By Any Other Name

I think that if I was a Brazilian soccer star and was going to be one of those guys that went by their first name only, I would most likely embellish "Fred" a little. Maybe Frederico? Even Freddie would sound better. I'm sorry but "Fred" just doesn't reek of fear and respect. Maybe the thought process is to lull the other team into a state of relaxation before "Fred" suddenly emerges with a shot on goal ..... Instead though I'm visualizing Fred Flintstone. Maybe that cartoon was never televised in Brazil?
