Actually their was a guy in the NHL named Espen (Espen Knutsen) last year, but he was released and went back to Norway.
why sad? all names are MADE UP at some point just some were MADE UP longer ago than others Rocket River
Yes, and most names from long ago have meanings, too. But whereas something like, oh, I dunno... "Arthur" means "noble", "ESPN" means "Entertainment Sports Programming Network". Yup.... sad.
If I had 3 kids I would name them control, alt, and delete and if they ever get out of line I'd hit them all twice and it would take care of everything.
how about this... ....when your 4 year old son looks at you randomly across the dinner table and says, "THIS IS SPORTSCENTER!'
three of my cousins are named ... chevy, harley, and lincoln. so i don't think of espen as all that bad. one of my friends, while being drunk, found it appropriate to blurt out to a room of strangers - "HEY EVERYBODY, LOOK HERE, ARE YOU LOOKING??? GUESS WHAT -- YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS -- BUT, but ...umm, what was i saying...OH YEAH - chad's cousins names are Chevy, Harley, and NAVIGATOR!!!" yeh, just a random story outta 3814's vault.
actually ESPEN is a pretty common name in scandinavian countries...I've heard a pretty good GoalKeeper from a scandinavian country named Espen Johnsen...I think he's norwegian
