Achieving first name status

[ashep]

Ted!

 

[JUBJUB]

Who else? Bud? Or is that a nickname?

You're a Swans fan yet you aren't sure if Buddy is a nickname

 

[JUBJUB]

Jimmy

What he said ^

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Dermie

 

[clivenator26]

Kepler.

On the flip side some guys in commentary or on panel shows always have both their names said, Eddie Betts & Allir Allir are two that spring to mind.

 

[Richoman Tigers]

Dusty and Jack are probably the closest at Richmond. Maybe Ivan

Notably 3 incredibly distinctive names. Which isn't even always the case....what about Zidane? Pele? Messi? I suppose they are worse than Zlatan?

You know Zidane and Messi are surnames, right?

Yes. The OP was specifically about first names.

 

[ferrisb]

Our number one player ever is universally known as 'John'

Well, he did used to live just off Grey Street in St Kilda...

Two surnames, one nickname.

"Joel" doesn't mean anything else in Geelong. Jimmy and Paddy too, although they're kind of nicknames.

Heard it means sook

 

[Nostradumbass]

I don't know why it bothers me but umpires calling players by their first name shits me.

 

[Engimal v2]

Majak
Cyril
Jobe

To a lesser extent:
Drew (Petrie)
Dustin (Martin)

 

[Hoooops]

Heard it means sook

Heard you're the kind of person who believes main board sensationalist bullshit.

 

[Percel]

STEVE

 

[Falchoon]

St Nick

 

[Shane Hird]

Back in ancient times at Windy Hill in the 80s, we had a bunch of stars who were mostly called by their first names by supporters.

Terry (Daniher)
Timmy (Watson)
Simon (Madden)
Merv (Neagle)
Roger (Merrett)
Ronnie (Andrews)

Every team and their fans are different though. Depends what catches on. These days it's imbecile commentators who seem to lead the way with who's called what..

I think that's what Nick means
