Worse. Character. Name. Ever!!

Hi there!

Even Darth Vader, who always sounded pretty cool, was no doubt called this because he was an invader)

I seem to recall George Lucas stating that Darth Vader was derivative of 'Death Father'...which I actually though was pretty cool.

Back when I was just learning to play Basic D&D, a friend had a series of thieves named Slither, Slither I, Slither II, and Slither's Brother.

Another friend had series of halfling characters named Bilbo, Cilbo, Dilbo, Filbo, Gilbo, and so on. I forget just how far through the alphabet he got before we made him stop.

And I had a Paladin named Duncan Do'Nought

Back in the early nineties, we had a player who was obsessed with IBM (his father worked for the company). IBM had just come out with their new OS, so this guy named his character Owis Tutupino (O/S 2 2.0).

Bob Fernow. (When asked his name, he said "Bob, for now, because I can't think of a good one"... He was forever more dubbed Bob Fernow. The Fernow clan has spread far and wide, existing in every game setting we ever have gamed in... Most of the men are named Bob (though not all), and the women are named Betty more often than not.

A druid in our current game started off with the name Bubbles....

As a DM, this is one area where I insist on VETO rights. A few of my players have tried to slip stuff through - in good fun, but it's one of the only areas I am really picky with. We do enough joking at the table that I'm afraid goofy names would throw every shred of suspension of disbelief out the window.

I took a few names from Life of Brian back in the day. I'm ashamed to admit I once played a half-elf fighter/magic-user named Biggus Dickus.

Heehee, did your fellow players and GM give you pain over it?

I'd hate to be the person introducing you to other people

One of my friends had a deep gnome fighter named "dough boy" he played him as a hip hop gang banger too, in a greyhawk setting.

Another time we were starting a new first level campaign and our characters were meeting in a bar, I was playing a human fighter and I turned to the drow PC and said "so what's your name?" To which the response was "You don't know!" This dumbfounded me for a second and I clarified in character "I'm asking!" The PC sputtered for a second and finally came up with "Grosso!"

My brother came up with a half-orc fighter with the name Garrok Lawn-Mower.
