    Best & Worst Hibs Player Names

    As to not derail the transfer thread again, I thought for a laugh it would be interesting to start this as a thread.

    Who, in your opinion, have been the best and worst current/former Hibs player names?

    Could be the most 'interesting' names, or 'boring' names, or just whatever justification your is.

    I'll start with a couple suggestions:

    Dominique Malonga - superb

    Gary Smith - apologies Gary, just a pretty boring name

    Hakim Sar-Temsoury.

    Great name. Played 3 games and looked like an Alli Dia type in every one.

    I always quite enjoyed the slight alliteration of Jonatan Johansson. The player, not so much

    Mark Brown is in the Gary Smith league of boring names. Bordering on sacrilege but David Gray probably qualifies as well.

    James Scott was always going to be ***** off the name alone. No sense of the exotic or potential for puns whatsoever.

    Big Dave was always an absolute belter. Shame it didn't work out for him.

    Graeme Smith, Tom Smith, Stuart Lovell, Alan Sneddon all boring.

    Joe Tortolano is the best, cannot be beaten.

    Funny how we all love foreign names...but they are probably pretty boring in their own country.

    I always remember thinking that Stefan Schwarz was a great name when he signed for Arsenal...but if you translate it......it just turns into boring old "Steve Black"

    A player from late 40s/50's

    Angus Plumb. A centre forward who could execute the perfect pass.

    It is said that some of his passes along the deck were always in a straight line and perfectly measured.

    Merouane Zemmama - just knew he was going to be class in a glass when he signed with a name like that. The controversial circumstances of he and Benji leaving Raja Casablanca only added to the excitement!

    Forgot about the Benji shenanigans.....did he not sign for Raja while still with us and without us knowing?
