Rare first names for the draftees.

[maximum bob 462]

I'm pretty sure I've never seen a first name Denver, Tanner, Reef, Finlay or Braeden pull on a guernsey in the AFL. (Just filling in time until the draft gets underway}.

Other contributions welcome.

When I see names like this I always assume the parents have spent much of their life receiving unemployment benefits

Falls at the first hurdle! Just within this team there's a repeated name.And the repeated name doesn't even extend beyond one player.

I also wonder if Aliir Aliir is the only AFL/VFL player in history with the same first and last name? Donald McDonald gets close.

There’s been some humdinger names in the NRL. I reckon nothing can top Fuifui Moi-Fui Moimoi

Add the Mullets and porno Moustache that a number of players had, I thought we were back in the 80's.

Alex Neal-Bullen is worth including because the Late Danny Frawley when commentating thought his 1st name was Neal and last name was Bullen.

I'm really surprised by Willingham, McCallum and Hampton being unique surnames. Adem and Reece I would have expected to see more of, too.

Aliir and Daw won't be unique for long, they are the cultural equivalents of Smith and Jones and the community is taking to AFL like Islanders to Rugby or Irish to sunburn.

He qualifies as the only player with the surname Aliir and the first name Aliir.

I'm sad that we didn't get Phoenix Spicer

Phoenix Spicer sounds like the name of a crop dusting plane.
