Best baseball names

Players on my BP Team Tracker Watch List simply because of their names (though many of these have value more in the first name, kind of negating the back-of-the-uniform value):

Socrates Brito, of, ARI
Jhondervisth Caracas, p, FLA
Jetsy Extrano, 2b, SEA
Elvis Familia, dh, BAL
Rowdy Hardy, p, ATL
Dusty Harvard, of, CHA
Boss Moanaroa, 1b, BOS
Moko Moanaroa, lf, BOS
Dusty Napoleon, c, OAK
Gift Ngoepe, 2b, PIT
Nelalexfred Ortega, 2b, WAS
Riswish Ramirez, if, PHI
Rebel Ridling, 1b, CHN
Chris Seigfried, p, CHN (for opera or Get Smart fans)
Sequoyah Stonecipher, of, FLA
Damon Sublett, of, NYA
Beamer Weems, ss, SDN
Jake Wild, p, SEA

And I certainly would have just added Rougned Odor, but he's not in the database (only Teodoro Martinez, of, TEX, and Jake Odorizzi, p, MIL)...

As for Odor, I Googled and ended up at a Rangers' site. No answer there on pronunciation (other than saying his last name is pronounced "Oh-Door," and he goes by "Roo" or "Rougie"), but what was kind of funny is that the banner ad was for Gillette Odor Shield.
