These are my favorites from the British team:
[name_f]Asha[/name_f], [name_m]Brodie[/name_m], [name_f]Bryony[/name_f], [name_f]Caragh[/name_f], Chijindu, [name_f]Eilish[/name_f], [name_m]Frazer[/name_m], Galal, [name_m]Geraint[/name_m], [name_m]Hector[/name_m], [name_m]Jona[/name_m], Karriss, [name_u]Kye[/name_u], Laviai, Mahama, Neah, [name_f]Polly[/name_f], [name_m]Sholto[/name_m], [name_u]Sky[/name_u], [name_u]Tao[/name_u], Zharnel
A couple have sporty name stories:
Imani-Lara Lansiquot, a sprinter, was named after the cricketer [name_m]Brian[/name_m] [name_f]Lara[/name_f]
Bombette [name_m]Martin[/name_m], a skateboarder, was named after her dad’s boxing nickname, Bomber
And the footballer [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] Bronze’s full name is [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] [name_f]Roberta[/name_f] Tough [name_m]Bronze[/name_m]!
I don’t really watch the Olympics so I don’t have anything that interesting but I’ve seen swimmers named [name_f]Kaylee[/name_f] and an Ariarne (not a misspelling of [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f] - her name is Ariarne).
Not necessarily names I like but a couple that stood out to me were…
Luuka- a [name_u]New[/name_u] [name_u]Zealand[/name_u] competitor in the
Women’s Canoe Slalom. (Not sure how correct this is but the commentator mentioned something about her parents liking the name but wanting it to look more feminine)
[name_f]Precious[/name_f]- a competitor in the Men’s Nigerian Basketball team.
I’ll definitely take more notice and come back to this topic if I see anymore.

I love the Olympics. It always amazes me that I can get so invested in sports that I know absolutely nothing about (and most of the time barely understand lol!).
Was interested to see a Russian male [name_f]Karen[/name_f] earlier. Also seen some great word names like [name_u]Gift[/name_u] (m) and [name_u]Divine[/name_u] (m).
