Dickensian Names and Athletes

Dad, you mentioned in your last post Peter Dinklage, and how cool and "Dickensian" his name was, and it reminded me about an idea I had that I posted about a while ago, likely when I was laid up on the couch with the busted leg.

There were some athletes from different sports that had what I felt were "classic" names, but Dickensian is a better term for these players. I'll list them here, again, so maybe we can add to the list as we go forward with our lives.

I was reminded that I wanted to do this just a second ago upon hearing that the 49ers just traded for Colt McCoy.

Colt McCoy was the QB of the UT Longhorns before being drafted by the Browns, not playing like a pro-bowler, then getting rocked, and now being slated to compete for a backup job behind Kaepernick. But, "Colt McCoy" is about as quintessential a Texan QB name anyone could fabricate, let alone believe was real.

Usain Bolt. If you wanted to make up a name for the fastest man on Earth, who is also Jamaican, could you come up with something better than freaking Usain Bolt?

Hope Solo. How about a foxy goalie, all alone, trying to stop the attacking enemy?

I also kinda like Mark Trumbo, as a thumping old-school baseball player. Maybe?

Outside of sports, besides Dinklage, maybe Wolf Blitzer?
