I'm not a big fan of cantonese pop music, but discovering that there was a group called 2R helped. I had hoped that the Olympics had a specific stick-man picture for decathlon, but apparently not, so I reverted to Daley by default.Daley Thompson AG2R La Mondiale??
The biggest hit from that 'Zoom' album was 'Easy (Like Sunday Morning)', the only record for a slow dance that they had at the local youth club when I was of an age that such things were important to me.EF Education-NightshiftPost??

Here's a new category; teamnames that can be turned into a rebus:
TBF, I think it's a rather small category. In fact, if anyone can come up with others, feel free to do so. And, no; just using sponsor logos doesn't count!

But how is the letter phi supposed to be EF? You could at least have mirrored the letter!

I am currently watching episode 3 of 'Cunk on Earth', on which she says of Jean Jacques Rousseau, "he had a name so French that he may as well have been called Pierre Baguette". So I guess that is where the team got its name from...Here's a new category; teamnames that can be turned into a rebus:

Shouldn't his name have been Christian-Etienne, then?Returning the thread to its original purpose:
I don't think I had had my attention previously drawn to Charles-Etienne Chretien. Not only the delight of a forename and family name that rhyme with each other (my French teacher might not agree), but also a family name that is the contraction of the two given names.
That would have been even better,, indeed.Shouldn't his name have been Christian-Etienne, then?
That would have been even better,, indeed.
On the subset that is rhyming forenames and family names, I don't think Nienke Vinke has been mentioned yet.
This young lady deserves a shout-out!

Sounds like a character from children's book, and I mean that with absolute love!

After TDU stage win, first race, his name is very cool!!Isaac Del Toro doesn't count as a cool name? What gives..
'Nacho' is just a familiar form of 'Ignacio' (which is his actual, legal name). It's super common in Spanish-speaking countries. This is a bit like saying 'Ben O'Connor? So cool, just like the Big Ben!'
Also, Ben is how you say "leg" in Danish, what a hilarious name for a cyclist.
Sure, if Ben as a name is exotic to you. Isn’t that quite common, that exotic names are more interesting?'Nacho' is just a familiar form of 'Ignacio' (which is his actual, legal name).
