Hmmm...well there was the halfling known as "Shane Greenbottle, Demon Lord of the Abyss"...
There was a living construct named Galatea...
Bilun the cleric, who died by poison and swelled up to the shape of a balloon.
I'm playing Rayni, also known as Araynia the Evil Death Warlock of Doom (a very friendly Chaotic Good character who gets upset when people get hurt)
There was a guy name Rod who was obsessed with rods.
Then there was one campaign where every player and their animal companions had similar names that started with 'A' I got so confused. You would too if you had to sift through Aviur, Ariki, Ali, Amairgen, Avran, etc

that's pretty funny The first character I ever played was a basic edition dwarf named Orc.
castle guard: Who goes there?
Dwarf: Orc.
castle guard: W-what? Orcs?!?
I was 9 years old; it seemed like a good name at the time.
I had a 2nd-edition human fighter named Fathom the G*dd*mn Snuffbox King. Long story.

The worst PC name I ever had was a gnome called Filchbatter... Sadly, I chose the name from the list of typical gnome names in the 3.5 PHB.

I hate joke PC names in serious games
I once ran a group in which 3-4 players thought it would be funny to bring rowdy, drunken dwarven, brewmasters with joke names into my, fairly serious, game. I didn't notice that the names were jokes when perusing the character sheets as I was more worried about the glaring omissions on stats
(um. . . does your character have a base attack? Does this full plate change your PC's armor class at all? Screw It! You didn't write clothes on your character sheet: your dwarf is naked until he finds some clothes)
The only one I remember was Drunkov Myaz. The player fell asleep and when another player's character rolled his naked, drunken dwarf monk off the back of the wagon and out into the snow of the Himalayas, I asked what he wanted to do. He didn't respond. Drunkov froze to death and the murderess got xp.
That murderess was played by my now-wife, who DMed RttToEE for a frind and me. I played two dwarves: Bael and Taklinn. She would get flustered, forget their names, and call them "Bait & Tackle."
