      Always liked Primo Carnera and Max Baer and Joe Jeanette.
      Max Baer is definitely a good name

        Roberto Duran, Salvador Sanchez, Diego Corrales and most of all Hector Camacho are some pretty awesome Hispanic names.

            Cornelius Boza-Edwards is certainly a unique name in boxing. You don’t forget that name easily after hearing for the first time.

                      Is the first name possibly an English translation of a Nigerian name?

                      I had two Nigerians students, brothers, named God's Power Offer and God's Power _______ (Sorry I can't remember the younger brother's full name.)

                      The older brother, God's Power Offer, got a free ride to Wake Forrest (football) and eventually graduated Howard Law.

                      Bright kid.

                      Amazingly GP (that's what we called him) had his name appear as a Jeopardy question with the answer being Wake Forrest.
