Tangentially I suppose Mario Lemieux could be considered.
Le mieux literally translating to “the best.”
ETA: Which he certainly was for a number of seasons.
Dick Fosbury the high jumper.
Woosh? The Fosbury flop was named after him.
Willie Wood(no sniggering at the back) former indoor and lawn bowls world champion.
Sandra Schmirler, the curler.
There are two other Willie Woods, whose names also could fit their sports:
Golfer Willie Wood
Pro Football Hall of Fame free safety Willie Wood (“bringing / laying the wood” refers to a hard hit in football)
If you are going to bring up curlers, what about Marcel Rocque? Also there is a Kelsey Rocque (third cousin to Marcel).
The Grappler, pro wrestler

Unless that’s the name he was given at birth, doesn’t count.
Otherwise, Home Run Baker would qualify.
I know was just having some fun
How about
Luke Rockhold, UFC
Ted Turner, Sailing (as in you have to turn the boat)
Was Gary Player (golf) mentioned?

Josh Outman, baseball pitcher who once threw a no-hitter.
The Canadian Football Hall of Fame has some gems:
Len Back
John Bonk
Ed McQuarters
Lui Passaglia

Last time we did this, I suggested NFL kicker Ryan Longwell.
Dave Philley of the Phillies, for the win.
One of the best names for an offensive lineman ever. 
[clueless derp] It would be even better if the team is based in Philadelphia. [/clueless derp]
