Funny character names

Gobon the Ninha
Spiton the Bard
Snori the bugbear dreams druid - my favourite
Abad Adi'r - a very bad idea

K'Taar Sabrewolf.
Funny 'cause a) in the USA it's spell saber, sabre being the European version, and he carried several sabers/sabres, but had nothing to do with wolves, except for having speed, the name, and being able to track very well at speed (no ranger levels, though).

Makes me wonder if the player was a fan of Killer Instinct.

In a Rifts game, there was an android who had adopted a human name to fit in better. The name he chose was Mack Ross.

And more recently, Danone Yakult the half-elf warlock (Yakult being the name of a brand of bio-active yoghurt, and Danone being the company that makes it).

Doctor Zeus: a classic comic book trope- the hyper-intelligent great ape (in this case, an orangutan)- in an early 1900s Supers game. In keeping with many of his spiritual predecessors, his enlarged brain is visible beneath a glassy dome.

He’s the result of experiments done by Doctor Moreau. Besides his great strength, his main powers are mental- telepathy, mind control, and a bit of telekinesis. But he also has expanded on the work of Nikola Tesla, creating mechanical resonance mines, electric death rays, and so fort.

The name is a play on Doctor Zaius from Planet of the Apes and the Greek god Zeus (because of his love of electrical weaponry.

Sparrowhawk the Wizard. Actually the longest surviving PC in the game that I run. I'll see if I can do anything about that...

Cheers, -- N

We had a Sparrowhawk the Paladin in one of our games many moons ago.

At least I was listening to good music when I was twelve.

I'm sure I'll get into trouble for this but...that's debatable.

Pictured below: My current D&D character named Ego Champiñon, elf Druid (Circle of Spores).

Pomoxis Chrysops: A Jedi type character for the old West End Games' Star Wars RPG. I took the name from an anatomy diagram of a type of fly.

Gunporn Moontree: Made an appearance in a game of Angel I was running. I honestly thought this was just the player's passive aggressive way of telling me he wasn't interested in the campaign but he assured me it wasn't.

My worst was probably "Chief Big Jim Wazooie." (Traveller Barbarian, rank 5.)

I'm one who really hates joke names, except in certain genres... specifically, in WFRP, and in Tunnels and Trolls. I tolerate them in D&D, grudgingly, but that's because, for the last 6 years, have only run D&D as part of open table games.

I have never forgiven the player who named an elven cleric "Elrond Hubbard."

D.R.E.I.D.E.L.: Warforged bardic dervish. Made a song for it.

"I am the Warforged, D.R.E.I.D.E.L.,
Constructed first to pray,
But when it's time to melee
Then D.R.E.I.D.E.L. gets to play!

I'm D.R.E.I.D.E.L., D.R.E.I.D.E.L., D.R.E.I.D.E.L.,
Constructed first to pray,
In battle, battle, battle
My foes shall I all slay!"
