Double Meanings in Character Names

[John Crichton]

Once had an elven archer name Nevarmis. I was young and thought it was clever.

 

[Angcuru]

I know I'm gonna catch flak from blackshirt for this....

Johnny the Homicidal Maniac.

need I say more?

 

[Lalato]

Hey... actual comic book characters don't count.

 

[Angcuru]

I KNEW he stole that from somewhere.

Dwarf with a Tengu Mask, a rocket launcher, murderous tendencies, and Terrets?

 

[Elder-Basilisk]

I did pregens for a beer and pretzels type of dungeon crawl once.

They all ended up with names like:
Don John Crowler (fighter)
Basil Le Vez (dwarf fighter)
Ilfindem Ferya (ranger)
Sehrgut Musikspieler (bard--I could get away with more if I didn't use english

I try to avoid that kind of thing in serious games.

I told you that I misappropriated the name Johnny the Homicidal Maniac from a comic.

Just be glad I didn't make a character named Filler Bunny.

Angcuru had a shapeshifter named Pholus.

 

[Gizzard]

I chose LoFan to be the name of my Monk. I'm not sure exactly how insulting that term is now, feel free to chip in on the issue if you speak Cantonese.

 

[Angcuru]

I said it before and I'll say it again, DREW! A phallus is a symbol of masculinity! A GUN COULD BE A PHALLIC SYMBOL! It does not mean a dong!

Pholus - Phallus.....damn you are sick-minded!

 

[blackshirt5]

IIRC, I wasn't the first one to call that character Phallus. I was just the one who laughed the hardest.

The dubious honors of being the first goes to Chris Schlagger.

And you've had other names too. I won't even bring those into the discussion.
