Here is the list of names that players have punished me with over the years (taken from the last thread that we had on this topic). 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
Hiro Protagonist (a rip-off, as I later learned)
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)
and a dwarf called Noddy.
As for myself, I had a Warhammer character who was a wood elf bounty hunter. I named him Clint Elfwood. He was very cool. My GM refused to allow him to grow stubble, unfortunately...

We actually haven't had any egregiously bad PC names that I can think of...
Although our very first campaign, we all did use our IRC usernames for our character names, some of which were very obviously not actual names. Most of the characters were eventually dropped for one reason or another, but we still have a cleric of Pelor named Ascii hanging around. (He considered adopting a new name once we learned better, but finally decided that as the sole continuing character, he might as well keep the name.)
NPCs are another matter entirely, however. We've had:
An Elven surfer cleric of Pelor named Crashing Waters
A group of Orcs named Clank, Crunch, Clang, Generic, and Crush
A no-armed Orc named Bash
A pair of Half-Orc brothers named Guts and Glory
A Half-Orc secretary named Sledge Warhammer
An Elf named Pointy Belltoes
And similar names. Our DMs have an inhuman love of puns. I'm also not sure if the time our Ranger was put on trial by most of the characters of Half-Life counts or not.
Peace & Luv, Liz

lol, what are the odds of that terrible name sticking twice?jasin said:... did we ever play together?
But apparently not. Our ranger just stuck with Himo, so your story is better that way.
Man, now I'm going to have to use that for an NPC in my games, haha.
Okay, this had me loling, hahaha! I'm so gonna have to use that one.jasin said:

I built an NPC villain for a SAS game by the name of THACO -- I believe it stood for Technological-Humanoid Artificial Combat Organism, or something along those lines.
The same game had a street level villain by the name of "Black Leaf"; she was a former gamer who had lost her mind and thought she was her character.
But then, I'd bet a lot of games have had a thief by that name at one time or another.
