Well this is a bit of a cheat as I am actually playing this character... I have a low impulse resistance what can I say.

Mennet Ourk, Drow paladin ... he comes from a land down under, complete with awful attempt at ozzie accent.

I have a desire to play Shakar Khan the dragonborn warlock.

and here is a medley of the stupid surnames I have introduced my long suffering wife with
Mrs Teater
Mrs T Lope
Mrs T Matter
Mrs Curr
Mrs Chovey
Mrs Gull
Mrs Narky
Mrs Imal


Her name is Ann if you hadn't already guessed.

I keep threatening to play a halfling whose family owns a large orchard: Justin Ciderbottom.

He has two brothers, named Dustin and Dickens.

Formerly the chief of a band of desert nomads, the bard Sheikh Yerbodi now wanders the wastes of my imagination waiting for a chance to appear.

Heaven help the person who tries to include me into a campaign based on The Tale of Desperaux or similar source material.

...for I shall play "Hawaii" Feivel Mousekewitz, a Russian mouse who emigrated to the islands and became a macho detective.

This doesn't count, as I have no intention of using it. Ever

During a gaming session one weekend that I didn't know about until an hour before it started, I wound up DMing. Since I was busy planning an impromptu campaign, I told the players to just make whatever characters they wanted and I'd find a way to work them in. One of them asked if they could have their rogue worship a non-core deity, and I said yes, thinking "What the hell, it's just flavor text for his class". The result?

A 300 pound halfling rogue named Little Debbie who worships the deity Hostess.

This makes me want to create a character named Jimmy Carl Black. He would be the Indian of the group, and would announce himself as such at random intervals.

Ok, I'll throw a couple out there:

Rouge named Distal Philanges (look it up in an anatomy textbook)
Halfling barbarian named Figgen Yooge (ok, so I actually played him)
Paranoia character named Sup-R-Fly

For a while I keep threatening to play the pirate/rapper Irate P., the High Seas O.G.

His crew included a wizard named WZA "tha Wizzah", a lizardman named LZA "tha Lizzah" and Ol' Dirty Masthead.

(oh, and at the tiller, Ghostface Tillah!)

Mallus, I would like to borrow that idea because I'm so stuck in a seafaring campaign where we badly need some comic relief as it got way too serious. And the crew's players are all into rap music :-)

Try breaking the name up like this:

One of the players in my currently Pathfinder game plays a summoner, and likes to name his summoned monsters.

His fiendish crabs are Professor Pinch and Citizen Snips, and the dire apes are Admiral Ape and Guerrilla Gorrilla.
