Why do Brazilian footballers have stupid names?

Oh no...

Because they have like 4 names e.g. Ronaldinho = ronaldo de assis moreira, how ugly would it be on a shirt? so he picked Ronaldinho, Kaka his real name is Ricardo something his brother couldnt pronounce his name when he was younger and was calling him Kaka. Robinho has x names (Robson ...) he picked Robinho. Just to let you know they don’t pick these for fun. Probably some does but mostly do not. And its better more unique :)

Magnanimous intelligence, the Brazilians real names are very long. For example, my full name is composed by six different names. The nicknames are used for these situations, and not only to offend other peoples.

They're nicknames. It's not there official names. It's a cultural thing. Makes em' feel good.

When your peers award you a nickname, It means you have arrived. (One of the lads) Get me...!!

People who give themselves nicknames, now they are the idiots.

Ya get me.!!!

Maybe they have stupid names for stupid people ask so stupid question

The Refrigerator, the Crimson Tide, the Grey Ghost, the Gipper, ARod and Babe

And this question shows your intellengnce, or lack thereof. Is this the best you can do?

lol hulk is top class he is coming to Chelsea mate

this from a bloke called sidswank.....lol

desculpe-me ?

they might sound stupid to you (what is your IQ?)

they are great players

There's this one bellend called Hulk and they had prats like Fred and Ronaldinho and other silly stuff. Why don't they use their real names. If Steve Gerrard went by Thor we'd all say he is an idiot so why do we accept it from Brazilians?
