One was a nice fellow who always told me I was the greatest GM he'd ever played with. Kinda hard to come down on a guy like that when he brings in his fifth PC (because his play style kept getting his previous PC's gutted like trouts) and names him something inspiring like Bob. He had a Dave, Bill, and the best one was Joe the Figther. It damages the roleplaying when players are addressing him by these utterly mundane names so the other players took to calling him by nicknames and he really appreciated it because the other players were bright enough to appeal to his ego. His final incarnation (before a sick relative forced him to move to a different state) was the half orc fighter named Joe, who everyone called Crunch due to the greatclub he specialized in.My all time best experience with silly names was a great roleplaying shtick by a player who is still in my games after nearly a decade of gaming. He played a rouge who would adopt a new name for every town he entered. He would keep a list and the other players would just write down what they were supposed to call him in that town. It became so much fun that the other players would help him come up with names to be used in specific locations. Things like Chip when in a forest village (for chipmunk), Dipper (while in a port city), Fleet (once when travelling on a merchant's cog between towns). This character was a riot. Unfortunatly he met his end by being rended into bite sized pieces by a Moss Troll in the Reelio Jungle... poor whositwhatsit.</blockquote>
