Speaking of which, there is an England rugby player called Austin Healey. I
didn't think anything of it until talking to someone at work about rugby, and
he said "yeah, what about that poor bastard named after a car..."
Still, it could have been worse - Alpha Sud, for example.
Actually, that reminds me, when I was in Seattle once I saw a stand-up comic
called Alpha Trivette, which I suspected (a) wasn't his real name and (b) was
the name of a vehicule. Didn't help his jokes none, though, they sucked big
time. Mike Dunga wasn't much better; the only one who was really funny was
Dean Oleson. Anyone heard of him?
