Roy, I am a big fan of this true sentence about the Super Bowl: “People, with names, will play it.”

I could not care less about the Super Bowl, but this is priceless.

The classical music world (which I know much better than the professional sports world, not that that's a high hurdle) has its share of fun names as well. As in: Yannick Nézet-Séguin, who plays First Baton for Philadelphia (a true major league team). He's got double consonants, a hyphen, and some accent accents aigus. How 'bout THEM pommes de terres?
