Strangest Names That You've Encountered?

This is probably the weirdest name i've seen...took him with the first overall pick in 2015.

Sounds Pakistani - though I've more usually encountered the first name spelled Liquat than Liaqat.

It's kind of cool that the nickname, which I assume was assigned randomly, is "Super Joe", as it fits: "'Jadoon'? Uh, we'll just call you...Joe..."

I just drafted a 2B named Rod Johnson.

I have an outfielder named Chase Ball in my minor league system.

Just funny. He is my first pick in the 2012 draft.

This guy apparently filled out his draft application wrong and put Unknown as his last name.

I guessed that there was a bug in OOTP, but decided to keep it instead of changing his name.

Yes, it is Pakistani. And it would not be a terribly uncommon name.

You have to think about this guy for a second, then you get it...
