Cornelius Lycett is one name I quite like.

He is a BBC Racing correspondent and regularly pops up on Radio 5 Live.

Even better, his surname is actually spelled Lysaght.

I always thought of him as "Jamie" even when he was going through the phase of being a professional "James". (Like I never think of Charlie Hazlewood as "Charles")
Was listening to Jamie on The World Tonight to get an update on the King.

I don't know about the media, apart from the fact that it reported football, but in the Euro 2000s there was Cocu, Totti and Windass in one tournament, and if it had been the World Cup they would have had Titi Camarra who, I think, played for Nigeria. And then there was, many years ago, that French rugby international called Condom. I imagine not very much got past him.
Sorry about repeating my post. I corrected a spelling mistake and was unable to get rid of the original post.
