The Brett Ebert game

[Sandola]

Funny little article in the Age today mentioned Brett Ebert (it was about his nickname "Megahead", for some reason). It said he's the only player in the AFL whose name is made up of only four different letters.

Can you think of any other player whose name is made up of only four or fewer different letters?

If not, whose name has the fewest number of different letters after SOG's?

 

[Natman]

If you change the letters around you get Brett Breet.

 

[Sandola]

If you change the letters around you get Brett Breet.

Or Bert Better!

Oh well.

Beau Waters.

Girlf's parents bought a new puppy and named it Beau - I remarked it was a shit name cause it was 75% vowels.

PS - Wait on. Entire name? I have pwned myself. But still...

That's probably why Shakespeare picked Iago for, well, Iago.

Yeh, you have. But hey. Probably the dumbest thread of the year, when you think about it.

Shakespeare named a character in Othello after his dog

 

[Arsene Wenger]

Crikeys - are you ppl serious ?

 

[Sandola]

It's way beyond serious at this point.

What an odd thread! It's almost like a 10 year old started it Sandy.

As an aside, I now work for NAB, which is also my initials. Strange but true.


Hey this IS TWZ.

Not boring enough to work out who has the most letters.
