The List: Double First Names

Friday, May 13, 2011 | 3:20 PM
It’s an off-weekend for AMA Supercross and AMA Motocross, with the weekend’s USGP at Glen Helen tucked in nicely to the off-weekend schedule. After a big trip to Vegas, our staff is feeling a little off, ourselves. And in those lucid moments, we came up with this for The List: The best two-first-name riders we could think of. No order to this list, really, in fact, it barely even makes sense.

Enjoy! And let us know who we left off in the comments section below.

1. Henry Doug

2. Stewart James

undefined
Doug Henry or Henry Doug. Either way they are both first names.


3. Reed Chad

4. Ward Jeffrey

5. Clark Ryan

6. Lawrence Jason

7. Martin Alex

undefined
J-Law also has the honor of having double first names.

8. Ryan Rick

9. Wilson Dean

This is funny. I am surprised at how many there are in MX. Maybe there is some connection to being fast on a dirt bike and having 2 first names. Just like the last Ask Ping where it was decided that being fast on a dirt bike means you are going to have a bunch of female offspring.
I always used to say "Never trust a guy with 2 first names"

The double first name list has often made me think of another list that would be great to make. Has anyone else thought about the number of champions whose first name starts with J or R. Maybe in general those two letters are the most common letters to start a name with, but the number of champs is amazing.
Jeff Stanton, Jeff Ward, Jeff Emig, Jeremy McGrath, Ryan Villopota, Jean Michelle Bayle, Jonny O'Mara, Ryan Dungey, James Stewart, Rick Johnson, John Dowd, Ricky Carmichael, just to name a few.

@ that guy, i here ya bro. Whats up with a JLaw article. Old timers that run places like this & SX.com & Vital all hate Jlaw and try to put a haters halt to topics on JLaw, but i dont care what the old farts think. I like JLaw and his attitude, and want to see articles and interviews on him. He will be riding the Suzuki City 450, teammate to Malcom on the 250 during the Nationals. He will be fast!!

I've been curious about JLaw also, haven't seen or heard much lately...If it's true about the outdoors, that's great - curious to see how he looks on the track.
Funny how they only show 2 photos of the 10 on the list and one of them is Jason. Even the teaser pic that rotates on the homepage is JLaw, not Doug Henry...Good marketing, right there.

Just Look up Jlaw on youtube.com, there is some recent footage of him riding that Suzuki, looks pretty good. Not sure how well his fitness will be though, he looks to be riding so casually and just whipping everyone on the public track.

How about people with two last names?

Which reminds me... a social worker went to a woman's house to talk to her about her nine kids who were all named Leroy. He asked her why she named them all Leroy. She said that when she wants to call them in for dinner, she sticks her head out the door and yells, "Yo, Leroy, time to eat dinner!" and they all come running.

"Yes, but what if you want to call them individually?" he asked.

"I just call 'em by dey last names," she replied.

Stewart as a first name is STUART.

And you know what game is even more fun than this? Seeing how many lites class riders have basic words for last names:

Tickle, Baker, Canada, Champion, Bright, Bright again, Ripple, Rusk...okay, I'm pretty sure there were more of them in years past. I guess now I'll take names that sound sort of like words...Rife/knife; Weeck/week; Lemoine/lemon; Baggett/baguette...

...yup, this is WAY more fun.
