10. Miroslav Satan - His name sounds more like a character out of a horror film or even the book of Revelation. Although it is pronounced "sha-TAHN," one could confuse Miroslav with a much-less likable character, or even the Prince of Darkness himself. Satan has managed to have a good career and has scored 301 goals in 12 seasons and is among the elite players, but will always be among the elite worst names in the NHL.
9. Pete LaCock - Pete LaCock's stay in Major League Baseball was rather short and uninteresting. His nine-year career ended with a flaccid .257 batting average and a total of 27 homeruns. Needless to say, Pete couldn't cut it with the big boys. He should have gotten into show business like his old man Peter "Marshall" who was the host of "Hollywood Squares" from 1966-1981. Maybe little Pete should have followed in his father's footsteps and changed his last name.
8. Misty Hyman - Misty Hyman made this list for having the most disturbing name a woman could probably have (except for No. 2 on our list). The 2000 Sydney Olympics gold medalist failed to break through and qualify for the 2004 Olympics in Athens and has fallen off the Earth since then, but we can never forget Misty Hyman.
7. Harry Colon - Harry Colon is not only remembered for having one of the worst names a parent ever gave their child, but he does hold the Jacksonville Jaguars' season record for interceptions (three). His six years in the NFL will be remembered more for delivering gut-busting laughs when his name was announced than his ability to intercept the ball. Maybe he should have gone to medical school and become Dr. Harry Colon, proctologist.
6. Dick Butt kiss- Dick Butkus may be most noted for his low crew-cut styled hair, though it may be his horrible name. This Hall of Fame linebacker for the Bears was given a terrible last name pronounced "butt-kiss," but to make matters worse, his mother and father, for some reason, gave him the name Dick. What were you thinking mama and papa Butkus? What were you thinking?
5. Assol Slivets - Assol Slivets may have gotten a rude look or two in her lifetime when asked what her first name is. You know you're going to make some kind of list at some point in your life when your first name can't even be said on television or radio. This Belarus-born skier took fifth place at the 2006 Turin Olympics in the women's aerial ski competition and took fifth place on the list of worst sports names ever. You've just got to love Assol.
4. Lucious Pusey - You can say it how you want, but he knows how it's pronounced. At least he used to. This linebacker for the Division I-AA Eastern Illinois Panthers legally changed is name to Lucious Seymour, but he will forever be remembered as Lucious Pusey.
3. Johnny Dickshot - John Oscar "Ugly" Dickshot made the diamond his stomping grounds for most of the '30s and '40s. Although Johnny didn't play in many games, he still managed to leave a legacy of having one of the most peculiar and coolest names of all time. The name Johnny Dickshot reminds me more of a secret agent. However, Johnny Dick Shot definitely is No. 3 on the list of worst names in sports.
2. Rusty Kuntz - You may ask, "How can this next guy only be No. 2 on the list," but Rusty Kuntz fell just a bit short of the No. 1 spot. This seven-year veteran of MLB most likely didn't even lead his neighborhood in any category in any year. Proving true to his name, he was quite rusty, finishing his career with a batting average of .236 and had a whopping five homeruns and 38 RBI. While these numbers speak for themselves, Russell Jay Kuntz can't, so I nominate him for the No. 2 spot.
1. Chubby Cox - Who can beat out all of those other poor souls and their terrific names? Well, Chubby Cox of course. John Arthur Cox III, better known as Chubby, played in only seven NBA games and a total of 78 minutes and scored 28 points in his professional career. The Washington Bullets weren't big fans of Chubby, but we saw all we needed to see. Chubby Cox will hold the No. 1 spot as long as I have a say.

. I'm convinced that even if he was good enough to be in the NBA, David Stern would have found a way to block it unless the guy changed his name...
