And here we thought that Joey Freshwater was too implausible to be an alias.

I've been putting together a list of people named after places. Mike England Jade Melbourne Bostons - Aaliyah, Brandon, Billy, David, Daryl, Tre Londons - Adam, Lacale, London Fletcher, London Parrantes Pamela, Paul Yorks -Andy, Cade, Cameron, Chris, Colin, Michael, Mike, Teri, Tony, Jed Toledos - Natalia, Patricia, Rafeal, Robinson, Filipe Sydney Baldwin Rayne Dakota Prescott Washington - There are a ton of Washingtons so for brevity's sake I'm just going to list Ron Gustavo Victoria Martin St. Louis JP France Cleveland Bailey Phoenix Copley / Phoenix Sanders (Interesting fact, of the four people listed on Wikipedia with the name of Phoenix, two are athletes, two are victims of crime. Just don't name your kid Phoenix I guess). Pierre Gasly Mabel / Pete Fairbanks Brian / Bruno Lima Santiago Fernandez X 2 1985 / 1991 John Stockton Jesus Sucre (Pictured) Edit: Also John and Scott Maine who are not siblings as best as I can figure. Again please let me know what I'm missing. Edit: from RD Mangles: Dwayne Missouri Anderson Koopa fucked around with this message at 17:57 on Dec 3, 2023 |

back in the early 2000s, Northwestern had a defensive lineman named Dwayne Missouri who was sort of a fringe NFL player for a few years.

R.D. Mangles posted:back in the early 2000s, Northwestern had a defensive lineman named Dwayne Missouri who was sort of a fringe NFL player for a few years. I'll add him to the list. I did a cursory lookup of him to find out what he's up to. Sounds like his life has some ups and downs. From Wikipedia: "Missouri was featured in the first season of HBO's Hard Knocks series as a member of the Baltimore Ravens.[10] He is currently an assistant high school football coach at McCollum High School in San Antonio, Texas and working on his alternative certification to become a special education teacher.[11] On October 3, 2023 Missouri was arrested on animal cruelty charges.[12]".

Proper football players  Stephen Ireland - He made 6 appearances for the Republic of Ireland Jason Scotland - He made 41 appearances for Trinidad and Tobago Gary Wales - Represented Scotland at the U21 level Mike England - He made 44 appearances for Wales in the 60s and 70s Ryan France - Spent a chunk of his career with Alfreton Town at the semi-pro level before moving to Hull City, where he spent a lot of time in the second-tier Championship level. He enjoyed one season in the top flight with Hull City before transfering to Sheffield United for the 09/10 season on a free, back to the Championship. In rugby, there's Israel Dagg - He made 66 appearances for New Zealand, and was a key member of the 2011 Rugby World Cup winning team Leicester Ofa Ki Wales Twickenham Fainga'anuku - He made 7 appearances for New Zealand, including the 2023 Rugby World Cup final. Israel Folau - He made 5 appearances for Queensland and 8 appearances for the Australian men's international rugby league team, as well as 73 appearances for the Australian men's international rugby union team, in addition to 1 appearance for Tonga. Also a colossal homophobic shithead.

Anderson Koopa posted:Phoenix Copley Um excuse me it's Pheonix. Also I don't know if this counts, but German Rubtsov was a first-round pick from Russia for the Philadelphia Flyers. EDIT: I've now learned that there are a lot of people with the first or last name German, and Mr. Rubtsov is not even listed on Wikipedia's list of People With The Given Name "German". But German Glessner is: an Argentinian who visited Germany when he was 12 and fell in love with bobsledding, but it was too expensive so he switched to Skeleton and made the 2002 Olympics. Nice!

There were a bunch of Steve Smiths, including two wide receivers whose careers partially overlapped, the great one for the Panthers/Ravens, and the other who had a few good seasons for the Giants. I think there were two tight ends named Zach Miller at the same time too, along with multiple Alex Smith’s. There are currently two Josh Allen’s, one the QB for the Bills and the other a DE for the Jaguars, who IIRC sacked the QB in a game a year or two back.

For people who don’t watch NHL this means the two teams are in the same division and play each other three or four times a year outside of playoffs
