Some great names in the major leagues. Some just roll off the tongue. Others conjure an image, often not flattering. Some make me smile.

After examining all 30 big-league rosters, these are the 10 best baseball names I came up with … and the competition was fierce.

10. Rocky Cherry, pitcher, Baltimore. His given name: Rocky Ty Cherry. Either way, he sounds like something on the Baskin-Robbins menu.

9. Coco Crisp, outfielder, Boston Red Sox. Continuing with our diner theme. Given name: Covelli Loyce Crisp. Yeah, I’d go with Coco, too.

8. Angel Pagan, outfielder, New York Mets. Like, make up your mind: Saint or sinner?

7. Kosuke Fukudome, outfielder, Chicago Cubs. Provide your own joke. Just be careful in your pronunciation.

6. Boof Bonser, pitcher, Minnesota Twins. Can’t blame this on his parents, who gave him the names John Paul. “Boof” had it legally changed in 2001, presumably the same day he got a tattoo and tried to enlist in the merchant marine.

5. Evan Longoria, infielder, Tampa Bay Rays. We’re tempted to call him Evan “Almighty” … but what is more amusing is that he’s one letter away from being a Desperate Housewife/Mrs. Tony Parker.

4. J.J. Putz, pitcher, Seattle Mariners. OK, sure, he pronounce it “pootz,” but, geez. Reminds me of the former San Bernardino Spirit (California League) manager, Ralph Dick, who later changed his name to Ralph Dickenson. Honest. … “J.J. Putzenstein.” That might work.

3. Milton Bradley, outfielder, Texas Rangers. What were his parents thinking? Have to assume they were huge board-game fans. Or were playing Monopoly the day he was born. It’s nutty. As if shrink Joyce Brothers had named her kid Parker Brothers.

2. So Taguchi, outfielder, Philadelphia Phillies. Sure, it’s a totally legit name in his native Japan, but every time I hear it I chuckle. “You are SO Taguchi!” Not just Sorta Taguchi. “How come he couldn’t get that guy out?” “Because he’s Soooo Taguchi.” I’m easily amused.

1. Callix Crabbe, infielder, San Diego Padres. This name is just SO great. Sounds like the villain in a James Bond movie. “Your attempt at world domination is finished, Callix Crabbe!” There’s a long A in his first name, which may be derived from the Greek name Calix, which means “handsome.” But who knows. His full name: Callix Sadeaq Crabbe. I’d go by Callix, too.

Honorable mention: Lastings Milledge, outfielder, Nationals; Wily Mo Pena (the most descriptive name in ball), outfielder, Nationals; Denard Span, outfielder, Twins (full name: Keiunte Denard Span); Huston Street, pitcher, Athletics (as opposed to his arch-rivals, Dalas Boulevard and Lubock Avenue); Scott Dohmann, pitcher, Tampa Bay (Homer Simpson’s favorite player); Gil “Ga” Meche, pitcher, Royals (an epic name, for sure); Robinzon Diaz, catcher, Blue Jays (now that’z a zilly name); Adam “Don’t Call Me Pacman” Jones, outfielder, Orioles.
