We had a character in one game named Darmok. He had horses named Tenagra, with a number after it, and they kept dying - so Tenagra 12 would die, and he would buy Tenagra 13, and so on.
In a D20 Modern one-off, I played Dr. Leonard McCoy - but played up the fact that the coincidence of his name annoyed him.
And we frequently have characters named anachronistic and racially incorrect things like Bob the Dwarf or Frank the Ranger, but that just kinda happens sometimes when people lack a particular inspiration for their character, I guess.
