"It's a joke name, sir."

[Mark Hope]

Hmm, found another one from my campaign hall of name-shame. Had to go digging in an old binder for this guy as, for obvious reasons, I couldn't remember it off the top of my head...

The Soulkicker Drakmar Kranmar Kalanyin, Lord of Glantri, Hero of Haven, Balrog Deceiver, Slayer of Gorgimera, Defeater of Death, Blessed by Dragons, Hero of Northending, Vampire Killer, Carrier of the Egg of the Phoenix, Slayer of Shadow Dragons, Slicer of Hezrou, Lich Bane, Eradicator of the Wormplague, Walker through the Arches of the Infiniverse, Seducer of Succubi, Deceiver of Blackwing, Walker of Worlds.

We just used to call him Soulkicker.

I had a Son of Ether whose name I stole, which was Dr. Clark Savage IV, Man of Iridium!

Grandson of Clark Savage Jr, Man of Bronze.
Son of Clark Kent Savage III, intrepid war journalist, Man of Steel.

I know two girls with weird names: Secret and Destiny. Their last names don't add to the humor, but they get mad when you ask why they got named that lol.

My Uncle knew a guy named Peter Eitor (yes, pronounced eater). He felt bad for him, but made fun of him anyways.

In my games, my players have a hard time coming up with good names, and even when I reject their name the other players still call them that and it is all they respond to so it continues being their name. Some examples include: Sunny D, Mister Bate who demanded to be called Master instead of Mister, Cookie, Vash (from trigun, which isn't that bad a name), and platapus.

Rad the Bard
a halfling thief named Lupin
Mathias L. Jackson
He-Shang Shadowlord (generated by the Character Builder program from included with the PHB), which might not have seemed out of place if he weren't a NG cleric of Heironius. At some point, he retroactively named the character to Bill-Shang, but we called him He-Shang anyway.

Carak Killian, but that sounded too much like "Carrot Killin'" and we laughed so hard he had to change it (to what, I don't recall).

a gnome wizard with about 10 names, though I only remember the last three: Hallop Ensu Nabin. We called him Ensu.

In a games I DMed, one player named his character's arch-enemy after me.
I refused to let a player name his character Charlton Heston, so he put in his backstory that he had been bullied by two kids named Charlton and Heston (which I allowed).

A trans-campaign running joke in my high school group was the Verbing Orc chain. At one point, the group went to a character's hometown, and the player decided that the tavern was called The Singing Orc. As I recall, there really was a (badly) singing orc in the tavern, and for that reason the thieves guild made its hideout there, because nobody else in his right mind would subject himself to that awful singing. Anyway, from then on, the first inn or tavern visited in every town was called The (verb)-ing Orc. There was a Dancing Orc, a Fighting Orc, etc. There was also a Jumping Orc, owned by a half-orc, who half-jumped. There was even a Chandelier-Swinging Orc.

There was also an outt in one town. It's like an inn...well, you get the idea.

I remember a druid named Justin Thyme

Notanelf Butadwarf (I can't belive this one was even allowed)
Wesley Roberts (Mine actualy, a Pirate in a Star Wars game)

R.H. Smith (Elf Ranger)

Now, I've also encounted some real names.
People with the first names Dicks***z and Nimrod come to mind.
I had a Biology teacher named Mr. Lay who named his daughter Anita
