What's in a name?

How is it some of the biggest stars in sports have some of the most unique, interesting and obscure names?

Gretzky, Orr, Crosby, Bossy, Howe, Tavares, Stamkos, Pronger, Bosh, Lebron, Kobe, Bird, Carmelo, Favre, Montana, Nameth, Unitas, Jeter, Fantuz, Nolan Ryan, Cassius Clay, Lew Alcindor, Mantle, DiMaggio, Yzerman, Nicklaus, Sarazen, Player, Sampras, Agassi, Barkley etc.

Not your everyday names. Not your every people. Not even your everyday celebrities. Perhaps labelled for greatness?

Then again, there's always Tom Brady. Michael Jordan. Roger Clemens. Ryan Howard. George Brett. Jerry Rice. Bill Russell.

Should I be working right now? Yeah, I guess? Wait! This is work.
