Manny L'Adorable Harris
Most of us seasoned Mgobloggers know Manny's real first name, Corperryale, but who knew that is middle name is actually L'Adorable? No joke.
On second thought I feel like this is too good to have gone unnoticed. I must have missed a thread or something.
Anyway, Link?

Corperryale L'Adorable Harris. That name raises some questions. In particular: Great name or Greatest name ever? I'll let you decide.

I can't possibly answer that without knowing Barkevious Mingo's middle name.

"I'm so ahead of my time, my parents haven't met yet"
I met a guys this summer from Hawaii whose name is "Junior Boy Macadangdang". One of the best names I've ever had the privilege of meeting in person. I asked if he was related to Iris Macadangdang and he was pretty sure that he wasn't.
He also has a brother named Hughtavious.(!)

Did his parents/parent even consider that this kid might need to get a job someday? Or did they assume he'd be in the NBA?
I'm not sure refusing someone a job on the basis of their name is legal.

Actually, there is no law that makes it illegal to refuse employment on the basis of someone's name (as opposed to someone's race). Regardless, if someone has a stack of 100 resumes for a sales position, I'm betting that Corperryale L'Adorable does not go to the top of the stack.
P.S. Get off of my lawn.
This thread has officially ceased being a basketball thread and become a Freakonomics thread. For those who don't know, they have an interesting chapter on names, chances for success, and what names are the most popular for various economic demographics.
It pretty much verifies what most of us already know: if two resumes are identical, but one says "Connor" and the other says "Barkavious," Connor will probably get the interview.

That was very interesting. Somehow I think that having your name misspelled originally would suck pretty bad.
Perry L. Harris or it could just say "Fresh"
Not only illegal, but also a poor business decision.

I dont know the middle name of this girl but for comedy purposes, Texas has a volleyball player by the name of Destiny Hooker. Some parents must just have a sick sense of humor.

and an opposing female player was named Danielle Skank.
Shavodrick Beaver...I wonder what his middle name is.

One of my favorite UM related ridiculous names is a legend in the IM department, whose name/picture is posted all over the IMSB, Dick Pitcher.

I read his high school name as his actual name. I couldn't believe his last name was Agricultural.

There's no UM connection, but my all-time favorite NASCAR name is Dick Trickle.
I can't believe that people have already forgotten about Ndamukong "House of Spears" Suh.
How sick would it have been if he went to Florida State? He'd automatically be my favorite non-UM player of all time.
