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 :-)
Sure. I'd be flattered. Glad to know someone will get to use them.

I once slipped in an NPC named Captain Antoneel. Obscure enough that nobody got it. Kind of Marshall Willenholly, if you will.
Very cool, very 70s - I like those both!
I had a friend who had an Inish PC in a Swashbuckling Adventures/7th Sea game named Paddy O'Furniture.
I was going to name a Jack Bauer inspired NPC in a d20 Modern game Jack Knauf, but later thought better of it...
And I've always wanted to write an adventure where the GM has to use the phrase, "Roll a Spot check to determine if you can see Mike Hunt." when an NPC of that name is hiding from the PCs...
Okay I'm going to grow up now...

Do it! Do it! DoitdoitdoitdoitdoitDOIT!
(And make sure someone is taking a swig when you do...)
Angela Mercy - the holy paladin
Alsvel Tattensfell - the eternal optimist
Fletcher Lansbury - the great detective
Doodah Day - the halfling racetrack bookie
Effie Qualsemay - a forceful kinda gal
The New York Times (no stranger to writing about the Prez) says that the name "Barack Obama," when read aloud by the Kindle's computerized text-to-speech system, sounds something like "Brack Alabama."
I now wish to have a campaign in which an important NPC is named Brack Alabama.
The campaign I'm gearing up to run won't work with the name as a world leader- which would, of course, be ideal- because its a supers campaign set in 1912.
A bodyguard, perhaps? One in the Brock Samson mold?
I had a great idea for a character yesterday: Eldritch Cleaver. He's a founding member of the Dead Panthers (a necromancer's power/self -defense organization) and the author the tome Soul in Gem.
