I was in this game once, where we had this guy playing a human ranger called Sneerglaw. He played this character for about year or so. Then one day while i was out with some friends, we were sitting in a parking lot waiting for a friend to come out of the pharmacy, and the name hit me. Sneerglaw was Walgreens backwards.
Another interesting character was the fat dwarven theif called Sancho who wore a sombrero. Man, that dwarf could do some amazing things. Him and Sneerglaw duked it out one day(long story) up till that point Sneerglaw couldnt hit a wall if his life depended on it, scored two crits on Sancho, who had a backpack full of Greek Fire. The resulting explosion destroyed Sancho, and the bag of holding Sneerglaw had, and sucked Sneerglaw into a waygates dimension with nothing but his skivvies. All that remained of Sancho was his sombrero, in wich our GM said that he would hate to be in the party that finds that Hat.
The last we saw of Sneerglaw, was his skin hanging inside of Good Mutt's Command tent. And trust me Mutt wasnt someone you wanted to mess with, even tho our group was responsible for freeing him, and evil Mutt. The only way Mutt could be killed was by Adam the Paladin, who incedentally was Mutt.
Now that was a good campaign.

It seems I just can't pass up an oppurtunity to share my ever-growing list of goofball names. These are NPC's in my current game, BTW. I mainly DM...
Elspeth Chana-Rama Sutra: accountant and former pirate (then Elspeth Hellion). Manager of the underage brothel The Maison Chatons.
Jack Fancy, Esq.: assassin and dandy, former guidlmaster of the Room Rogue Players. Currently trying to organize a new band of foppish criminals; Fancy's Dancer Brigade (try and picture swashbuckling Mummer assassins, I dare you...)
The Mother Superior Tawny Portal, and the Sister Inferior Eva Longinus: priestesses in the Order of St. Tart's Bodice (who is the Saint of Shamelessness, Most Brazen Servant of Aja Opal Blossom, Goddess of Lovers). Tawny was a former exotic dancer, and Eva a former housewife.
Otto Krovus Ratzinger, aka The Ratblaster: a defrocked priest turned alchemist, now Ordnance Master at Fort Ormond.
Goa Goddard, Apu Tati, Brahma Besson, and Commander Bellesoir: assorted naval officers at Fort Ormand.
The Queen Bitch: Nickname of the transvestite were-dog "priestess" who owns the dockside tavern called The Dancehall in the Blue Light District of Narayan. The tavern is a popular among sailors and cavemen.

I once ran a Forgotten Realms game (as a private joke I say it's still on hiatus, despite we ran it two years ago) where the Fighter/Barbarian of the group was named Darmok, and he named his horse Tenagra. The funniest part was that he kept getting his horse killed, and naming the new one "Tenagra". When we last played, he was on Tenagra XXII, I believe...
He'd charge them into combat (where they'd get cut down from under him), lose them tied up outside while dungeoneering, kill them for food, try to cliff-jump them...
For obvious reasons, he would never want an awakened mount...

I got dice older than you.
My wife had been playing for about 3 months, and I showed her this website: http://www.dungeonmajesty.com/
Go poke around, it's comedy gold. Especially the videos.
Anyway, after seeing it, she decided her character, Alexandra, had too mundane of a name. Her next character was named: Castratia Balzack
My. Wife. Rocks.

Years ago, in 2e, I played a cleric with the fighting monk kit. His real name was pretty plain, but another PC gave him the nickname "Brother Nook-Nook." It stuck.
Another player had a habit of picking bad names. He created one character with the nickname of Smoothie, unfortunately just before the yogurt drink of the same name became popular.

I'm with Arbiter of Wyrms - I so hate joke names in serious games. But I'm not totally against having a bit of fun with names. In one campaign I'm in the GM introduced a halfling NPC named Puffleweis, so when we started a "filler" game, my friend and I decided to play halfling siblings named Weiselpuff.
In a d20 Modern game my sorcerer PC has a rat familiar named Chewie. In a Greyhawk campaign one of the other players named his gnome bird lord Thyrothorus Ludovicianus, which is the Latin name of the Carolina wren. In a recent one-shot I ran a halfling rogue named Jolyon Rodger - aka Jolly Rodger. I did a cod French accent the whole game.
We have a Risus campaign inspired by the movie "Mystery Men" which is the best place for silly names - there are too many to list. We pretty much save up all our silliness for that game.
