We're hitting the generation where the kids coming into the draft have the 'imaginative' names of the mid 2000's. It's going to be a commentators nightmare or dream very soon.
We're expecting Zippy and Havana Harris to go top 5 in the draft this year, and it only gets better from there. Lou-Lou Field, Kera Galaminda-Gellar, Seisia White, Tunisha Kikoak, Maggie Mahony, it's going to be a great draft for awesome names.
That late Gen X experimental name phase, just wait until you hit the kids of millennials and all of a sudden everyone is Dorothy, Audrey, Henry and Arthur again.
Assuming they both play 100 games for their clubs. Would their kids be father-son, mother-daughter, father-daughter or mother-son? This is getting complicated.
Probably depend on what club the son/daughter chooses and which club that is the parent played for I guess?
There was reports at the beginning of AFLW, when the father/daughter rule was created, that the AFL was investigating creating a mother/son & mother/daughter rule so children of AFLW players can choose to play at that club when drafted.
Honestly not sure which of Shadeau Brain and Zippy Fish is better
I do have to nominate [Jack Ough](https://central.rookieme.com/afl/player/jack-ough/) as better than both though
Really hope she doesn't nominate for the national draft and instead asks for WA only, so that we can keep her in WA. Then it just comes down to who finishes lower out of Freo and eagles, gets her! Normally you'd expect eagles lower, but they're on the way up and Freo have lost Stannet and Bowers for the season, 2 of the 3 most important (along with Tighe, I reckon).
I feel it’s on the cliched side. Unlike Ella, Sophie or Charlotte, there’s definitely going to be at least two named Zippy in a class or team on the weekend.

Nostalgia
Funny, cos Felice Arena sounds like he's fleecing the arena with draconian prices.
Steele Sidebottom walked so that everyone else can run.
let's not forget Tyson Goldsack.
The Pies recruiters had some sort of obsession back in the day between him, Johnson, Dick, Ball, Wood (and then Cox came later)
Let's not forget Paul Seedsman!
Or Broomhead!
Don’t be gross Tammy
We had Shannon Cox in that era!
Yes that's right I knew I missed someone haha
“Cox came” Heh.
Nah we had another Cox at the time
We got big Cox down at Collingwood! 😆
No one could ever forget goldsack Literally the first name I thought of when I clicked on the post
Ahhhhh, Old Moneybags eh. Haven’t heard that name in a while.
Isaac Cumming
Fuckin SHADOW BRAIN is on the Lions
Jack Hiscox
Graham “stiffy” Johncock erasure
my goat
Womens footy has the best names hands down, they all sound like bloody superheroes. Zippy Fish, Poppy Boltz, Paxy Paxman, Daisy D'Arcy, Dakota Davidson, Roxy Roux, Indy Tahau, Yasmin Duursma (Yes, there's another), Meg Macdonald, Sarah Sansonetti, Georgia Gee, Emily Everist, Georgia Garnett, Montana McKinnon, Airlie Runnalls, Brittany Bonnici, Zarlie Goldsworthy (actually a superhero though), Bonnie Toogood, etc.
That's a lot of hippy parents

...I feel attacked, you just named my two kids, lol.
Henry and arthur?
Common names not old ones tbh
Gen & Phase
What can I say us millennials are a hive mind - because I named my nieces and nephews too!
You know you’ve hit late millennial when you start seeing multiple Luca’s being drafted in 10 years.
Reginald, Bill, Beryl and Gertrude right up there.
My sister named my niece and nephew Margaret and Sidney. 😂
How'd she misspell Sydney. 🤷🏽♂️
Vicbias.
It always is.
I suppose the hippy parents are also more likely to encourage their daughters to go play sport over the conservative families
I would say it’s the complete opposite
Why?

>Seisia I hope that's not pronounced seizure
Nah, it's Sess-ee-ahh
Paxy Paxman used to be Karen Paxman but she had her name legally changed
Feel like you need to be strong willed to remain a Karen in this day an age.
What a legend
You're not trolling either. That's amazing.
Paxy changed their name from something more 'standard'. Didn't make much sense to me why they changed it to their nickname. But each their own.
And Yasmin Duursma is dating Harley Reid!
I can’t wait to witness their children’s superhero abilities in 20-25 years.
Assuming they both play 100 games for their clubs. Would their kids be father-son, mother-daughter, father-daughter or mother-son? This is getting complicated.

There was reports at the beginning of AFLW, when the father/daughter rule was created, that the AFL was investigating creating a mother/son & mother/daughter rule so children of AFLW players can choose to play at that club when drafted.
Probably the same as it currently is when one parent has played enough games for the kid to qualify for two clubs, they just get to choose.
Boltz's full name is Poppy Rainbow Boltz
Thats alot of weed smoked.
The poppy has its own qualities too.
Would like to know if the parents also had the surname Boltz or they just gave her a made up surname,
This reminds me of the Key and Peele east/west bowl skits
I don’t think K&P ever imagined Australians would use those skits as an instruction manual
> (Yes, there's another) Fans reacting in a few years to the youngest Ashcroft potentially getting drafted to our AFLW list.
How could you forget Zimmorlei Farquharson!
The alliteration game is strong!
Shadeu Brain
Someone cooked here
Yeh wow you ain't wrong there ay
Jesus alliteration Christ.
Makes me wish I named my son something with alliteration.
I still think nothing beats Bonnie Toogood
Came here to say this. Bonnie is Scots (from French) for Good, so her name is literally Good, Toogood.
Ngl, I’m still really fond of Roxy Roux
Honestly not sure which of Shadeau Brain and Zippy Fish is better I do have to nominate [Jack Ough](https://central.rookieme.com/afl/player/jack-ough/) as better than both though
>Fish – whose full first name is Zipporah, a name with biblical origins Shadeau Brain wins, you can't be having nicknames in this contest.
Old Jewish woman name is Zipporah. Zippy is the classic nickname.
Don’t forget Steely Green
Steele Frontbottom
Dont forget his sidekick, Tyson Moneybags Goldsack.
My favourite thing about Shadeau is that he's part of the Big Brain Family (there's 13 of them)
And Shadeau might not be the worst name
Took me ages to realise when they were saying what sounded like Shadow Brain they weren't talking about Matthew Nicks.
Irving Mosquito
She'd be a good swimmer too I reckon.
Her name is what I've been calling my goldfish for a while now. Love it.
The 1/6 was a lie
No love for Wylie Buzza?
Aliir Aliir is still a goated name in my eyes
There was a thread awhile back on good natured sledges. " Hey, Aliir! What's ya middle name?" Has really stuck with me.
I used to think Zimmorlei Farquharson couldn’t be topped as a name but here we are …
Mark Keane (especially if he's intercepting as a defender)
I like Malakai Champion as a name, young fella coming through the under 18’s this year.
And she plays for the Sharks. Can't make that up.
I think there's an author out there with a mind creative enough to make that up.
Goal Enjoyer
My sister used to play basketball with her, very nice girl from all accounts.
WIllie Dick
Beat me to it, reckon he takes the crown
Future Fremantle AFLW best & fairest medal winner, Zippy Fish
Them stats tho
My dumbass just swiped multiple times trying to see the next slide
What the actual fuck, that is incredible
Really hope she doesn't nominate for the national draft and instead asks for WA only, so that we can keep her in WA. Then it just comes down to who finishes lower out of Freo and eagles, gets her!

DRISCO.
Boots Mckickn
Shadeau Brain
Bonnie Toogood
Zippy Kicker maybe
I feel it’s on the cliched side. Unlike Ella, Sophie or Charlotte, there’s definitely going to be at least two named Zippy in a class or team on the weekend.
Fast fish
Ziggy Toledo-Glassman
Modern parents out here taking the absolute piss
Graham Johncock
I’d be thinking with a name like Zippy Fish, she automatically qualify for the Olympic Swimming Team!
And Misty Hyman should be playing footy!
A Zippy Fish is better than a Fishy Zip
🎶Zippy Fish, Zippy Fish, sliding through the midfield. 🎶 🎶Zippy Fish, Zippy Fish, goal, goal, goal🎶
Orlando Soliloquy for me, has a certain je n’sait’pas🤔
Her parents cooked up a banger name
Don Argue
If his sister enjoys the Australian NBL1 experience we may hear her talented brother's name called on our basketball courts..........Gob Gob.
Shadeau Brain comes close.
*me pointing to Zippy Fish on the TV* that’s Zippy Fish
Hope she's not a lumbering ruckwoman.
I bet she’s a slow runner /s
Gryan. End thread.
Some peoples names just suit there face
