Good thing she didn't marry Rip Torn. If I was invited to the Torn-Hyman wedding, I'd think someone was putting me on.

Milton Bradley - MLB

Former WHL player Robin Big Snake should be on the list.

Also, even though it isn't the same type of bad name, I've never liked Kris Chucko just because his name annoys me. I also hated Nigel Dawes based on his name until I realized he was half Jamaican, then I thought his name was awesome.

Harry Dick. Seriously. He even played for the Canuckleheads (WHL version).
http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/p....php?pid=13007


Mike Christie's middle name is Hunt, hence he is Mike Hunt Christie. He also played for the Canuckleheads ... I see a pattern forming here.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Christie_(ice_hockey)


On second thought, maybe these should go on the best names list.
