Where have the traditional European names all gone?


Here you have two wonderful athletes who's names sound like they are English or American, the Two Tony's. But one is French (Tony Parker) and the other is German (Tony Martin). How are we supposed to tell where people are from if they keep choosing homogeneous names? Come on lads, go natural; what about Antoine Parquere or Anton Marten, or something else European sounding. Give us a fair go, huh. Besides, these names are far too easy for sports commentators. You have to have something unforgettable like Eddie Merxx or Zlatan Ibrahimovich.
