The Hispanosphere has turned horrible names into an art form. Americans cannot ever, ever hope to compete. Even here in the Philippines I once met a 85 year old man named Charlemagne Ang and another guy in his 20s named Wolfgang Sebastian Dy. My brother works in a hospital in the maternity unit and he's lost count of how many kids he's seen named shit like "Aerith Marasigan" and "Sasuke Uchiha Del Moro". There was even a story that went viral of some filipino mom who named her kid Covid Bryant in 2021.
Covid Bryant HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
In Cuba a lot of people have the name "Usmail" and "Usnavy" too
Covid Bryant 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Meanwhile, Namibia in Africa has a politician whose name is Adolf Hitler Uunona.
I'm totally going to get banned for this, aren't I?
You president is named Bong Bong. What do you expect?
I think “Jhafets Christ Dick Reyes” is an honourable mention
there’s actually no way
this is nuts im dead

Ain’t no way bro I thought it was bs this is crazy!!😂
A normal conversation in Peru :
-"Hi my name is Pepsy, oh look it's Pringles"
-"No you're wrong, it's Lennin"
-"Oh yeah, you're right Luka Modric"
"vinladen" sounds like the name of a curry house
bro is not making an arsenal video until tomiyasu scores a hatrick
Nah wdym, he mentioned arsenal once in the video, that's enough arsenal content for him for the year
or he doesn’t want to curse arsenal
bro probably don't want to repeat last season
We will get a video at the end of the season…
yeah if he mentions Arsenal he will jinx them again. I can't wait for battering on tuesday they give bayern munich
That father is the real memelord

I was introduced to the world of weird football names in FIFA 08 with Brazilian footballer Creedence Clearwater Couto. You can have a field day with Brazilian names as well like John Kennedy, Michael Jackson, John Lennon etc.
I think the common thread is that its all the predominately Catholic nations, since the church is still vehemently anti birth control in any form. Sure your first 5 children are going to have specific and inspired names but when you're on the thirteenth? Naming your kid after the first thing you see in the room so you can get the nurse to leave you alone because you just want to sleep seems like a practical decision.
" Some folks are born made to wave the flag "
Well, as a Brazilian, I can tell that some folks here name their kids after noteworthy people, either to honor them (because they're fans) or because they hope the name will somehow rub greatness in them. Every Copa São Paulo, there's a list of fun names and you're bound to find someone named after noteworthy footballers (Riquelme was a regular years ago, think these days we had a Zidane) so that's really just how it is.
I mean, my second name was borrowed from a Hungarian philosopher from the Iron Curtain days, that's a thing.
There's a back-up goalie in Vasco da Gama literally called Halls though. Well, Hedhe Halls but still.
Did you see Kennedy's goal at the Libertadores final?? Was a nice shot, mind blowing even
@@JustKrin I indeed watched the game. That goal was beautiful
Im gonna name my child “Maqwell Ex-Career Mode CZcamsr and Arsenal Fan”
What if it's a girl?

Here in Portugal we actually have a list of legal names. And you probably know but a guy named Adolf Hitler did run in an election in namibia, and I think he also won
Yeah but the list is getting a lot more diverse… When I was born my parents weren’t allowed to name me their 1st choice. But I went to school with a girl named Rihanna 🤕
@@ninanano yeah but there is still some nonsense, for exemple you can name your son Filipe but not Felipe for some reason. Other names like En are legal too🤷♂️
And I laught so hard when the guy received the United Nations Public Service Award for Poverty Relief Efforts and stated that „This is just the beginning" 😅
apparently he was a very good politician as well, decreased poverty and such. great guy

Hi, Maq! Brazil has the same kind of problem with bizarre names, but, here, it's mostly with our footballers. One day, forward Adriano Michael Jackson and right-back John Lennon were both playing for Atlético Goianiense of the Brasileirão Série A, and they got subbed for each other, with the image of the sub becoming an instant meme in Brazilian football Twitter.
Latinoamerica supremacy 😌😌
Wolfgang Wolf coaching Wolfsburg was and IS my all time fit for a gaffer and a club ever....EVER! Even as a Bremen fan i wanted it to succesfully last to eternity. It kinda served my childish humour and my little OCD at the same time! 🤣
Maqwell has probably never heard of the Namibian politician "Adolf Hitler"
Can you imagine an entire squad consisting of Husain, Osama, Jizz, Banana, Kuntz, Assman.... and Cox....
your honour I object
kevin lasagna

Ah yes, the classic "Kevin Lasagna has many layers to his game."
@@heichan8657 real player though
has a wikipedia page and everything
@@dreamypizza8458plays in turkiye?
I mean the thing with Lasagna is that it's not even a given name, it's the family name. So there are generations of Lasagna
@@brutanedda3107 Kevin Lasagna and his son Baby Lasagna
In Brazil there was "Elano", which the pronunciation in Spanish is "the anus". When he played with Kaka, it was a funny thing to hear from the commentators.
There was a game where elano went into the game as a substitute for kaká an the comentary was like, "sale kaká por elano" lmao
@@isshikireik jesus christ I'm freakin' crying this is so stupid I haven't laughed this hard for a while
You're gonna have a field day looking at the names of the Indonesian squad for the U17 world cup last year, they had Figo, Zidan and Kaka
That's normal and logical compared to Sadam Hussein and pringles
also ronaldo kwateh and beckham putra
And also there is indonesian footballer name called gianluca pagliuca rossy. Yes, he is a goalkepper.
Ferrari
Ramadhan Sananta(i thought it was Santa)
Looking forward to see the next generation of Indonesian players with names like Mbappe Ayman Putra or Muhammad Haaland Arif
Can't wait to meet their Bolivian cousin Muamár Gèdafi
vinladen gonna be the goat trust the process
2:26 ”Known terrorist and arsenal fan” So, whats the difference?
Bru 💀
This is kind of like a “thing” in all of Latin America. Latinos love naming their kids weird names like this. There’s a footballer in Mexico who’s like 16, I think, whose name is Zinedine Sidane lmao.
Edit: ok so I found him, he’s actually 17 and plays for the Halcones de Zapopan in Mexico’s third division lol.
I don't think this trend got to Argentina, the funny names always come from above.
As a german, seeing people in other countries named Hitler who then decide to go into politics is the funniest shit ever.
Btw if that one guy spelt Alzheimer instead of Alzehimer he would have gotten the correct german term for it. It makes me believe that it was a typo on his end lmaooo
It is a typo but probably the parents didn't care. You write in Spanish like you speak it, so the parents probably just wrote it how it is pronounced here
I’m not peruvian, I’m mexican, but I do recall three weird names that I’ve come across. Zinedine Sidane Hernández (a player for Santos Laguna), and also I once met a guy called something like “Juan Gokú Rodriguez” or something of the sort. Also, the classic colombian player Efmamjjasond, due to the initials of all the months in spanish.
Iconic stuff
Juan Goku Rodriquez 😂
His father actually called his daughter Georgia bush 😂😂
Pringle is actually a common name. There's lots of cricketers named Pringle.
yea, I think many pringles names come from Juan Pascual Pringles, an argentinian soldier that participated in the battle for independance from spain
Pringles was probably named after a guy, so that would make sense
Hi peruvian here, I've met someone at a church named biblia (the bible), also it would surprise you the quantity of people called lionel messi in this country
Wait till he finds out that the Egyptian league has players called Aguero, Modric, and 3 whole Messis
There is a player for Malaysia called Sergio Aguero
There are also Egyptian players with names like Beckham, Drogba, Higuita, Obama, Gebna (Cheese), and the list goes on
3:44 Rosa Parks Jimenéz
South Indians are a bit insane like this too. A major South Indian politician is named Stalin. He was a former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu state. And there's a professional cricket player from South India named Napoleon Einstein.
Nigeria once had a president named Goodluck Jonathan
Most people have funny names, this guy has a whole sentence
I mean that's comparatively normal ngl
Let me tell you about the namibian goat called Manchester United MacGyver
Met a guy in Peru who introduced himself as Patrick. Figured he was just simplifying it for the Americans, but when I called him Patricio he got offended
Yaya means "balls" in polish so Yaya Banana was the funniest shit in 7th grade
Yago Pikachu is up there, though.
Not his real name unfortunately
That's a goated one, but there's also a Wellington Rato (Rat) and a Flavio Caça-Rato (Rat Hunter) playing here in Brazil
It's a nickname though, like Pato (duck) and Ganso (goose)
especially that now Yago is also considered special name to since popular virtual CZcamsr company Hololive boss is also the same but with the double o as nickname lmao
im peruvian and my best friend in primary school was named “Marciano” which literally translates to alien
How about that guy AK 47 from afcon 2 months ago 😂
That was just Vincent Aboubakar I’m fairly sure, his shirt number was 47
@@MarioMastr No, it was Abdoulaye Kamara, 47 was its shirt, but he wanted to be called AK-47 lol
@@dragaonews2551he must be the Andrei Kirilenko of football 😂😂😂
That's Aboubakar Kamara. AK is his initials. His shirt nunber when the nickname was given was 47.
Its even funnier since a spanish V is pronounced like a B lmao
As a Peruvian, trust me, there's no better way of presenting our football to the world than this one
Shoutout to Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink

A favorite of mine is Efmamjjasond González Palacios, whose name is the first letter of each month in Spanish
Holy shit.
Some other weird/funny Peruvian names on that list you didn't mention:
-Bartender
-Bolognesa
-Danyerous
-Dickennedy
-Dickjoe
-Maycolyacson (Michael Jackson)
-Philcollins (Phil Collins)
-Lucifer
-Reading
-Twister
-Ubers
-Yommyyammy
-Yourself
-ZZ
Lucifer is the most normal name on the least, mostly because, well it is intended to be a name
what the fuck sort of drugs do you have to be on to name your kid Yommyyammy, Yourself, or ZZ
Not in Peru, but in Venezuela there is a former player named Stalin Rivas.
🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪
I think India has a Stalin footballer too
@@toreniconope, the CM of Tamil Nadu is a person named Stalin. His father, a former CM was a big admirer of Josef Stalin, especially the violent parts too.

Here in Brazil we had a Lisarb epidemic (Lisarb is "Brasil" expelled backwards) after Brazil won the 2002 World Cup
6:32 Fun fact: Martin Luther King Jr was actually named after Martin Luther from the late 1400s to mid 1500s, So someone being named ''Martin Luther King'' would be no more crazy than Martin Luther King Jr being named Martin Luther King Jr.
He terrorizes the pitch
A weird name that I know of in football would be Steven Gerard Jean Yves Gaote, a Bulgarian U-17 player, in the Levski Sofia Academy.
7:30 yakuza music

Lmaoo Peruvian here! Bro I'm so glad you found out about the H...er v Lennin stuff on the local elections, it's so much greatness in comedy
Living in Peru has gotten me exposed to insane, unhinged stuff like this on a daily basis it's so unreal, I actually worked with a guy named after Germany's infamous ww2 leader, and I was once in a class with some guy named Bismark, another one named Romel and some dude whose parents I'm pretty sure just invented a word when they named him Onyx.
Osama is actually from a town a couple hours from where I live and the club's stadium is, I don't think he's actively playing in 1st division atm and his last club, Union Comercio, is at the bottom of the league rn and very likely to lose the category, they're a pretty shady and shitty club so don't feel bad for them, I hope Osama's doing well tho
are these people named by parents who liveed in Santa Cruz Bolivia lmao?
Onyx is a real word, it's the name of a very dark mineral.
why stop there?
We have football international Yeltsin Tejeda from Costa Rica
Former ecuadorian president Lenin Moreno
Italian racing driver Andrea Kimi Antonelli
MK Stalin- an influential Indian politician
and my team has a brazillian called Tsunami.
Brazilian wing-back Marx Lênin.
Some years ago there was also a player in ecuadorian league named Michael Jackson Quiñonez or sum like that
Tsunami as a name goes really fucking hard
6:52 I love how her being a former jet skiier is necessary information lol 😂
You need to do a deep dive into some Cuban naming conventions like in Yusnavy (US navy), Yusmail (US mail), Yusarmi (US army), etc.
When I gotta explain arsenal to people who don’t know them and I get to “Arsene Wenger” they think I’m bullshitting them.
I'm from Nicaragua and there's a guy in my university whose name is Billy Joel. Also, Fluminense has a player named John Kennedy
Funny names in Indonesian language such as
Nangis,Mandi,Duda,etc....
Nothing beats Adolf Hilter Uunona the Namibian politican who is actually a civil rights activist who was involved in the movement for Namibia to gain it's independence from apartheid South Africa.
The Key and Peele East West Bowl skit is becoming more of a reality
Being half Peruvian when I sent my uncle the wiki page he said “fuck this shit only happens in Peru” which I believe to be accurate
Fun fact: In spanish, "v" is pronounced "b"💀
You know what's also funny? The congresswoman trying to ban stupid names... has Pigeon as her first name.
now i understand why she wants to ban it 😂
@@Malam_NightYoruan understandable life goal for a politician honestly
I'm from Peru and I remember the first time I heard his name on the TV on a Unión Comercio Match: "and here it comes OV Jimenez" definitively one of the moments of my life.
I hope he has an explosive season
As a peruvian, there's honestly not much to talk about our football save for bloopers and funny amateur team names. Our league sucks really bad and our best teams usually get mangled in libertadores. There's one peruvian competition that is actually worth talking about: Copa Peru. It's a big cup in which amateur teams (and teams that have been relegated out of second division) participate. It's played all across the country and it's so unprofessional it's hilarious. Some games end in fistfights and I remember one game being paused because a herd of cows walked into the field. Best thing is: absolutely anyone can join as long as they have 11 players. So you could just sign up with your friends for shits and giggles and if you somehow win the whole thing, you get promoted into the second division (and until a few years ago, winning Copa Peru sent you directly into first division lol).
as a peruvian i never ever heard about this, i will 100000% checking this out!
So he will do everything to avoid mentioning world cup qualification
You forgot Firstname Secondname from Northern Ireland as well. First time I saw that name, I thought that my local provider was displaying his name wrong, but when it turned out to be a real footballer, it was a real ROFL moment.
Bro I enjoyed this so much. Take a look at some funny zimbabwean names, they’re all in English and some terrible 😂
My guy did a whole intro about odd footballer names and didn't even mention Zé Turbo.
Lack of oxygen in peru is defo affecting them
They're too high up
In Indonesia, there were several footballers who were named after the infamous football legends. We might see the likes of Beckham Putra (David Beckham) and Ronaldo Kwateh (could have been either R9 or CR7).
In Hungary there is a lot of gypsy people called "Ronaldo"
I think the best name would have to belong to Namibian football player Manchester United MacGyver...
Icl I just thought he was listing off more peruvians with the patreon shoutouts at the end
Don’t forget former Düsseldorf and Dresden player Bekim Kastrati 😅
I’m pissed you didn’t mention Jeffinho
Peru is like the Zimbabwe of South America when it comes to naming.
Prepare to meet people named 'Table' or 'Escalator' whenever you visit Zimbabwe
7:02 you got me all messed up. I misread as the blessed Alba, had to pause
That's fine.
This still can beat Brazilian Copa São Paulo (our March Madness) and his Mbappé from Shopee things.
My fella has this nickname to himself.
believe it or not, a popular name in the Pacific nation of Kiribati is "Floating Stick" - because, according to the I-Kiribati, a floating stick has so many uses that it's considered the greatest possible thing.
You know I’ve been wanting Maxwell to make a video about Peru national team history, but this is going to be the closest ima get. Thanks Maxwell
Its been like 5 years since Maxwell said he will make San Marino video if hit 200k Before 2023 end
Fun fact:
There is a peruvian football club called ho chi min like the Vietnamese guy
Man latin america it's crazy, once a met a girl called Usnavy, the story is that her father saw that name on a ship while watching a movie lmao
I remember some years ago there was a player in ecuadorian league named Michael Jackson Quiñonez lol
As a filipino, it cracks me up when there is an Argentinian footballer named *a*o, and a brazilian coach nicknamed that reads like the filipino term for male reproductive organ 😂😂😂
Fernando Gago and Tite, this cracked me up when I saw it on TV
There is an artist in Brazil called MC Bin Laden😂he even is part of Brazilian Big Brother reality tv show😂
i am honored to hear maqwell talk about my people in such a great positive light 💀
never thought the Costa Rican footballer named Yeltsin would be beaten but here we are
Bruh those Peruvian fathers were typical Asian/Indian parents
Had great ambitions to become World Leaders but didnt so in the form of Manifestation named their children those names
And while commanding them they would feel like their commands would change the world and feel like kingmakers
Absolute chad dads 🗿🗿🗿🗿
Alessandro Buongiorno, aka Alexander Good Morning
And his Argentinian counterpart, Facundo Buonanotte
Fun fact: Adolf Hitler... Uunona was a Namibian politician who won a local election back in 2020 with a landslide. Ironically enough, this Hitler is a civil rights activist.
There is a „Thierry Henry“ playing for São Paulo.
Maqwell, can you please do a video on Everton and forest’s point deductions.
Keep up with the good content
There is a guy in Peruvian congress named "hitler saavedra"
Also I'd like to add that many pringles names come from Juan Pascual Pringles, an argentinian soldier that participated in the battle for independance from spain. There's a street in Buenos Aires called Pringles which sounded funny for a long time to me, but i onced asked my parents when i was a kid and told me this.
Hey Maxwell, video suggestion:
You reacting to Eurovision songs or something like that like last year :)
Love your content, keep it up 🫶🏻
The phrase "In Peru you never get bored" is always real. There are many guys who put names from dragon ball too, or some players like messi as first name lol
