Outstanding Names

[Mr_Danger]

Nobody can churn out bad butter puns like the Carbomber.

What are your plans for the weekend?

New Rangers signing, Fashion Sakala.

[deathrey]

Sakala translates as teach in Punjabi, so it sounds extra funny to me.

[Carbomb]

The Jamaican who unexpectedly won the gold for the 110m hurdles yesterday has the brilliant name of Hansle Parchment.

[Magnum Milano]

Another from the Olympics which I spotted last night, Ugandan Marathon runner Immaculate Chemutai.

I know a girl whose father is an academic working at a local university. Using his academic title, his name is Professor Pain, which I think is absolutely marvellous and thus a shoe in for this thread. Like the antagonist in a Spider-Man film or something. 

[SuperBacon]

All great, but they pale in comparison to KOOL-AID MCKINSTRY.

That reminds me of my tutor at uni who was called Dr Glock. Definitely sounds like a rap name.

Sounds like a Kool Keith pseudonym for sure.

These sound like they should all be played by Key & Peele.

As much as I love my boy Kool-Aid (he's going in the first round in a couple of years, bet) I think with him, as with all of these, you have to consider the nickname factor when selecting such teams.

If we just focus on the DBs, AFAIK Buck Coors, New Zealand Williams and yes, even Storm Duck are real names, so their selection is definitely justified.

Smoke Monday, however, is a nickname just like Kool-Aid McKinstry. As a real-life Quindarious he comes off fairly well in this category, but IMO he absolutely shouldn't be beating out Ga'Quincy McKinstry.

Happy 91st birthday Sir.
