What other strongmen have great strongman names? Derek Poundstone and Chris Canada have great names for the sport... any others?

I can just hear Barry White saying it. Very sexy indeed.

If my sister had a son her husband wanted to name him Baron Von Crouse. I think I was about the only one in the family who liked that. They have two daughters.

I particularly like my son's name (since I picked it), Troy Stiefel. Troy means "foot soldier" in Gaelic and Stiefel is German for "boot."

Poundstone is a pretty cool last name.

My old roomate was Damien Steele.

This name actually belongs to a woman (technically not 'manly), but it's pretty bad ass anyway.... Moon Bloodgood (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_Bloodgood).

Shat is a regional past tense of a word just one vowel different, so it basically is as bad as as shart.

By the way to those who mentioned Flex Wheeler, its a nickname. His name is Ken.

Not exactly something you couldn't live without. I only know it because I read CUJO as a kid and Stephen King used it. It's one of those archaic words that are rarely used.

Heard some girls talking about number of children they want at college. 3-4 Was pretty common. I said they'd soon be talking about names they had for these 'imaginary' children. Then I got asked if I had any names for sons.

And I thought two up quickly.....

Samson and Malachi Macfarlane.

They'll probably get teased for those names though. :P

Kevin Klavetter
