Danger Rangerette. I'm sure I'm not the only one who used that name. She got stoned at 2nd level while trying to help a prisoner escape from a dark cell. (It was a Medusa, of course.) 1E.
Funny character names
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).
In another group, the druid's name translated to river wood fairy or something similar ..
Oh how we messed with him, especially since the player didn't get the joke for a while.

Hmm ... the only one that comes to mind I made up was:
Wobble the Wondrous of Waterdeep
A gnome bard/ranger/wizard.
Nyaricus (Why hasn't he posted in here yet I wonder?) had a great list of five that ran thus:
* Zook Nackle, a curious little gnome sorcerer with a penchant for
alchemical items, explosions and illusions. Has a Weasel familiar
named Scruffy.
* Cora Tealeaf, a halfing rogue who likes to backstab enemies.
* Edgar Allen Polearm, a human fighter who fights with a...
greatsword. He's all power attck, all the time
* Lox Ironbeard is a staunch dwarven cleric of Moradin who fights
with a warhammer and uses spells which help support his allies and
himself.
* Heian Galanodel is a Elven ranger who uses her bow with great
effect against her races ancient enemies - goblinoids.

All these years, all the bad names!
The ones that stand out in my mind are:
Ozzy Ozburne, the elf bard. The same player had a paladin in the WoG that took his name from his hometown, Sir Edward the Glorious of Willip.
One player liked playing monks ALOT. The names of his monks were always some variation of Lo Wang, Long Dong, etc. The same player finally seemed to choose a normal name, Tyvek. While out driving one day through a new subdivision I noticed the brand name Tyvek on the housing insulation.
Currently we have a PC named Spud, whose background includes mean children throwing potatoes at him.
My oldest surviving 1E PC is a human fighter named Northstar.

There was the strange Faerun name craze, when I, perhaps slightly inebriated or tired, declared that the unmasked lord of waterdeep was Palin Paladinson. (As opposed to whatever his name actually is, Peirgeron the Paladinstar or something). This led to at least 5 NPCs being called names such as Durbin Durbinson (the dwarf BBEG), Muxter Muxterson and his brother, Huxter Huxterson, etc. The dwarf in our party was Gruff McDuff, who was though to be Lord Muff McFluff. There was the steady procession of dwarves called Franklin, Jones, or Fred, or some combination thereof. There was the Ewok Yub Yub Gwibjik and his blaster, Jeeboo. Michal Sermon the Minotaur who was afraid of blood, and Brishtol Fendelshtick, who pronounced all his "s" as "sh"
I think I'm the only person in my group not to have made a character with a silly name...
