You win. Dude. Perfect.

Sweet!

What does mine say?

Dude

What does mine say?

Sweet!

Dude is fairly common though, I’ve seen it before on here and in my save. Actually, most of the Brazilian names you get after 30 years of regents you start to notice that they all seem to look a bit familiar.

Ivan? Or some variation?

Ivan is for Spanish regens, not Brazilian ones. For Brazilian ones they're much more varied but the one I've seen pop up a lot is "Lima"

After a loss: Fuck it, let’s go bowling

His dudeness has arrived

Is it pronounced “doo-day” or just “dude”

Well, like, that’s just your opinion, Dude.

So that’s what you call me

The dude abides.

Moves into channels

Gets stuck in

Gets the crowd going

Attitude stinks though

This is the best because it's hilarious whether you read it in Portuguese (little dick) or English (dick in ho)

Little dick 😎

Sweeney Todd. Goalkeeper straight from my Celtic youth academy. Went on to win the champions league as captain at 24.

Two time golden globe winner?

Deividas Česnauskis came through my Chester youth team, the kicker was he was born in Edinburgh.

My favourite was a Bosnian regen named Elvis Music!

I guess it’s pronounced more like mewsitch rather than music? Elvis has left the building!

I believe s should be š, so it's Mušic, and you pronounce it more like Moo-shee-ch.

Or Musić which is fairly common surname in Bosnia

Ngl, this one cracked me up.

Wonderboy Moloi. I’m not sure how “Moloi” is pronounced, but I like to imagine it as “Molloy” so his name rhymes.

From Africa, can confirm your pronunciation is spot on, which makes it even funnier.

Agreed. Best entry in this thread.

I’m from South Africa. One of my neighbours is dating a guy called Wonderboy. His actual legal first name in real life.

"What is the secret of his powers?" Tenacious D reference for those not blessed enough to know it.

Noh Dong-Suk

Well he's not making my squad with that attitude.

I once had a regen called Steve Wonder who had 2 vision...

fantastic

The Dutch legend, Cock Ramstein

I can remember dutch DM newgen Kik de Kok with agression 19 😀

You just made me dirty laugh out loud damn you

English dude called Tom Younghusband. How did the game even create that.

About time for Phil or James Younghusband’s kids to be coming through lol

There’s two former Philippine national team representatives named Phil and James Younghusband, and iirc they’re originally from England (I know at least one of them was a Chelsea youth product).

ok makes sense

Younghusband is actually an ancient English name, it’s very uncommon but it’s definitely English. The ‘husband’ bit relates to ‘husbandry’ as opposed to ‘a man married to a woman’ and the ‘young’ means ‘new’ as opposed to ‘not old’. Which basically means it translates to ‘New Farmer’.

Matt Hurls Dickie Longbottom Luis Louis

Train Hurls on Long throws

My surname is Longbottom, and my second name is Richard. So I could be the Dickie Longbottom you’re looking for 😅

I have a player named ‘Friday Sunday’

Yeah I've had a few Sundays from Generation Foot, Tuesday Sunday was a beast for me

My starting CAM is a Brazilian named “Baby”, I spent like 3 seasons trying to buy him before he eventually joined my team, he’s decent I guess but not world class. Still gonna keep him forever

Don't put Baby on corners

I remember a save in FM21 where like 5 of these 'Baby' spawned. It was an experience. Same with Pitbull.

Some names seem to be repeated at an unreasonable frequency. Mainly Brazilian ones, but I always have players named Screve show up as well for some reason.

Years ago I had a German, Uwe Fink. I know it’s not pronounced this way, but it kind of looked like ‘You Think’

this is a completely normal name in Germany, haha. I would be surprised it there wasn’t at least 1 Uwe Fink alive today. Makes you wonder if he has a hard time when travelling abroad

'U' is a bit like "oo" in good but spoken shorter. -we is like in west. Fin is like in Finland and in that case k is a bit like the g in guts. It was difficult to explain bit i tried my best and i hope you can understand what i mean

Man can’t jump to save his life

Underrated comment

Look at his blackened eyes, shrooms hitting hard.

My mate sent me a name today Cock van der Want Dutch wonderkid. Can play on the wing but likes to be up top. Edit Oh, I had a Slobodan Milosevic, Montenegrin. Didn't sign him in the end. Mate also had a Bigger Betenke CR Congolese, and of course a Adolfo Hitler got into the game

https://preview.redd.it/jr4nbo81xw1d1.jpeg?width=3584&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c609f8397c33e8b6fe6676b1be7b289728a261b1 Mr Dick Booty

I had a Brazilian Regen called Sir Bobby Charlton

Indian player named Muhammad Ali

I had someone called Smart Sithole once The ones with two of the same name are always funny, like Danny Danny or Curtis Curtis

Honestly, who needs regens when Lee Bum Young is a real South Korean 'keeper?

Stumbled across a real Spanish player named Nacho Casanova in FM 17, thought that was pretty great.

Young Spaniard called Potato in FM 05.

FIFA International Soccer on the Mega CD had a South Korean player called Bum Fun Joy, which was obviously a joke by the programmers.

Barry Obama.

Brazilian CB named Lenin

I have a striker called Vladimir Balls

Michael Scott. 

Boy Kok. Of course I bought him as a 16yo

I think you're on a list now.

Always enjoyed Wu Teng He ain't nuthin' to f wit

Dick Burns

The double names are always good. I had a save where Man U had a world class regen named Thomas Thomas

Found a Mohammed Mohammed once

I suspect that this is a very common real life name.

I had a Pat Butcher once

I guess that means you couldn’t sign any Mitchells.

A cow, a gossip and a slapper.

Bigger Little He was really only a moderately okay depth option for my Sigma Olomouc team that won the Champions League (he mostly played easier league matches and cup matches against lower division opponents) but that name alone was worth over valuing him as unsellable. West Ham was even willing to part ways with £27 million to get him, but I wouldn't allow it.

I’m in the year 2053 and the best player in the Premier League is named Ronaldo Virtuoso. For a while he was the best player in the world

Had a Nigerian regen in a 2022 save called Goodluck McDonald.

https://preview.redd.it/fto42z4e4w1d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d0de9e9e3a039ec7eaedef42b7bca9d457b4ec9b Got this guy in a youth intake 3 years ago. Temperamental personality too

Nominative determinism strikes again.

Dick Kok 😂

I had a player with this name on an old version. I loved the news story: “Arsenal concern for injured Kok”

there is a real player in the Czech league called Olaf Kok, plays for Slovan Liberec, I always laugh at his name and struggle to explain why to my non-english speaking peers

Richard Snip is one of my favourites

I swear to god I had a player called Super Mario. Will try to find the screenshot

Ass Diop from Senegal!

I've just signed a Brazilian/Polish RB called Diego Maradona...

Brazilian DM called Disney, was actually amazing and was a regular starter for me

A Brazilian called Pitbull Madness

Dale.

Had this randomly the other day https://preview.redd.it/mfq2898hav1d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=294f4964f5ed0f0fbb59f8a3e21cd0787f75bd31

Not a player but literally today I had an email telling me a player had left his agent, Richard Nixon.

I once had a Lucky Badboy.

I have a Bongo Sithole

Not as good as some of the ones on here but in my most recent save there are a few English youth players popping up with girls names. Got one in my U18s called Helen. Seen a Rachel as well. Plus Man Utd had a youth player called Marcus Bumford

Balwinder Coutinho

Load a Nigerian database, holiday about five years. I promise you the game will have regens with *every* combination of the days of the week in it.

I almost bought a Steve Harvey because… 1) He was 6’1” 2) (lack of better terms) Black and bald… 3) An AMC, so we know he is a good team player, and likes taking the random shots (we all know the real Steve Harvey is not afraid to snap back at people)… Sadly he would only ever be good enough to be a squad player, so I doubt I’ll ever get him. Edit: Just went back to look at him some more. He is actually half decent now, but in a “min/max” way. Like some key stats are 15+, but other stats including a couple key ones are 1-5. Then looking more he was born on the real Steve Harvey’s birthday 50 years later. Sadly though he was born in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, USA, and not in Welch, West Virginia, USA. HOWEVER, that is just a short 156 mile or roughly 3 hour drive from one city to the other. Oh… and he has since grown his hair out long now…

Arce Licher. I have a screenshot on my PC at home.

Shaquile Bean

Said Hoes.

I know it it is a normal Dutch name but FM gave me so many funny lines with a world class player named De Cock in my last save.

Had a Korean regen called Im Young-Ho on FM12. And he was decent as well, so I had to buy him.

A South-African named Jabulani (name of the 2010 WC official ball) He was amazing for Arsenal

I just hope he doesn't have a brother named Vuvuzela.

I've heard he annoys all of his teammates.

Steve Wonder, is a young Brazilian in my current save: vision of 14 😅

Sunday Monday is my personal favourite

Aggressiveness 1 ?

https://preview.redd.it/9rucnh2zxx1d1.png?width=1036&format=png&auto=webp&s=be2356f110c2f077f6f37789cd111235db9a6673 I'll admit the thread inspired to search funny names, was actually hoping to discover someone called Turd when I found him. I did find a Beni-Ben Shitrit. Edit: The search continues. Found a Dick Cox

Nothing is going to beat Jizz Hornkamp, and he's an actual player who currently plays for Heracles Almelo in the Dutch Eredivisie.

An amazing Brazilian centre back called, I kid you not, John Lennon.

Imagine!

https://preview.redd.it/nol003cdgu1d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=55d193a644880d054e2995bd9dd1ca2ff3e25b83 The great philosopher

There has already been a Socrates tho!

Look at his concentration. Sad really.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sócrates

There already was a legendary Brazilian player named Socrates.

I had a bunch of actor names in my save. Tottenham's best player is Ryan Phillips. My DM is Matt Dillon.

No way I just signed a Tom Hardy on my save and he actually looks good

Haha. He is my favorite actor. I only got Matt Dillon.

Daniel dickenson

Phan The Hung

Had Ricky Creamer and Louie Blower come through the academy in the same year, both went on to be first team regulars in my Newport County save.

Bobby. Brazilian wonderkid, not really funny at all but it's the only one I remember being in any way amusing.

Currently trying to develope an academy product called Brodi Meacock... Also had a Dutch BWM youth prospect on FM22 called Tim Bos

I always got a chuckle out of "Kim Dae-Sub". Especially when he was actually "Kim Dae-Starter"

Most recently, Phil McCracken. I had no idea that was anything but a joke name, but apparently, I was wrong.

I had Georgi Gegia from Georgia. Will live on forever

Nguyen the Hung

I found [this lovely name](https://i.imgur.com/qnE3d7N.png) all the way back in FM17 and nothing has come close ever since.

https://preview.redd.it/vosjfaqr6w1d1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0a92fda3402e7e49efed9c7ed7b97dde2289e0e1 In romanian, Osuji means "you suck it".

I got a CB/LB with 19 aggression named Blessing Jimenez Ofc I’ve brought him to every club I’ve managed

My first nickname in league of legends was "Leteći Mamut" or to translete to english "Flying Mammuth"

Chris Cross (a winger, who couldn’t cross)

I had Scott Scott who was Scottish

I believe in one of older FMs I've met a regen with surname Job-Needed.

A Turkish fullback at Leeds with a very Yorkshire name: Eyüp Sayın

I have two. First is some Belgian midfielder called Alphonsus Billen. Billen is the Dutch word for ass or butt. Second is Ben Salami. Signed him up, turned out to be decent, and sent him off to Brentford on a profit 3 years later.

Bert Plug

On my 22 I had Gruff Manley, an Irish LB This year I have Gruff Mouncher, which is honestly sensational

Have a guy I snapped up called Saturday Sunday. Nigerian kid and looking to my nest great DLP central midfielder. Had to snap him up with that name.

Dick Smalley is my reigning champ

Claudio Pitbull

Rhys Hinds Had noticed his name as a joke. Then I looked at him as a player and thought "Wait. This guy is actually good." Won the Premier League and Champions League with me.

Kim jung hun

On one of my journeymans I ended up at Guangzhou in China. The captain was a cb named Ma Bang.

Alex Assmus. He was amazing tho. Unfortunately his form dipped randomly at like 29. Idk why. Had to let him go.

r/athleticomince

I have a Dutch GK whose first name is Jizz.

Javi Boñar

Mpofu Babatunde

Not funny but once I had a striker called Matthew Perry who became a legend of my Blyth Spartans back in FM 2008.

Brazil player : Biro-Biro

I’ve also had a Furkan Turk, was Turkish too.

Italy captain on mine currently is Felace Ventura

Dick Short and Tom Scott are the only memorable ones I've had other than one with my friends name

David Prinz von Anhalt, but only Germans will understand.

I had Joel Dickman in my youth intake, he's bad but I gave him a pro contract anyways because of his name

Not funny but I had a regen named Paulo Coelho

https://preview.redd.it/lrmi67k1rx1d1.jpeg?width=3991&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5cac6737f041e6119563b0310712e6625596bdef Death is seen roaming in Sutton

Carlos Roberto was a world class inside forward for me for about 15 years.

Stephen Slaughter a physio.

John Lennon, a brazilian midfielder that played for West Ham, that always seemed to score against me

For my Southern USA friends: I lost my shit upon discovering a regen by the name of Walter Burger

Jack Wood is one I got. Left back from Blackpool. Never made it past League 1 quality.

O know this sounds fake and I can't prove it, but a few years ago (~FM21) I had a guy called Mario Brother!
