    You have to wonder what his ancestors got up to to acquire that surname. Much like anyone with the surname Dickinson.

    There's Hancock as well.

    As an aside, I've always thought that Ban ki Moon is an ace name

    It says on the article it's Tokyo rather than Toyko, surely if your surname is sexwale you don't name your kid after the biggest city in one of the few countries that still goes whaling?

    My personal favourite footballers names are Danny Invincible (used to play for Swindon) and York used to have a player called Emmanuel Panther. Awesome.

    The most apt name for a footballer has to be the Yeovil Town Midfielder........Ed Upson.

    My favourite is Roger Johnson

    bit plain but Johnson is another word for penis and Roger is what you do with it.

    I always think that about people with the surname Davis, who call their son David :emoticon-0112-wonde

    There's a few foreign onces that sound funny in English. There's a guy called Ponce who plays for Chile, a Ricardo Faty and some poor bloke whose surname is Fanni. Also Dan ****tu should not be overlooked.

    Feyenoord used to have a player called Brian Pinas (pronounced penis).

    At the opposite end of the spectrum, I like how we've gone from having Brazilians called things like Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Romario, and Bebeto to having Fred, Jo, Ralf and Oscar

    As you've mentioned ****tu, QPR also had Doudou at around the same time.

    There's the Portuguese keeper Quim.

    Several Latino players called Arce, at one World Cup where the press were looking for funny names one got paired up with Fatiri.

    Stefan Kuntz.

    Better than the ex-Swansea and Franchise 'keeper Willy Gueret (pronounced Will 'e Gerr-it), or the ex Celtic midfielder Raphael Scheidt (who apparently was not very good)?
