I was over on digg.com yesterday and found this very popular item about a soldier that, according to the writer, had the ‘Most Hardcore Male Name’ ever.

Lieutenant-General Sir Manley Power (1773 – July 7, 1826) was a British military leader who fought in a number of campaigns for Britain and rose to the rank of Lieutenant General. He is chiefly remembered for leading a brigade of Portuguese troops under The Duke of Wellington in the Iberian Peninsular War.

Not bad but not great. I can blow this guy out of the water with my choice for ‘Most Hardcore Male Name’ ever. Not only is this guy still alive, he is very famous. If you are Canadian or follow the Olympic Doping Scandals closely, then you will recognize him.

Ladies and gentleman, I give you Dick Pound.

Now if that name is not hardcore, then what the hell is? If you agree with me then Digg this article. Manley Power has received over 6000 Diggs thus far. Please see that my nomination surpasses Manley Power.

I mean come on people…this is a no-brainier.

This guy was the former head of the Olympic Anti-Doping Agency. His was always in the public spotlight. I heard through the grapevine that he has signed on as the new pitchman for Viagra. I can see the slogan now:

Dick Pound on Viagra.
