Worse. Character. Name. Ever!!

[tenelo]

My fiance had a memorable pair of rascals in one of the games he ran, or he may have been the player responsible for them, I fail to remember.

Sir Rupert of Norfolk, landed nobility, swordsman, duelist etc.
Chance, the highly competant, extremely dodgy manservant.

Together you get Norfolk'n'Chance (minorly amusing if uttered quite quickly in a northern england-type accent. At least the first time)

My friend Geoff comes up with the worst names, I swear

2nd edition Human fighter with a Brewing proficiency:

Michelle Obe


3rd edition CN Cleric:

McMack PaddyWack



He is smacked on the head often

In Brasil, they wrote Conde (Count) DOKAN on the movie´s subtitles, because Doku sounds like "do cú" in portuguese which means.... well, basically...hum

do = from
cú = the end pipe of one´s intestines, the way out for ex-food...

In the USA we sometimes use "dookie" to mean the same thing. George might as well have named him "Count poo-poo" because that's all I could think of every time I heard his name.

My wife had a halfling cleric named Poppy Gadzooks.

A friend recently ran a cleric named Yitzakh Rabin... a messianic jewish cleric, kosher and following all the religious laws... in Greyhawk and later Mystara. (He's a seminarian so at least he did it somewhat convincingly.)

In my current game, the pot-smoking elf wizard is named H. Ash (aka "hash") after I suggested the player choose something other than Galen IX. I never can remember what the H stands for.

One of my characters was a dwarf named Bosephus ("Bo"). I didn't really mean for him to be a redneck dwarf, but the GM was pressing for a name and that's what popped out...

I had a Synnabar (spelling?) character named: Kashmir. I don't remember his last name, but it didn't make it better.

My first character was in AD&D was Nicodemus, which was my Catholic confirmation name.

My EQ character's name was Damiani (which is MY last name), and the last name was Incantare, which wasn't bad because its Italian for "The Enchanting." The character was an enchanter, of course.

My friend Arravis told me he say an EQ character named Cumbubble once.

I saw an EQ character who was named (now lets see if I can spell it correct):

Mechalechahi Mechahinehineho

(if you can't read it, its the chant from Peewee's Playhouse).

The character was at the Tunnel in East Commons, and the name looked like it went from one end of the tunnel to the other.

Saw a game a friend was DMing where the 4 Gnome PCs were all named in homage for the charactors from the HBO show "The Saprano(sp ?)" . there was.......

Furio a Fighter, Johnny Pecan a cleric, Carmen a Wizard( & her familiar Big Puss) and course the Bard( & party leader) Tony Alto

The fact they all talked in New Jersey Itialian accents ( tainted by their Southern drawls) made it too funny.

Well, not exactly bad, but I play a Archer-Cleric of Solonor Thelandira, the elven God of archers. These clerics are called Hawkeyes. I named him Cal'Do'Hir, a name I have been using in several CRPG's and similar games for some time now.
Then, a couple of weeks ago I stumbled upon a elven name generator which also tells the meaning of the syllables. I found out that Cal means Faith and D(h)o means Hawk....

Also, one of my DM's gave the two big bosses of his campaign (one for the regular part, one for the epic part) all both names with exactly 5 syllables (if he had one in between with 7 he could have written a haiku with them ) - Barreolosum and Careatzunar (spelling might be different). In a short fun-campaign we plaid in between, the bbeg was named Pentasyllabus (for we teased him about the name). My character in that fun-campaign (a Star Elf "LuvMeister" - a sorcerer variant that uses most of the spells from Nymphology) was named Eilmah (of the House) Dryearundlin, which (after that name generator mentioned above) means Blue Mage (of the House of the) Champions of the Lover's Kiss. Eilmah really sounds ugly!
The other two Characters in that campaignette were Obabo (Ogre Bard, with really bad songs) and Osram McLite (a Spectator Beholderkin who could produce light from his Eyestalks). (While McLite should be known, Osram is a manufacturer of light bulbs).

Zarathustra not Zaruthustra is a figure from the work of Friedrich Nietzsche: the title of this work is Thus Spake Zarathustra.

Zarathustra is another way of saying Zoroaster. Zoroaster was the founder of a (monotheistic?) religion that flourished in ancient Persia and still has adherents today. (Note: I don't know much about the religion so I apologize in advance if I've mischaracterized it in any way above.)

The worst character name I've ever seen was taken by a player in one of my campaigns: a magic-user named Thac0 (as in "To Hit Armor Class 0"). So you guys can stop posting your really bad names now as its clear that no other name can compete with this one for sheer badness.

Oh, yeah? How about "Thaco Testosterone," the gun toting maniac? (Actually, since his tommy gun was Intelligent and possessed him frequently, Thaco was a maniac toting gun.)
