Nuno Espírito Santo (literally "Nuno Holy Spirit") might be the best one yet. I am loving Wolves' run in the EPL for that name alone. :D

The hazard in Eden was the serpent...or Eve, depending on one’s philosophical slant.

It just sounds like a ballers name. He reminds of the old Brazilian national teams especially names like Josimar and Junior.

Bamboo Yogo Yogo (From my secondary school).

Kudos to all those who attended secondary school. Some may take this for granted, but 54% of the people here refused to go to secondary school according to the statistics Lolly posted here a few weeks back. Some of them are even 72 years old now are are still rejecting any idea of post Awolowo free primary school education.
