[Opinions] Bully
I agree about Luca Toni! I'm sure the footballer's name is what they were aiming for, since he's popular in Germany, too!As for Bully, I'm sure it's supposed to honor a famous German contemporary comedian, Michael "Bully" Herbig.

The English word "bully" doesn't exist in the German language, although it's being used more often now with the English meaning due to English/American influences.
There is the word "Bulli", though; the nickname of the Volkswagen Type 2 bus.
And then, of course, we still have the word "Bulle", meaning bull ...
But even for Mr. Herbig, this is a very rare name in Germany and can probably be traced back to him in every occasion!
