According to this post - (171708.69) we can ask Dire and Niko (if active) to change the names of our players.
Let's get some names we want up in this thread and post any problems!

I like my players: (leave them be)
Brice Turnbull
Roger McComisky
Kody Moana

Past draftees
Kenny McEwan KEEENNNNYYYYY
Gavin Doran GAAAVVVIIINNNN

Average names (can come under multiculturalism): (might change)
Debjit Chaturvedi
Jeremiah Honkoop
Edgar Baker (Edgar has an English background but isn't compared to Stevo.



No....just no.... (CHANGE!!!)
None on my current list.

Past draftees
Aghrnivasu Subramanian (Indian name, white man, ranga hair, top chop haircut.)
Mo Chengkang (Can't even find origin, black hair, buzz cut.)
Mario Furgone (12019417) lol'd.
Andrzej Mondorowicz (Polish or Greek, means man, warrior.)

Why can't we have Steve which means plumber or Bob which means fat builder?

Can you smell what the Hobos are cooking... oh wait its just Roger. (18085274)

The odd thing is I would fall off my seat if I actually saw a guy called John Smith but players named Aghrnivasu Subramanian or Debjit Chaturvedi are a dime a dozen. I have also only ever twice seen a name that could be for an Aboriginal or Torres Straight Islander.

My impression is that they just have all the real names in a giant database and randomly pick from it instead of ensuring that there are 100 players called John for every one called Aghrnivasu. If anything there should be an emphasis on Eastern European names as that *seems* the be the main source of our quality basketballers at the moment.

I've got the very Aussie Mark Edwards and Sam Johns but i also have Odisseas Massios who must be of Greek heritage. The only other aussie i have got is Cam Angold which isn't too bad.

I have the very Australian "Iskandar Zulkernain Ajui". And he's as pale as an albino.

I still like the tactic the u21 were able to run a couple of seasons back of having so many nguyens that the opposition couldn't tell who was where and when.
