Not trying to turn this into a silly name thread but reading this has sparked a memory. Several years ago (double digits) Letterman had an ongoing back and forth with a guy from Manitoba (I think) called Dick Assman. It was pretty funny Lettermanesque stuff.

Dick was (maybe still is) an owner of a Petro-Can gas station in Regina. I lived in Regina at the time and the guy got a really long 15 minutes thanks to a mispronunciation of his name. (I believe it's pronounced "Ausman" or similar)

Many moons ago, the Ottawa Rough Riders had a player (db iirc) named Wonderful Monds.
edit: Googled him and found out his name was actually Wonderful Terrific Monds and has a son with the same name....which was also his fathers name.
Wonderful Terrific Monds III

Washington State QB = Samoa Samoa

NBA Player = World B. Free

Brazil Soccer = Socrates
Sócrates Brasileiro Sampaio de Souza Vieira de Oliveira (born February 19, 1954), more commonly known simply as Sócrates, is a former Brazilianfootball player. He was an excellent assister and team organizer, with great vision of the field. He was also a two-footed player and a great goal scorer. His ability to read the game was highly valued, and his signature move was the blind heel pass.
