 | TMVL Player Names Needed Posted by |
If you have some suggestions for new player names please post them here. I'm getting closer to having time for end of season processing and this is a step that takes a bit of my time.
I will not guarantee that I will use all of your suggestions, but if you have some (like with a theme from a movie or TV show) please post here.
If we've talked about names, you can assume I've forgotten (I think Steve sent some ideas which I will try to add this or next season) and add them again here.
Thank you!
PS: Please vote in the "John name poll" as I think that will yield 2 player names...1 for John's walkon if he has one and I am once again (sigh) adding one of John's playernames to the new recruits.

I didn't send any names as such - I just suggested Augie players from the current season.
I am usually a rather lazy guy. When playing "real" teams, I just go for the historic rosters - no need for the 15th Messi guy.
So I wanted to check Starkville's MSU volleyball roster - only to see that there was none. What a travesty!
OTOH, when I play fictitous teams, I usually go for some themed patterns.
Doomstadt's near invincible GK e.g. was Crusher Creel, the Absorbing Man. He would probably be even more fitting for a Libero,
Analogously, Clint Barton or Benjamin Poindexter would be solid OH's.
Name ideas:
Discworld (Pratchett series): Sam Vimes, Havelock Vetinari, Bill Door, Cut Dibbler, Fred Colon, Cohen Barbarian, Jason Ogg, Mustrum Ridcully.
Alien movies:
Arthur Dallas, Samuel Brett, Gilbert Kane, Dennis Parker, Dwayne Hicks, Scott Gorman, William Hudson, Weyland Bishop, Ron Johner, and some combo names because they didn't give them first names and most died fast: Apone Crowe, Drake Vasquez, Ferro Frost.
John Wayne roles: Reuben Cogburn, Lon McQ, Honda Lane, Chance Buckman, Duke Slade, Robert Hightower, Quirt Evans, Jacob McCandles, JD Cahill, John Chisum, Wedge Donovan, Kirby Yorke, John Stryker, Nathan Brittles, Jake Cutter, Ethan Edwards, John Elder.
Golden Age British Detective fiction: Roderick Alleyn, Albert Campion, Tommy Beresford, Reg Wexford, Peter Wimsey, Alan Grant,
Pride and Prejudice : Charles Bingley, George Wickham, Fitzwilliam Darcy, William Collins, Edward Gardiner

Damn, missed this. I was gonna choose Costas Xiourroupa from Championship Manager fame...as well as possibly To Madeira 😊
Thanks to each of you who responded with ideas. I tried to use some of them.
Steve: I did not use the Augie names you had. I'll tell you more on why soon.
Also, "I'm just sick" that CB wasn't able to get his suggestions sent in time. I "look forward" to his ideas next season.
if you're ever low on names, the Key & Peele East-West College Bowl is chock full of them!
