[QUOTE="Mighty Veil, post: 3253837, member: 30559"] Dragon Stomper (half-orc mindblade) - a player's PC in one of the 2 campaigns my group is in. Retoad the Retard (magic-user) - years ago, me and a former DM were curious how long a Basic D&D M-U with 3 in all stats could last. Till 2nd level. Various fighters with a name similar to Mad Martigan (of Willow), I created during a time when I was burnt out with playing AD&D. I didn't realize the movie character's name was one word. Cuwulf the Fenris Wolf (human barbarian) - created by myself as a back-up PC in one of the 2 current campaigns. I like the name but realize it is kind of silly. His name is Wolf Wolf the Wolf Wolf. Tigerlynx (fighter, Basic D&D) - One of my more favorite characters from years ago. I couldn't think of a name. I wanted Sabertooth but felt it would be silly to name myself after a comic book villian. Tried thinking of tough sounding cats, and... I later tried to rename him. The character mentioned that Tigerlynx wasn't his real name. When asked what it was, I went blank. And said a dumb name like Blood Death. The other PCs replied: Your parents named you... Blood Death? I replied: Er, yeah. That's why I go by Tigerlynx.... Elfer (elf, Basic D&D) - my 2nd PC ever made. I couldn't think what an elf would be called, so the first name to pop out of my mouth when asked my name was... Jake (saurial, ranger) - I created a saurial playing NPC in an older campaign I ran. I liked the idea of Dragonbait (of Azure Bond fame), so created a saurial. It was left to others to name him. And someone said: We'll call you Jake. Various Transformers and GI Joe names used for Basic D&D and Marvel Super Heroes by myself and other player. Yiddle Diddle (eld, Basic D&D) - another PC in the same game as Elfer. Actually the two got married eventually. I had thought at a later point in this campaign to rename my PC, Questor, after the elf from Gauntlet. But the other player caught wind of this and announced Yiddle Diddle had a new name, and I continued with... Elfer. I am sure in the 20+ years of playing D&D, on and off, that I have heard more weird names. [/QUOTE]
