Funniest Names in the AFL

[wally funk]

Those old enough would remember the Bomber...Willie Dick

that one's pretty unbeatable. although if i had that name, i'd rather go by wiliam or bill or something

 

[Tambu]

Beau Waters.

 

[Ari]

it was Adam Iacobucci

Is who I was going to mention too. What a weird last name, but cool!

 

[Longy413]

Essendon have had some "different" first names the last couple of years -
Dustin
Kepler
Henry
Angus
Alwyn
Courtenay
Courtney
Bachar
Kyle
Jobe

and now Tayte, just to keep the theme going.


And Merv, Willie Dick has to take the cake.

 

[Windas_Magic]

I think that the Bombers picked up some funny and odd names at the national draft: Myers, Pears and Hooker.

 

[Ron The Bear]

Henry Playfair
Justin Koschitzke

A few from the past. All played VFL footy:

Algy Millhouse (Me, St)
Andy Demetriou (Sy, yep another one!)
Arthur C.ock (St)
Audley Gillespie-Jones (Me, Fi)
Bismarck Kulpa (St)
Charlie Challenger (Es)
Conrad Ten Brink (Es)
Dave Dick (St, Es, WB)
Dick Bliss (Sy)
Dick Wicks (St)
Donald McDonald (Ka)
Ewen Bumpstead (Ge)
Flurence Moore (Es)
Frank Crapper (Ka)
Harry Horsenail (St)
Marcus Glasscock (Me)
Milan Faletic (St, will never forget Ian Cleland's cry of "Pathetic Faletic!" from the early 80s)
Park Krygger (WB)
Reefton Spicer (Ri)
Rochford Devenish-Meares (Ha)
Terry Gay (Ha)
Tony Spassopoulos (Fi)
Trojan Darveniza (St)
Wally O'C.ock (Ca)
Wilfred Smallhorn (Fi)

Seems to have been a move towards unconventional first names over the past decade or so.

 

[Giants FC]

Danny Dickfos.

 

[Silvagnis]

Graham Johncock always gets a laugh out of me & my friends!
I also like Matthew Luenberger (can't even spell it) don't know why, it just cracks me up!! & Ben Fixter & Cheynee Stiller for some reason.....

Because you're 13?

mathew bate

nickname master

I was praying for Masten to be drafted by the Demons so he could play on the ball with Bate.

Rex would have lost the plot even more than usual.

 

[Hawks 08]

Jarryd Roughead

 

[MagpieGirl_13]

Because you're 13?

The fact is, Im not 13
The name just makes me laugh

 

[bradrowe#32]

Lachlan.

 

[Cuzz09]

Beau Waters.

Beau Waters?? explain how??

 

[Margim]

Always thought Winderlich was a ripper. Imagine him doing adds for KFC -

"Its winderlichen (finger lick'n) good!"

 

[SS_Fury]

Beau Waters.

how is that funny? As his sponser, lemme tell you that Beau Waters is not associated with jokes, just hip & shoulders

 

[Tambu]

Beau Waters?? explain how??

I just think it's a funny name. Is that ok?

 

[Johnson#26]

The Fixter, sounds like something out of a Batman movie - Cometti, 2002, Sydney v WB @ the SCG, round eight or so. Sunday afternoon.

Brad Debrowski (sp?) from Port's rookie list, circa 1998-1999.

 

[RooGeneration12]

Andrew "Spitta" Swallow

 

[Willow_2000]

Adam Iacobucci, what a great name!

 

[Port_GW]

Anyone remember I think Port drafted a dude called Brawn Bush a few years back? Dunno what he looked like but i'd be disappointed if he didn't look like an ogre.

I doubt there was ever such a player, certainly cant recall Port drafting anyone by that name.

 

[Isandula]

I just think it's a funny name. Is that ok?

Actually it is rather funny when you think about it.

I agree with Johncock and Roughead as a couple fo the funny ones around today.

 

[Midas Touch]

Setanta O'Hailpin

 

[sabby]

Pettigrew's nickname is File...

 

[ImperialPurple]

Beau Waters?? explain how??

Sounds like a housing estate with a man-made lake in it, right on the outskirts of the metro area...



Not footy, but I used to live in Singapore and a few names we came across that gave us a laugh:

Lo Hung Kok

Chu Long Kok

Kok Chin

Shi Ting


And a shop we used to drive past called "Fook Mee".



I kid you not.

 

[Warwick]

If you are named Cheynee Stiller you really have only one open career path - pr0n.

 

[Hollow Knight]

If you are named Cheynee Stiller you really have only one open career path - pr0n.

Or racking up fistfulls of disposals and inside 50s.
