Okay, I know I'm not the only person that was in awe of some of the names that came out of this weekend's NFL Draft. When D'Brickashaw Ferguson was drafted by the NY Jets in 2006, I was like, "Wow! That's creative den a mug" (Ebonics had to kick in with that one LOL). But it seems as though every year, there are a new group of names that are .....well... you know.... "different". The type of name that makes your spell check go crazy when you type it in.
This is dedicated to all of the draft picks selected in this weekend's draft with those special names that only a mama could love. And in case any of their REAL mama's come across my blog, don't be mad... it's just COMEDY! It's all in fun!

Knowshon Moreno- RB, Georgia
Someone must've known he was gonna be hard headed before birth.. He already has "no" in his name, so it made the answer that much easier to give.. Saying "Yes Knowshon" sounds like an oxymoron...

Peria Jerry- DT, Ole Miss
I honestly thought they said "Perrier", as in the bottled water. Still, having a name close to bottle water must suck. That's like being named Avian.

Sen'Derrick Marks- DT, Auburn
This is a combo name, for sure. The mother's name and the father's name combined. Why else would his name be Sen'Derrick???

Lardarius Webb- CB, Nicholls St
See? How come his name couldn't be JUST "Darius"? Folks always gotta make it their own.
Kaluka Maiava- OLB, USC
Say what?!
Sammie Lee Hill- DT, Stillman
Nothing "eclectic" about it, but I won't lie, I laughed cause this is a Hatfield-McCoy type name.. real old school
Fenuki Tupou- OT, Oregon
What he said his name is..... *shrugs*
Jamon Meredith- OT, South Carolina
So Damon wasn't good enough, huh???
Bear Pascoe- TE, Fresno State
Please tell me this is a nick name?? If someone named their child Bear... I'ma fight 'em!
Stryker Sulak- DE, Missouri
He sounds like he should be in movies, not playing football
Ra'Shon Harris- DT, Oregon
Meet Knowshon's play cousin
Captain Munnerlyn- CB, S. Carolina
Man....... SOOO many jokes can go with his first name...
Tiquan Underwood- WR, Rutgers
Is that a brand of Tequila??
Jamarca Sanford- S, Ole Miss
Just when you thought the name "JaMarcus" was once in a lifetime!
Taufui Vakapuna- RB, BYU
Oh......okay!
Remember folks.. your child could be an NFL star one day... This could be YOUR child I'm poking fun of.
Congrats to all of the Draft picks mentioned... and good luck on your respected teams!

Now that is research! LOL Every year there are always names that just jump out at you in the draft. You've seemed to find them all...
mindpinball, there were more, I could have gone all day LOL. Some folks have weird last names also. But I went with the overall name, their folks got real creative, didn't they!
Yes. You know how mommas like to give their children these names to make them "unique." LOL
OMG...I'm trying to eat and I almost spit out my food from laughing. UGH @ combining mommy and daddy's name. CORNY AND STUPID.
But I feel better knowing that we *rubbing the back of my hand* aren't the only "creative" (I say that lightly) folks naming our chirren.
Great post.
What were some of these 'mamies' thinking? But I guess these are not worse that Gwyneth Paltrow naming her daughter, Apple. *faints*
Note to mamies: Do not give your child a name that will cause a person in HR to discard your kid resume!!!! Not all kids will be in the NFL, where the names don't really matter.
