Double Meanings in Character Names

[fusangite]

I've never really thought of English pun-based names. I called one avaricious sorceror Ash Nazg Grimbatul; other characers I've played or GM'ed have constructed their names out of Latin and Greek roots.

 

[Angcuru]

yeah, Mr. One Ring to Find Them must have had a hard time introducing himself.

 

[Lalato]

You mean...
Mr. Wanreng Tufyndem...

--sam

 

[Angcuru]

we're about to see an inverse relationship between the number of stab wounds I give you and the amount of sanity you people show.....

 

[jonesy]

Oh these are bad, but here goes:

Dwarven barbarian Humon Gous.

The great wizard Fy Orbal.

Ogre shaman called Kreyt Helor.

The kender Stolin Praporty.

The valiant knight Ran Awayn Hides.

 

[Trevalon Moonleirion]

My grandmother's character in both AD&D games she played in was Medi the Cleric...not obvious at all...lol.

My pal nathan has had a few just plain odd names in the one-shots we've had--Shemdog Queerdoh, Pendulum... to just name a few.

And now some complete just fun names:

Jack Mehoff
Amanda Hugginkiss
Harry Ballzanja
Hugh Jass
Seymore Butts

and my alltime favorite... i'd love to hear this at a karate tounrament on the PA system...

Will Master James Bashien please report to the center ring? Master Bashien, please report to the center ring.

*goes and hides from eric's grandama*

 

[Dimenhydrinate]

Then there was Darketh

He was a knight...

 

[Bagpuss]

I played a Halfling Ranger called Kurzer Jäger.

Bagpuss is my Nosferatu character its sort of a contraction of "Bag of Puss"

I had a french noble drunk in Flashing Blades called Demi Jean.

That's about it.

 

[Seule]

I just started playing Sergei "Rims" Korsakov in a Spycraft game.

In a D&D game I play in, there's General Electric and the Lamps of Pelor: Four knights named Sir Kull, Sir Loin, Sir Cumference and Sir Prise. Their four squires are named Flint, Steel, Wick and Tallow, for without them the Lamps of Pelor could not burn.
General Electric's horse is named Tungsten.

Very silly.

In one game I ran, I had a couple of NPCs that were lazy sods, who were very minor criminals. They were called Jack Riff and Raff Daniels.

They were my most popular NPCs for the longest time.
