an even more difficult question is which one is the most convincing, "normal" name.
Dean Wesrey?Kevin Nogilny?

i think it's dean wesrey. i haven't heard Wesrey before, but it wouldn't give me much pause. kevin nogilny would raise an eyebrow

Thirteen years in the pros took its toll on Darryl Archideld. He's known the blues. With his new release, _Pepper That Pill_, on the Gripsox label, Archideld shares the blues with those who've been closest to his heart... the fans. "I felt like it was time for me to show the world who the real Dapper Darryl is." Don't be surprised if you find a farmer of the heart in this Archi"dell"! (street date 6/23)

"I want to be clear," said Mr Gride, "that these allegations are totally false. The good people of Dratter Flatts have welcomed me into their heart and and I take my responsibility to this community as seriously as I do playing shortstop for your beloved Flattworms. As this trial continues, I think it's going to be made abundantly clear that the only thing I'm guilty of, besides playing my heart out on the diamond, is being a good husband to my wife Grisdedelda and a loving father to all three of my legitimate sons: Bittles, Antwerp and Jeromy Junior. Respectfully, Miss Cantlizlip's demands for paternity testing are entirely out of order. And we're going to prove that." He then flashed the famous "Gride Grin" and reentered the courtroom.

In retirement, Anatoli Smorin was forced to confront that most human of conundrums. Having succeeded, what now? Eight million dollars earned over a twenty year career as the fan-favorite second baseman for the Possum Grape, Arkansas Dimbiddlers had made him a rich man. But it had not made him happy.
"I try drugs, deep sea fishing, cosplay, death metal band. All of it, wasted. So much money and time." He errantly kicks the pile of sawdust on the ground, his eyes clouding over in remembrance. "Recording industry more corrupt than baseball even. So I leave Arkansas. It not easy; I had come to love Arkansas ways and they have been so welcoming to me and my family. But something had to change. So I move to your Vistconsin. I buy four thousand acres, virgin land. First virgin thing I ever have, no?" Smorin's booming laugh echoes from some far-off mountain.
"I get mobile home. I park in field. I start to explore my land. That is when this forest, it speak to me." Anatoli's grin widens, showing gaps between teeth in the back of his mouth. "Long green everywhere, spread out over how you say VALLEY. Untouched for centuries, waiting for real man to arrive and show woods discipline. You Americans have word for this man? You call him lumberchuck. I recognize this American spirit, I hear it in my bones." Anatoli hefts his axe from one burly, ginger-befurred shoulder and plants it nearly a third deep in a mute pine. "Was only baseball that stop me from potential. I was lumberchuck all along."
