The name game, part 2

Back by unpopular demand, it's D-F of the NFL player name game (for letters A-C, click here)! After round one, I think I wasn't quite as surprised by the names I saw this time around, but there were (of course) some notable ones I would like to share with you:


  • Na'il Diggs, Carolina .. the apostrophe is so he doen't get called NAIL, 'cause that would just be stupid.
  • DeDe Dorsey, Cincinnati ... when he's asked his name, doesn't it come out like he has a stutter? D-d-dorsey?
  • Early Doucet, Arizona ... I guess he was unexpected?
  • Marques Douglas, Baltimore ... it's Marcus people!
  • Leger Douzable, NYG ... both names are funny, but together they're ridiculous.
  • Elvis Dumervil, Denver ... wonder if he ever met the guy below.
  • King Dunlap, Philadelphia ... wonder if he ever met the guy above.
  • Ebenezer Ekuban, Denver ... man, Christmas must've sucked when he was a kid.
  • Atiyyah Ellison, SF ... look, if atiyyah once, atiyyah a thousand times!
  • Ciatrick Fason, Jacksonville ... I can hear it now, "he was pushin' on my ciatrick nerve the entire pregnicee, so i'm callin' him Ciatrick!"
  • Yamon Figurs, Baltimore ... yeah mon, figures.
  • London Fletcher, Washington ... he has Grey Poupon delivered wherever he plays.
  • Marquis Floyd, Seattle ... all together now: IT'S MARCUS PEOPLE!
  • Devard Darling, KC; Dowayne Davis, KC; Dovonte Edwards, Detroit; Dwan Edwards, Baltimore; Devale Ellis, Detroit; D'Brickshaw Ferguson, NYJ ... DeShaun Foster, SF ... ohhhhh, I get it. Add a D or a De or a Do to any word, name, or group of random letters and it's brand spanking new! Just call me D'Joanne.
  • Jermichael Finley, GB ... his parents didn't want him to sound too Irish, so they added the "jer" (unfortunately the were unaware of the "d, de, do" rule which may have helped him fit in better in school).
  • Keyaron Fox, Pittsburgh ... "my wayward son, there'll be peace when you are done ..."
  • Bubba Franks, NYJ ... okay, finally a name I can relate to.

And the runners-up this time were: Renardo, Aubrayo, Wilrey, Drayton, Kalimba, Tala, Trai, Jahri, Brayton, Warrick, Keyunta, Kellen, Wale, Chartric, Najeh. All, well, interesting names to say the least.
