov. of New jersey.

MrEndshiftresign · 05-07-2010, 03:59 PM

Currently in the 20th season of my dynasty, and I've uncovered a few gems...

- AAA catcher Michael Jackson, who was, interestingly enough, born 6/22/05, or nearly 4 years before the real King Of Pop died. This Michael Jackson, though, is far from being a King Of Pop, as his potential Power rating is only 7.

- Arizona just drafted a starting pitcher named Donnie Brooks. But that's nothing compared to...

- ...fellow first-rounder Richard Wadd, also a starting pitcher.

Pity really, because if he was a slugger, I'd have given him that nickname.

I have a young 1st baseman with the name; "Mei Hung."

To bad he didn't compete for the job against "Richard Short."

Afino · 05-07-2010, 10:01 PM

Just found a John Locke.

I made his nickname "Smokey".

Afino · 06-06-2010, 11:14 PM

I have no where else to put this, and I'm not starting a thread for something so juvenile and immature, but WTG to the PBP for creating the perfect storm!

You should give Wadd the nickname "Johnny" or "Holmes".

I had an outfielder named Vince Vega in OOTP10.

24Rocks · 06-09-2010, 01:04 PM

There once was a pitcher in one of my leagues named Remington "B" Galant, the AI gave him the nickname.

Tram2Whitaker · 06-10-2010, 11:23 AM

This doesn't fall under the category of unusual names, but rather the generated nicknames.

One of my top prospects is a pitcher from Japan named Yusahiro "Juan Gone" Tonako.....

Just curious where they get Juan Gone out of that?

Is this a bad omen of things to come? I mean Juan Gone hit a lot of home runs, so a pitcher named "Juan Gone", does he give up a lot of home runs?

Tram2Whitaker · 07-14-2010, 09:30 AM

In the weird nickname files. Bill "Willie the Knuck" Taylor.

Malleus Dei · 07-14-2010, 09:42 AM

A catcher in one of my leagues is named Ben High.

Malleus Dei · 07-15-2010, 04:43 PM

Willis Turgoose, middle reliever.

dickysty · 07-15-2010, 04:49 PM

We have a Catcher named Gun Nickell in my solo league.

dickysty · 07-15-2010, 05:04 PM

1B - Brendon O'Horney also in my solo.

dickysty · 07-15-2010, 05:10 PM

RF- Stone Shank

Curve Ball Dave · 07-15-2010, 05:13 PM

One of the better starting pitchers in my fictional league is Paul Menard (the real one is a NASCAR driver).

I will say that this version does a much better job of name creation than the previous ones.
