I've been wondering why his parents didn't name him Dan Gable Steveson. My best guess is that they were hedging their bets just in case he grew up wanting to be a Drum Major instead of a wrestler. For a Drum Major, it would be easier to hide the fact that he was named for a wrestler by naming him Gable Dan than the reverse. But if he turned out to be a wrestler, they could proudly point out that he is named for Dan Gable.
