I'm sorry, but any list that doesn't put "Sultan McDoom" at No. 1 is questionable.  I suspect it might have damaged the coolmeter.

Not to wander from the topic regarding athletes names, but when I was in havasu city, our propane gas company was owned by a family named passmore, bob passmore was his real name and the family had been in the gas business for 2 generations.  He even sold shirts and hats that were "guy" funny I guess

Agreed. The only explanation I can think of is that a lot of people didn't know what a sultan is while buffalo meat is pretty straightforward and Kobe is well known thanks to Mr. Bryant.

One of my high school English teachers told me this story: When he was a kid, his family drove past a mailbox with the name "Outhouse" on it. By chance, his parents actually met the Outhouses at a future party. They were told the name is pronounced "oot hoos."

There was a family from my hometown town named Knauf. The K was not silent. It was pronounced cuh-noff. There were brothers: Jack Knauf and Dick Knauf.

About 12 years old is when most boys started snickering.

The most unfortunate name that I know was someone I went to high school with. His name was Richard Inman.

This thread really makes you wonder what the parents were thinking at the time.

I swear the parents that gave their kids these names need to be arrested for child abuse.

PM me for a tragi-comic name story that I cannot put in an open forum, but is truly epic.

What I object to is when people do it to themselves.
Used to have a client named Frannie Cole. Married a gentleman with the surname Medina.
She hyphenated.

My cousin married a guy whose last name is Bunyan.  At work he is called Vince, which is his middle name.  Everyone in the family calls him by his first name, which is - you guessed it -Paul.
