Awful NBA first names

[Xabit]

Post bad NBA first names

[Samurai Swoosh]

LeBron comes to miind, makes no sense and sounds like he's from the hood.
No, it sounds like he's from France ... which makes even less sense.

But that's a ghetto thing, bro ... black women in the inner city are always coming up with some whacky attempt at a unique name to make their baby stand out.

:oldlol:

[DRose1899]

Tbh Kobe is even worse.

[Sheed]

Dwyane, because no one spells it like that but him

[kaiiu]

Lebron. Whoever has that name most likely has a ugly ass face

[Samurai Swoosh]

Tbh Kobe is even worse.
Named after a piece of beef.

:facepalm

haha

[CelticBaller]

Kobe
LeBron

[ChandlerParsons]

LeBron comes to miind, makes no sense and sounds like he's from the hood.

Kobe?

[QuebecBaller]

Oleksiy

Antawn

His name was accidentally printed as "Antawn" instead of "Antwan" on his birth certificate. However, his family decided to keep the misspelling as they felt it would be more distinctive.[11] His first name is still pronounced as though it were spelled "Antwan" or "Antoine"

[ihatetimthomas]

Didier
Tracy
Sebastian
Predrag
Hidayet
Wang

[Samurai Swoosh]

When u think about it... maybe it actually works ? I mean they do stand out.
It works, doesn't make it any less foolish.

LeQueesha, Shaunte, Domonique ... jesus christ we could go on all day with stupid ghetto names.

Those guys stand out because of their game, though FYI

[tomtucker]

Best NBA first name : Carmelo........sounds like a nice guy

1. You didn't even spell it right it's Dominique
2. I don't understand how a name of french origin is a "stupid ghetto name", but whatever you say.

[Samurai Swoosh]

1. You didn't even spell it right it's Dominique
Excuse me ... normally Dwayne is spelled as such ... not "Dwyane", so I'm sure somewhere there is a mother who spells it Domonique.


2. I don't understand how a name of french origin is a "stupid ghetto name", but whatever you say.
Because they aren't from France, or of French descent now are they?

They were born and raised in a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio.

:oldlol:

It's not in the NBA, but a guy in the Jordan Brand Classic was named Sir'Dominic Pointer.. :wtf:

:oldlol:

This is about NBA names and not one Dominique who played in the league spelled it the way you just did. Secondly, just because they aren't of french descent doesn't mean they can't have liked the name. Calling Dominique ghetto is just ignorant and frankly idiotic.

[Samurai Swoosh]

You assumed I was mentioning Wilkins. I was talking about stupid attempts at ultra unique names.

Ghetto, aka stupid.

[QuebecBaller]

What's the problem with Dominique?

It's a really common name for a girl or a guy in Quebec and France

Kobe Dwyane and Lebron all roll off the tounge really well. I would say they are the best names in the NBA.

Carmelo i don't like as much. Rajon also sucks.

[BarberSchool]

i got another one for you:
TRAJAN- as if mom got fukking drunk, then had the idea that "tarzan" was a good name but was already too wasted to spell it right.I assumed it was an altered Trojan (condom and/or Greek Horse manuever), mixed with Tre/Tray.

JRUE

[Samurai Swoosh]

Stephon ... thats a few letters away from Stephanie

It's painfully obvious why the topic is solely first names. :lol Rudy Gay

[Teanett]

I assumed it was an altered Trojan (condom and/or Greek Horse manuever), mixed with Tre/Tray.

i think he was a roman or greek emperor, but nobody knows him. he was not very significant. should've called him hercules or herodes.

[ihatetimthomas]

Taj
Theophilus (Theo Ratliff)

Taj
Theophilus (Theo Ratliff)

How in the world is Jahidi a Saudi name? I've never heard of that word ever, and it doesn't even make sense in Arabic...Sorry, maybe Jahidi is too phonetically close to Yehoudi :roll:

Maybe Jahidi/Jaheedi/Jahadi is another Khaleeji surname, from Oman ? I know I've seen the surname before, but you would obviously know Saudi names better if you are a Saudi living in KSA. I'm just part Turk basing it off people I met years ago.

Apparently everybody should be named either John, Casey, Ethan, or Alec to appear normal.

Kobe named from a piece of beef.

although the beef is named from where it comes from, kobe japan, which got its name from the group of people who attended a specific shinto shrine.

but i have heard they took it directly from the beef. so i doubt they care about its etymology.

lebron- sounds french, so it's "the bron". wtf is a "bron"
LeBron >> Le Brun which means "the brown" but nobody is called like that in France.

The French version of it would just be Bruno.



lamar- sounds french, but why would you call your son "march" when he was born in november?Lamar >> La mer which means "the sea" and not the month of march.

The only French name based on the month of march (or Mars the roman god of war) is Martin/Martine.
