[QUOTE="babomb, post: 2169004, member: 1316"] 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. [/QUOTE]
