"It's a joke name, sir."

Back in the 1E days, had a guy playing a jester (a class from Dragon Magazine) named Beau Zoediclaun.

But, generally speaking, most of my players are pretty good about making appropriate names.

I had to put the kibosh on both Dick Fitzwell and Dick Zenormous.

What? No Phil McCracken?

 

[Gentlegamer]

"He has a wife, you know . . ."

 

[Gentlegamer]

What? No Phil McCracken?

or Pat McGroin?

"He has a wife, you know . . ."

"Incontinentia Buttocks..."

I just tell the player to choose another name, regardless if it's a silly on or a 'too mundane' one; some mundane ones might fit, some might not.

 

[BiggusGeekus]

"Like Biggus Dic..."

I hate names even resembling that.

I went to school with a girl named Mary Christmas... her sister's name was Holly - I think that the parents should have been shot!

How unfortunate to be either one of them... after all, Christmas only comes once a year.

My sister went out a few times with a guy named Gamble Lynn Money. I've seen sillier names in real life than in any game I've been in, sadly.

Me too. A friend of mine dated a guy in college for about a year whose name was Dallas D. Dallas. Guess what the middle D was for? Yep, you got it. Dallas.

Hopefully he didn't have a sister named Debbie D. Middle D for Does...

Yeah, I also know a David David and his grown son, David David Jr. That's just not nice.
