Terry, not trying to be confrontational, but curious.....why are so many A-As named with names like that? Is there something in the cultural background that those types of names link them to?.(.i.e. German name-Wolfgang)

It's just their thing.
Like a lot of black people don't understand why so many white boys first names are their moms maiden name....(Wood, Cooper, Conner, Wellington, Collins)...met a lil kid named Lawson a couple days ago, playing baseball against my son's team.
That's ya'll thing. Both should be respect

Do you know when y'all started giving your kids those names...I'm an old guy and there were none of them when I was growing up.

I went to grade school with a Tamekia in the mid-70s, so it started a while back.

I always thought it was a nod to their African roots? Some are clearly made up, though.

Yeah, some are rooted...most are what we call "mammy-made"...

Can any real African-Americans shed some light on this topic?

If only he'd played for Auburn, Kenjon Barner would've been a shoe-in for the most Auburn name ever...

So how does all that tie into the Latin/Roman culture where those names are derived?....sumpin ain't right!

Pretty obscure, but this guy played special teams in the '80s: Pound Lamb
I remember him primarily because every time he was in on a play on Auburn Football Review, Dye made a point of calling him by name - and he could never say it without cracking up.
But the real reason it's the most Auburn name for an Auburn player, is that if you do a Google image search on "pound lamb auburn" you get pics like this:
You just don't get more Auburn than that
