There's a lot more to a name than some would expect. I think one name that has always rung loud in my ear has been Tim Pest. Something about his size, yet the thought of a pest just seems to strike a chord in my mind. He is essentially a pest to every defensive lineman in the league because they just can't get by him and that would, seemingly, upset him and get him frustrated. Tim Pest also rings in my head because it kind of sounds like the best, which is what he is. he is the best teammate and the best offensive lineman in the league. I am shocked that he finished so low in the best players list because he is an absolute goon who didn't allow a single sack. And he's a proven winner, I dont think his leadership can be understated, he is a silent leader who everybody on the team respects. That's why he is the best. This guy is a freak of nature and his name is so fitting because he is a Pest to everybody who has to play him, but the best to everybody who has the opportunity to play with him.

Vash "The Stampede" Erikson
With a name reminiscent of mid 90s anime Trigun. This man is preaching he opposite of Peace and Love this player is taking more along he lines of Guts and Glory. The Television shows Vash The Stampede was a gunslinger in a futuristic western setting. Leading to some good old fashion gunslinging. That idea of the gunslinging led to the player being a safety and protecting against those gunslingers, much like the character from the show. Having the last name Erikson, is a nod to one of the most famous Vikings of American history. Lief Erikson, the man who arguably was the first to sail over and discover America. Drawing from the heart, strength, and cunning of the Vikings who traversed seas and took on anything in there way, Vash draws his last names namesake. The combination of the first and last name, along with the drawn inspiration combine into the old wedding adage. Something old (Viking reference), something new (futuristic western), something borrowed (the names) and something blue (the black and blues that will be felt of anyone crossing his path on the field). As a big fan of names and what goes into them, I opted to go for something I found interesting. There were many great, clever names out there that I enjoy and get a chuckle out of. But for me, crafting a players name into something I liked and was semi serious about, helps me get into the mindset of the player, and want to succeed as them. Approx 257 [div align=center]
The clear-cut second best name in the league belongs to Hawks quarterback Scrub Kyubee. Not only does it score points in the originality department, considering I didn't realize it was pronounced QB until the mid-point of Season 2, it's a winner in creativity too. Coming in a very close second is Calkewlated Chambers. Until last week, I was pronouncing the name as "Cakewalked" in my head. Yes, I understand that doesn't make any sense, but that's how it is sometimes.
While not particularly clever, Mark Ramrio is a top-5 names in terms of mouth feel. Just say it to yourself, Ramrio, a transcendental experience. Andreas Waiters is another name that just sounds nice. And, without revealing too much, it has a fairly entertaining backstory to boot. But one name stands above them all, a true moniker among mere nicknames. Donovan Maric, Linebacker, from THE University of Maryland. On its own, Donovan would be a top-5 name in the league. But, it's not only the name that makes Maric special, it's the name-state combination. You see, defensive players named Donovan who come from Maryland are scientifically proven to be a different breed of person. They are both different animals and the same beasts. Wordcount: 203 P.S. What on earth is this PT

One name that has always stood out to me is that of the Sabercats star cornerback, John Canton. Pretty basic, I'm sure many of you are thinking, but to me this name seems so much more. Canton, as you may or not be aware, is the city that houses the NFL Hall of Fame. Now, to share a name with the place that holds the Hall of Fame, that just screams fate, doesn't it? The name aside from its shared city is fairly basic, but basic names are often the ones that action hero's have, so that's not too bad of a thing.
The other name I always remember is Break Bottles, another member of the Sabercats; they must enjoy drafting people with unique names. Break Bottles, based on the player Blake Bortles, is just such a clever, albeit cheesy, play on the original name. Bortles is such a dumpster fire that I think the name Break Bottles would actually be more fitting at this point. It's one of those names where if you saw him out on the field or heard his name announced, you'd probably either expect someone super cool or someone super goofy, no where in between. Code: 200 Words
For me it's gotta be Iyah Blewitt. I'm not too familiar with all the names on the site but fuck me if this isn't one of the best. I don't know what gets me so much about this name to be honest but I just love saying out loud, sounds like some jets fan complaining after a missed kick "ah ya blew it" or something like that man it's really a great name. Another name I've seen around is Storm Blessed. Like who the fuck names their kid storm, and second of all no one has ever had the last name blessed. And to top it all off, it's not like a clever combination or something like Mike Hunt or something its like what does stormblessed even mean man. It's a solid name but I would expect much more if you're going for something clever. Last but not least, is Calkewlated Chambers the III, it's such a fuckery of letters put together to spell calculated in some weird way, but it's beautiful and I love it. Like I said, probably a lot of great names out there but I can't think of any as a new member.
Clifford Rove is a name that throws me off every time I see it. I’m not used to seeing Clifford as a name for humans, as it has mostly been associated with 1 giant red dog for me. Saying Clifford, and not talking about the popular giant dog marketed towards the younger generation is a think that has been hard to grasp for me. It would be like if someone was named Sonic McGee, I would keep thinking about a blue hedgehog who can roll around at the speed of sound, and then an evil doctor who turns animals into robots for some reason that I was never quite sure of. I don’t know what Clifford’s parents were thinking when they named him that, and I really wonder how people can associate the name with anything that isn’t a dog with a color that isn’t natural. Clifford is a name I would never think to name my child after a popular animal, as it would be hard to disconnect the two, and thinking my son is a big red dog certainly doesn’t make any sense. Whenever I hear Clifford’s name I expect a large dog under center, and every time I get a little disappointed after it doesn’t happen, even when I imagine Clifford the big red dog and not Clifford the human.

Weird names, who has a weird name? Obviously @cosbornballboy! What does that name even mean? Let's try and find out by breaking this shit down! Just like I break down Jayce Tuck's technique and will in our face-offs.
So the first word Cos, what is it? Well it's the start so it must be the root of some word. If we go to the dictionary we find that it is named after the aegean island of cos and is another term for Romaine. Romaine is a lettuce of a variety with crisp narrow leaves that form a tall head. This is actually an appropriate description of the man in question so let's stick with it. The second word, Born. Hmmm well obviously it is simply a way to describe one existing as a result of birth. Now, @cosbornballboy is assumed to be a human, but I'm not sure if that's the whole story. Born is also derived from the old english, Beran, to bear. I believe he bears a lot of weight on those narrow leafy shoulders, and thus is appropriate. The final word is ballboy, a conjunction. Now a ballboy is the tiny kid on the sidelines of football games who holds on to the ball for the real men playing on the field. Tiny kid, on the sidelines, where have we heard that before? Oh right the last two paragraphs. I think we've solved it, cosbornballboy is a narrow, leafy green, bearing a lot of weight on his shoulders holding larger, superior men's balls. That is in essence @cosbornballboy |
