When parents name their children, I often wonder if they ever consider the possibility that their children could become famous. If they do, they wouldn't name their children with weird-sounding names. At least, I think they wouldn't. These guys' parents, though, probably didn't think their children would be famous.

God Shammgod (Basketball) - This former Washington Wizard actually didn't like his name so much that he went by the name of Shammgod Wells during his high school playing days in La Salle Academy with Ron Artest. When he moved on to Providence College, though, he had no choice but to use his legal name of God Shammgod, and the legendary name was born. Unfortunately, his game was far less legendary and after a short NBA stint, Shammgod bounced around the world, including the China Basketball Association.
