    There is a rodeo cowboy whose first name is J2 (actual spelling, actual name).

    That's all I've got on this topic

    Last 1980s or early 1990s there was a basketball player in Central Texas named Carnivorus Dews.
    All these years later and I still remember that one, especially since he was a big beefy player.

    Covered a high school baseball player named Dylan Dedeaux, which isn't all that unusual except that all his teammates called him Dylan "Dildo."

    The team's PA guy (another player's father) later told me, "My greatest achievement was making it through the kid's entire career without calling him 'Dylan Dildo' over the mic."

    If the parents had named her Anita, I think that would have been grounds for child abuse.
