In another thread, someone mentioned they liked the name \"Seneca Lassiter\". My all-time favorites are \"Natasha Kaiser-Brown\" and \"Fran Tens Best\". Anybody else have a favorite name?

There's a guy over here called Justin Swift-Smith which I always thought was a great name for a runner. Sadly he never quite fulfilled his potential - he ran 1:49 for when he was 18 but only ever got down to 1:48 (I think).
Anyway, Sebastian Coe has got to be right up there.
there have been some good names in kenya, some of the best right now include:
Lord Torome (Just wouldn't want to race anyone named "Lord")
Joyce Msungu (Last name means "white guy")
Anyone named "Chirchir" - means "fast."
Wilberforce Talel (I think this has been mentioned here before, but it's just an interesting name.)
Judah Walala (supposedly means "guy who sleeps a lot")
I went to high school with an Ethiopian guy named Tim Temtemie - pronounced Tim Tim Timmy. Our math teacher always called him Tim Cubed.
Hey dude, are you stoned, it's Fran ten Bensel, of Nebraska and New Balance fame, time to go smoke...
I always liked Nathan Leeper. Pretty fitting that he's a high jumper.
How about Jenelle Deathrage... sounds like someone who can kick some ass...
Aphelia Balz
how about "i'm a stupid waste of space"
Jim Ryun and Marty Liqouri.

Kansas State has two great High Jumpers with classic names...Nathan Leeper (as you mentioned) and Morgan High...
Turbo Tumo - 2:09 guy from Eth.
After 107 years, Spiridon Loues is still a pretty good name
Turbo Tumo is definitely a sweet name.
In IL, we had TJ Jumper as a high jumper. Went over 7 feet in HS a few years ago.
My fave non-runner name. Dr. Smelsey the podiatrist, back in Oak Park, MI (with Dr. Sugar the dentist and Drs. Blood and Bonebrake the chiropractors).
Oops, that's the name. Now quit bogarting that j and pass it over
Hmm wondering if this was either supposed to be me or ragging on me...Just let it be known that this

Don't see why people like the name Seneca. Maybe its that they like him. I always liked the name Moses Kiptanui, but I think thats because he was a complete bad ass.
