Category talk:Cool Names
I really don't know if this category is worth it. Shouldn't categories be factual rather than opinion? --Scott 06:07, 23 Mar 2006 (EST)
That would be my sense too. This is more of an encyclopedia site than a bunch of personal lists. - --Mischa 06:09, 23 Mar 2006 (EST)
Sorry, guys, Just thought another purpose of this, or anything else for that matter, is having fun. --Ron 06:39, 23 Mar 2006 (EST)
Only problem is agreeing on what a "cool name" is. We all agree that the Altoona Curve was a minor league team, but do we all agree Shooty Babitt is a cool name? --Just me 10:21, 23 Mar 2006 (EST)
Cool names are "Names that are difficult to say out loud without smiling, chuckling or the good old belly laugh" --Ron 12:42, 23 Mar 2006 (EST)
I have no problem with saying Cal McLish without smiling, chuckling or laughing. Now Razor Shines... - --Mischa 12:49, 23 Mar 2006 (EST)
But click on the name - I don't know how to get it to say Calvin Coolidge Julius Caesar Tuskahoma McLish --Ron 13:39, 23 Mar 2006 (EST)
I'm liking this category less and less at time goes by. What's so cool about J.D. Durbin or Mike Sweeney? -Chisoxfan 17:47, 7 April 2007 (EDT)
How can we add a name? I think Joba Chamberlain belongs in here.
To add a category, type [[Category:Cool Names|Chamberlain,Joba]] into the bottom of the page. - --Mischa 12:51, 19 August 2007 (EDT)
Would someone please enlighten me on how the name 'Israel Alcantara' is cool or funny? IndiansFan 03:57, 27 August 2007 (EDT)
Its not, but I don't really see the need for the category. --Jeff 21:40, 30 August 2007 (EDT)
