In my "Madden 10" Franchise there was a rookie CB in the last draft class named "Tremendous Maxwell". I drafted him 3rd round. 74 overall. Not bad. Does that count?
On a related note, I know there's a minor league baseball player with an actual legal name like that (Magnificent, Terrific, or something like that - I just can't remember who the hell it is and Google's no help)
Anyone know who I'm talking about?

Increasingly, there are brand names (Lexus, Armani, Bacardi,
Timberland) and what might be called aspirational names. The California
data show eight Harvards born during the 1990s (all of them black),
fifteen Yales (all white), and eighteen Princetons (all black). There
were no Doctors but three Laywers (all black), nine Judges (eight of
them white), three Senators (all white), and two Presidents (both
black). Then there are the invented names. Roland G. Fryer Jr., while
discussing his names research on a radio show, took a call from a black
woman who was upset with the name just given to her baby niece. It was
pronounced shuh-TEED but was in fact spelled “Shithead.” Or
consider the twin boys OrangeJello and LemonJello, also black, whose
parents further dignified their choice by instituting the
pronunciations a-RON-zhello and le-MON-zhello.

Found it. Wonderful Terrific Monds III. Man, you guys are no help at all...
Y'know, it's one thing if it's cultural (Miroslav Satan, Hu Yaobang) - not much you can do about that, but people that purposely give their kids these idiotic names... WTF? Do they not realize these kids are going to have to go through the rest of their lives constantly having to explain themselves ("Yes, that's my real name") or being the butt of jokes? Like Moon Unit Zappa, Or a baby up here a few years ago that was the centre of a legal battle (Ivory Snow). Or about half the players in the Canadian Football League. Or better yet, these idiots that named their son "Adolf Hitler" and their daughter "JoyceLynn Aryan". Seriously, WTF?
