[QUOTE="Mark Hope, post: 2167133, member: 27051"] There was a thread about this last summer, iirc. It was actually what prompted me to join Enworld (albeit under a different sn), just so I could share my pain. For some reason, all of my games except for the current one are plagued by daft names. I like to think that I run an intense, serious game and my players like to prove me wrong... Amongst the PC names of the past are such diverse elements as: Acid Popper Caligula Caesar Ustinov the Unthwarted Sister Vulva Deathmace Salladan Frizbee and her brother... Tracheotomy Sharpsword Devastator Frizbee "The Duck" Kiryakov Kalashnikov Binky Spazz Ivan Itdropoff the Medalliognome Melons Stoatpamphlet McDeath Mouse the Starr Capillia Reaction Reversible Reaction Lyman Lemon I through III Gaffaths I through VIII Ferencvaros Kharkov King Kong Bundy (who later became plain old GBH) Cujo the Cavalier Faro-ut (a far-out name, if there was one) Ghut and a dwarf called Noddy. Oh, the joy... [/QUOTE]
