The NASCAR race legend that was Dick Trickle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Trickle

Also, there was a pair of drivers who shared a sportscar in le mans type racing Kyle Wankum / Steve Doff - the results page never showed first names...

That reminds me of a couple of council candidates while I worked in local politics in Bath. Dick Beef and his wife, Cherry Beef.

My best friend from childhood had a mum called Theresa Brown.

A real life pun and that's why most people don't believe me.

No word of a lie I went to school with a Theresa Brown. We had a Mike Hunt too (although he insisted on Michael.)

 

A friend of my swears she had someone at hers called Dwayne Pipe but I still don't believe her.

My mate's neighbor when we were growing up was called Hazel Nutt. I wonder how much of a factor the name was when she chose to marry Mr Nutt.

I often think of NFL legend Dick Butkus's name. For years I only knew it as a lyric in a Wu Tang song, and then I found out it was a real person.

Ha, I know his name from How High - weird how these things appear to us sometimes.

The NFL is full of wonderful names. Captain Munnerlyn, Barkevious Mingo,  and Ha Ha Clinton-Dix are current favourites. Barkevious Mingo sounds like someone out of Harry Potter, and he also has a brother called Hughtavious Mingo. They like a drink in the Mingo household when they are picking out baby names

I've been using "Bumm-ra" as an expression of distaste or dissatisfaction about an event, usually over text message, for many years. Imagine my delight when watching the cricket highlights to see India fielding Bumrah this week.

The NBA has Metta World Peace but alas it isn't his birth name.

Dont'a Hightower is another particular favourite of mine from that area.

As a bonus he has a haircut you can set your watch to.

[Sergio Mendacious]

My dad has had occasion to work with Dirk Donker.

[Bellenda Carlisle]

Sounds like something one would say after complimenting a friend's cock.

[Keith Houchen]

Thought @PowerButchi might have posted a wrestler with a Gatso name.

[PowerButchi]

Ha, I forgot the the team of Ragin and Raper.
