Default Worst Ballplayer Names?

Some time ago we had a thread about the best player names/nicknames. Might be fun to go the other way: worst or most unfortunate names. This came to mind after looking through Jim's fabulous album of T210s and seeing Mr. Clunk.

So...my nomination for all-time most unfortunate name is
.

.
Clyde Kluttz (though he actually had a .980 FA as a catcher)

Certainly not pre-war, but J.J. Putz comes to mind.

JP, you stole my thunder...I don't know how it gets worse than Rusty Kuntz.

The Mets 3rd base coach last year had a really odd name - Razor Shines.
