Marquette Cool Name Hall of Fame

[warriorchick]

So, the ayes have it on the Cool Name Contest.

I thought as a warm-up, we could start with the most interesting names in Marquette Basketball history.  I have nominated my personal favorites, but if you think I have left off a voteworthy name, please let me know and I will add the most popular write-ins.

You may vote for up to five names.  Have fun!

I'm adding Ulice Payne to my list.

[GurneeHitchkr]

Come on.  Vander Blue is the coolest name.  Just think of what he'll name his kids?

Midnight
Cordon
Lida
Sky

The options of cool "Blue" names are endless for him.

Ron Rahn was a friend - had to go with him.

[Warhawk Warrior]

I am adding Homer True

Sorry, Homer is not eligible.  He is not listed on the Scoop Wiki as having ever been on the roster.

Sorry, it's Ulice. On top of that, he's a pretty neat guy too!

Other than Ulice Payne, no other names from the 80s or 90s.

[4everwarriors]

Elmer Fockett

[Dish]

Dick Strong didn't make the list, really?

[River rat]

Jack mihogoff

[willie warrior]

Con Yagodyastremski---don't remember him, so he has to be on the list. I mean, after all with a first name of Con and a Slavic last name, c'mon man! Kielbasa forever!

I had said the same thing to chick as she was pulling the list together.  But no doubt that era had plenty of very vanilla names.  Al's era as well.  As chick said, Butch Lee simply doesn't measure up and she didn't want to 'reach' just to balance the decades.

Bernard "Looney" Toone.

Nothing vanilla about "Brute Force" or "The Elevator Man"

[WayOfTheWarrior]

I'm just waiting for the coolest opposing player names list. Three recent ones off the top of my head:

Sir'Dominic Pointer
God's Gift Achiuwa
Onochie Ochie

[KonaWarrior]

Dr. Hatchett (Larry Hatchett 70-80's)

[warriorchick]

Nothing vanilla about "Brute Force" or "The Elevator Man"

I am using actual roster names.

I would welcome a nice separate list of nicknames, as I am not as familiar with those.
