[QUOTE="Nuclear Platypus, post: 1638979, member: 17507"] That brings to mind the Simpsons episode with Stampy the elephant. Homer's chasing after Bart (on the elephant) and hits a statue of a deer. Homer: DOH! Marge: A deer. Lisa: A female deer. Sorry. Back to the thread. I admit I've had some odd names but I don't think they were that bad but I usually try to keep a theme going like Rygel and Dargo are Farscape characters, etc. Brother Will (totally forgot what his last name was) - 2E human cleric Klaatu Barada Nikto - 2E kender handler Dante Mephistopheles - 2E human swashbuckler Brother Peldin Thistlefoot of the Order of the Black Lotus - 3E halfling monk Rygel Quinn Dargo - 3E halfling rogue (possibly future arcane trickster or temple raider) Orlando Dimitri Farrell - 3E human cleric (Farrell is continuing a friend's running joke) I do admit I had a string of characters named Dirk the (whatever class) back in Second Edition. All were apparently related too and probably a result of too much Dragon's Lair. The Farrell family was originally all from some hugemongous family that all were named after basketball players like Hakeem Farrell, etc. I do admit I once had a elven cleric named Friar Puck and in an Oriental Adventures campaign I was going to start back in 2E, a player was going to be named Ped Xing.
