So should I make a poll for this, or should I wait for more input?
Magnus Magnusson - strongest man in the world champion in the mid 90's
Roberto "Hands of Stone" Duran - champion middle weight boxer in the 70's & 80's
Michael Stonebreaker - linebacker for Notre Dame in the late 80's early 90's
Angus Cobb - a colleague from work. Think corn-fed Nebraska farm-boy 6'6" 300lbs. A fight breaks out on your housing unit of inmates...the first guy you want to see lumbering through the door to cover your back is Cobb. That's MR. COBB, SIR to you, convict.
Chuck Steak.
Chest Rockwell.
Brock Sampson- From the adult swim show The Venture Bros.
Dirk Diggler from Boogie Nights
Joseph Stalin. It means man of steel, so... :balloon2:
Gurthro Steenkamp and Bismarck du Plessis. South African Rugby players.
Then there's good old Bruce, a real man's name.
Barack Obama
AAAAAnyways,
Harry Callahan
He-man!!!!

Let me amend my choice to Skillet Galleyman.
He is someone who my dad used to tell stories about. Of course I do not believe any of them, but my dad loved to tell stories that were not true. He worked as a machinist with my dad, and he used to come over and visit a lot when I was too young to remember. (yeah, right) He was of African decent, but he did not know who his parents were. He got his name from a gang that he belonged to when he was younger. He was bald, and weighed almost 400lbs. They called him skillet, because he got hit over the head with a skillet when he was younger, and the skillet bounced back and hit the guy who was holding it in the face. Everyone at work knew him as a guy who would take no crap and give none either. He was always a safe bet to hang out with, as long as you did not ask him about how he got his scars.
My dad told the story a heck of a lot better than I ever could. :P He told me tons about him when I was younger (lots of it conflicted), and I believed him for most of my life (probably at least until I was 14). I learned later that he ripped him off from a fictionalised book some guy from Harlem wrote about himself. :P Even though he is not real, I still think of the name as real today. :P My dad used to be able to tell some woppers of stories.
Hillary Clinton
Dicky :laugh4:
Jürgen Macho, an Austrian football goalkeeper
It would be even better if his first name was Günther, but Jürgen works pretty nicely too.
Michael!
That's my first name, we all know it's the best there is for a boy! :medievalcheers::crown:
Lesley.
Once, during a very slow day at work, I contemplated the possibility of writing a spoof version of those awful trashy medieval romance novels. I blame it on the fact I was pricing and merchandising the ~500 Milles&Boons historicals someone had decided the bookshop needed. The ideas I came up with had my colleges in stitches. The male lead's name was pretty good, if I do say so myself.
Ricardo FitzUrse. Use my smart English pronunciation and that sounds like Rick-hardo Fits-Urs. All his friends were going to call him Hardo, and naturally everyone would be totally blind as to how bad this sounded.
Hardo was a manly man to out-man all the rest. He's so tough he would make Conan cry, and then cry himself because he's in touch with his feminine side too. Every last crappy stereotype went into Hardo's creation, and indeed into the rest of the work.
My second choice for his name was Everard. Pronunciation: ever-hard. The audience decided that he absolutely had to be Ricardo's brother, and the lead character of the sequel.
Whacker McShane
Dick.
Scarface? Scars are manly I suppose.
Gah! Is the Frontroom always such as steaming pile of spam?? What hypocrisy it was to repeatedly ban the EB Tavern when you have this fine establishment...
Sorry, just two pence from a Frontroom n00b.
Phyrrhos Akikades, He still capable to attack Spartans after get humiliated by the Romani, deserted by most of his Makedonian subjects, but still had the confidence, truly the man up to the bone....:2thumbsup:
Alright. This getting ridiculous. A person has yet to mention Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger/Rainier Luftwaffe Wolfcastle. Also, Wolfgang sounds very masculine. Y'know, like a combination of a wolf and a street gang, both of which are stereotypicaly an embodiment of all that pertains to the male sex.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is good, but the Alois makes it gay. Same for the second one; it would be much better without the Rainier.
Dick Pound.
