Have any of you named your kids after famous runners? What names did you choose? I really like the names Tirunesh and Meseret and have thought about those names but would wait until they are officially retired.

I named my son Mebrahtom. No regrets for me. He is struggling with it though...
I named my child WEBB IS BACK BABY!!!
He loves it.
I named my son Jordan Hassay Smith.
Pheidippides
I named mine Caster Semenya Stevens.
Marvin Gaylord Silly Smith
Yes. My son is William Flagpole (last_name).
Almost named my kid Sebastian.
Despite any of the politics, he is still my favorite runner of all time.
Jim Spivey did name one of his sons Seb after Coe! Two smoothest runners I've ever watched.
Oldest daughter has a middle name of Joan.
I have a dog named Galen. All my friends laugh at the poor bast@rd because of it.
Also, had a cat named Alberto Salazar, after the famous runner and coach of the same name.
I have two sons:
Robert Prefontaine Applegate
and
Riley Dellinger Applegate
Both are more into lacrosse than running though. Actually, they've never done track or XC though Robbie did throw the discus for a couple months for our local CYO back in middle school.
Boy is named Jarmila, girl is Galen.

Savage . . . just savage.
No kids here, but I had a chicken named Little Jerry Seinfeld.

Not reflecting well for me, but Seinfeld jokes never get old.
I named my gorilla Coe-Coe.
I have twins, son Sebastian- after Coe , and daughter Haillee (pronounced Hailey) after Haile G.
My last name is a first name (Peter) so I thought it would be fun to name my son with last names. My favorite track stars are Ashton Eaton and Tyson Gay so I went with: Eaton Gay Peter.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
