Paul ‘Unga, Arizona State – I tried not to poke fun at Hawaiian or Samoan names that are littered with extra punctuations and the like, but I couldn’t ignore these two. With the apostrophe at the beginning of his last name, I ask, what is Unga short for?

 

Daniel Te’o-Nesheim, Washington

 

J Leman, Illinois

 

Xxavier Carter, Stanford – If he just had one more X, Carter would be the real life Ice Cube.

 

Xzavier Stewart, Kansas State – Phonetically, this makes perfect sense.

 

 

Quintessential Southern Stereotype Names 

 

Jim Bob Cooter, Tennessee

 

Joe Jon Finley, Oklahoma

 

John David Booty, USC

 

John David Weed, Baylor

 

Ray Ray McElrathbey, Clemson – This guy is actually a great person and takes care of his younger brother while going to school and playing Division I football. But his name is Ray Ray.
