Head Turning Rugby Player names

Old-school nickname ala Spike and Babe that's favored by some hipster parents.

A name halfway between its old milquetoast image and a more jovial Irish-sounding contemporary one.

A name of multiple identities: a somewhat soap-operatic single-syllable surname, a homonym for the biblical bad boy Cain, and, when found in Japan and Hawaii, it transforms into the two syllable KA-neh.

Quade is a confident, contemporary-sounding name that would fit right in with classmates Cade, Zade, Slade and Jade, boasting the quirky Q-beginning.

Attractive if phonetically confusing; also pronounced exactly the same as the Renault car.
