Named after a great?

[Overthehills]

To cut a long story short and without giving away too much that could be considered to breach any sort of confidentiality, I recently had an interaction at work with someone that has triggered this conversation.

In asking someone’s name, he replied ‘Kit’… I thought I had misheard and replied ‘Keith’….. No ‘kit’ he said, as in the footballer. I was named after the Brighton player…..He was my old man’s hero”…

This led to further conversation about his later departed fathers hero Kit Napier, who was obviously a prolific Scottish born striker, who played at the club for 6 years in the 1960s / 70s (for the younger generation).

But I just wondered whether any of here have been named after, or have named your own kids after blades players?? Are you a Keith? Tony? Alan? Michael? Billy? Etc…. As a result of being name after a blades hero….or have name your own nippers after one?

Not personally, but I seem to remember a Blade called his daughter something along the lines of Jessica Morgan Jagielka (surname) around the time we got promoted in 2006. I'm sure it was in all the papers at the time.

Edit - thanks to the power of Google.. Jessica Morgan Jagielka Warnock Anderson.

Named after some players, a manager and a stand.

Impressive.

Had to look back three times to make the connection to the BL stand. Very good!

I used to work with a fella who was named Keith Morris. His full name was Keith Edward Colin Morris.

True story

 

[Blackheath Blade]

My mate gave the christian names of 'Bramall Laine' to his son a few years ago. Bramall is now a teenager but I haven't seen my mate for a while so I don't know if there's any festering resentment from young Bramall.

 

[Ainsley Harriott]

I know a kid whose middle names are 'Red Blade'

That's BS. Clearly named after this legend....

 

[Houston_Blade]

There are other ways to show Bladeyness than giving your kid a shit name. It's a bit naff really.

My brother in laws and nephew are pigs and they have stupid ex-pig player middle names. Cringeworthy.

 

[BladesNo9]

My brother is William, after a Blades Legend of Yesteryear!, also his nickname is 'Fatty',....... because he's a fat Bxxxxxd!!

 

[JJBlade]

My mates introduced me to a bloke called Keth who only had one eye.

It took me ages to find out that his real name was Keith, but he'd got an eye missing

Shit names.
Private reg plates.
Football crests in wrought iron gates.

Dreadful.

 

[Sheffsteel]

I know someone who named his son Paddy, after our goalie Paddy Kenny.
He was exactly a massive fan of Paddy Kenny, but liked the name.

 

[Katzenjammer]

My lad asked me something similar the other day:

"Dad, why is my sister called Rosie?"

Well son, it was your mother's turn to name the baby so she called her Rosie because roses are her favourite thing.

"Oh right, cheers for telling me dad, I always wondered"

No problem, 7am Away Day Sesh.

 

[CPB]

I would like to name my first born be they a boy or a girl:

Tony Ten-Heuvel Ahmehodovic Woodward "Surname"

But doubt the wife would go for it.

His hero was actually the 'Kit man' at the old Goldstone ground

 

[Ted Striker]

I used to have a cat named Blakey named after bloody Nathan Blake, looking back I should have told people I was a big 'On the Buses' fan!!

Are you absolutely sure you didn't mishear again and he was actually named after Kif Kroker from Futurama?

 

[Maidenhead]

Everyone that knows me and my son will be aware that his forenames are Keith Edward

 

[WF10BLADE]

My 5 year old is named Billy.

 

[Ace of Blades]

A mate of mine named his son Simon after his then hero Simon Tracey. Both are still ST holders.

 

[mattbianco1]

The joke is because he's "missing an eye"

6 years' time, first day of term, reception class, 9am, most schools in Sheffield:
"Now then children, let's start with the register. I say your name and you call out Here Miss. Got it? OK let's start. Iliman? No not you Iliman Hughes. I mean the other Iliman. No Iliman Smith not you. Nor you either the other Iliman Smith. Iliman Jones, sit down please, you can go to the toilet after we've finished the register. Iliman Atwell, yes you, you're first."
"Actually miss I'm Sander Atwell, my twin brother Iliman is out for the season, done his ACL in Breakfast Club".

 

[Blade for Sale]

I used to work with a real ratbag who named her son Careca after the Brazilian striker. Acceptable in Sao Paulo maybe. Less so in Gorton.

 

[Menage a petit pois]

I knew someone who named their dog "ugly ginger twat".... He was a big fan of Gary Megson....

 

[tyke1889]

A family member has the middle names "Sheffield United"
