Ok, so your parents could do nothing about your looks prior to birth, but they sure as hell could do something about your name. We have all heard or seen our fair share of strange names (well at least in our opinions).  You just have to shake your head.

Well there I am watching a recent football game featuring the Florida State University’s Seminoles and I hear the name of one of their players. His name is De’ Cody Fagg. Yeah, ya hoid me! Fagg’s the name.

I am sure the jokes can be plentiful at the expense of this young man’s last name. I mean, how do you introduce the Fagg family? Imagine the grief his future wife might have to endure. “Soooo, you’re married to one of the Faggs, right?” What about his mom screaming at him in the heat of anger - “You’re a real Fagg. Just like your daddy!”

One thing I do know though. If he plays his cards right, Fagg or no Fagg, he’ll be far richer than most of us stiffs when he inks some lucrative contract with a preofessional NFL team, but I can’t help but think he might still cringe when introduced in a stadium filled with thousands who will watch this Fagg prancing across an open filed where he will be slapped on the ass a few times and rubbing up against other men in the course of a game they call football.
