Napoleon Einstein

[abdulw11]

So I was browsing the names of the players in the IPL, when one name caught my eye:

Napoleon Einstein (http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/india/content/player/279540.html)

Found it really funny, so I thought I'd share. Some of you may have heard of him already.

Any other weird or wonderful names in cricket?

He was in the Indian u-19 team that won the world cup recently, though he played only one match there.

Wow.. This Is Weird..

[Rabz]

Weird indeed.
May be his parents were big fan of those two gentlemen.

but when it comes to most funny/weird/politically incorrect names,
the award should go to the former Kenyan player

Dipak Chudasama.

[al-Sagar]

I'm still trying to get over :

'Dollar Mahmud'

What were the parents thinking? Obviously the grandparents didn't have a say in the name selection

[Sohel]

Real names heard in Dhaka: Dollar (spelled Dolar), Ruble (spelled Rubel), Dinar, Guinee, Euro (spelled Uro), Napoleon (AKA Nepo), and last but by no means least, Hitler (AKA Hitlu).

I had a friend called "Rial".
He had a brother called Dolar, sister "Lira".

Definitely his parents had a fetish of currency names.

Why not Pound or 'Kuwait Dinar' ? They're supposed to be the most high in value! :)
