How about a halfling islander bard named Daplane Boss.

A friend of mine had a Shadowrun detective named Mack Truck, and once played a blonde bimbo stripper named Baby O'Baby.

Heck, I invented Atlatl Jones, and it never occurred to me that the name was a reference to M.A.S.H. either! I thought I just invented the name out of my head. I guess my subconscious is an insane genius.

In game, Atlatl Jones' former master was Catapult Jones, from the line of Trebuchet Jones.

There's a fine, well, non-existent line between my joke and serious names.

The same could be said for the line between your joke and serious characters, Mr. "Ancient Egyptian God of Mexican Wrestling"
