Boston and Bruin
I overheard someone say to her friend (2 boys with her).... "Bye Boston, bye Bruin! Haha, Boston Bruins that's awesome!"
My name nerd heart sank! Do you know of any people with names after sports' teams or athletes? :P

I worked with a girl who named her two sons Brooklyn and Boston. She wasn't a sports person at all, so I don't think she knew they were mortal enemies.
That's amazing!
Go Habs Go
No, I don`t know anyone named "Go Habs Go". I just hate Boston with a passion.

Nope... I find that odd though.
There were a few Bretts here after Farve, but that's as far as we go here- the players' names. For the most part, if you use a favorite player's first name, people just assume you like the name, not "Oh, my God. You're honoring Aaron Rodgers!" (ex., I'm in Wisconsin) Boston and Bruin--- no.
no, but...
In Oklahoma, there is a college sports stadium named after a legendary coach whose name was Okla. I cannot remember the last name to save my life, but Okla had an identical twin brother named Homa.
Also, my mother had a friend when she was little whose name was Penny. Penny had a baby sister named Candy. Penny Candy. Their dad even named his little fishing boat Penny Candy.

I don't know anyone named after a team or athlete, but I once had a coworker with a son named Slam. Slam's dad was a huge basketball fan and named him after the slam dunk.
