CBS.comIn addition to invoking a fabulously gay Village People song, we€™re also reliably informed by this name that its bearer is both €˜Randy€™ (which you€™d have to be) and €˜Savage€™ (which you probably shouldn€™t be).

Now, to go out in front of thousands of screaming fans and proclaim yourself to be a €˜randy savage€™ is bad enough on its own. Throw a Village People song in there too and you can just give up right now...
