I'm waiting for the next superheroes game to play Misty Ennay
Blonde, buxom and wearing spandex two sizes too small, her powers will basically involve getting into trouble, screaming for help and in doing so maximising the abilities of all 'red blooded men' in the area to come and get her out of whatever trouble she's in. A stereotype that will no doubt get me shot but I'm hoping it lasts for at least a couple of games.

How about a mysterious hispanic gentleman who roams the astral sea and occasionally acts as a guide. His name is Manuel... of the Planes.
I believe the name should be something like Manuel O. des'Planes.

Reminds me of Indiana Gnome from WG7 Castle Greyhawk.
I actually played a Gnome Ranger...as in, The Gnome Ranger, astride his trusty Giant Space Hamster steed, Mithril.

I once played a rigger in Shadowrun named Rigger Mortis.
Brilliant!
Somewhere in my PDA, I have an unused PC I designed, a Specialist Wizard who concentrates on ranged touch attacks. He also has a few ranks in Perform (Sing). His name?
Ray Orbusson.

I think people sometimes get too fixated about what's "official" to see what they could do with the whole- "David "Zeb" Cook
I never named my characters this. But in our games we tend to lovingly refer to the NPC's as Redshirts, and one in particular I aptly named Charles Annon Fodder. Or C.Annon Fodder.
I like playing halflings and gnomes because they need to have long, silly names. My gnome locksmith/exterminator (he was a poor honest businessman who learned rogue skills like trapmaking, lockpicking, etc.) had the name Bayleyburgle Fiddlewick. The name isn't particularly belly-busting funny, but after awhile other players started massacring the name just for fun..."Okay, Baleybiddlebarleybagel, what'ya doing?" And my group is particularly merciful considering what you can attempt to rhyme with Fiddlewick.
My friend Pavel's first DnD character was named Chip.
He was a monk.
Fortunately for the rest of us, this was in the days of 1E where most of the DM's in our communal group killed about one PC per weekend. With a name like that, Chip was doomed from the start.
Count me in the camp of "it doesn't count cuz I'm gonna do it..."
My group is running a meatgrinder this summer. I may go through a dozen characters in the next few months. I have two already named, a lovable tinker gnome warlock named Spetzle, and a huge bag of hit points fighter named Meat.
The rest are ALL going to be named after pharmacuticals.
