I still can't pronounce Suh's first name (I know different sport, but not an everyday name by any means)
It is pronounced En-Dahm-oo-Kahn

I wonder if there is a Japanese forum somewhere where they play a western sport sim and have a list of funny names like Joe Smith.

Duncan Duncan? Funny name.
Davida Hoomaikai? Just not from your culture, guys.

I don't know if you may remember Kosuke Fukudome, but prior to his arrival, even Japanese outlets were having fun with the English spelling of his name. It is all in good fun. I'm sure you know the Dutch pronunciation of Jak Schijt is not what it looks like in English, but that's still pretty damn funny. Also, my real name Roger, is a rather crude slang word in English for intercourse, and I manage to have a few laughs at that as well. So yeah, Davida Hoomaikai is a funny name.
