Worse. Character. Name. Ever!!

[Pants]

Ugh. Here's some fun ones that have appeared in some of the games I've been in.

Dreezle Treehugger - a Dwarven Druid. He was my character and even I hated him.
Leath - A Half-Elven NPC in one of my campaigns. Not really a bad name, but then I found out that it was also the name of a furniture store.
Cornelius Fudge - A character that was created for a Cthulhu game that never got off the ground. The funny thing was, he was a doctor. [Insert Pornstar joke here]
Karkass - Your stereotypical Half-Orc barbarian. The group officially renamed him Smelltore and Corpse # 1.
Drizzit Dudden and Brundor BattleAxe - Two characters from my Icewind Dale 2 game.

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!"

LoL

"Grosso" in portuguese means "wide" and "rude" (it depends on the way you use it).

The worst I've seen professionally has to be Count Dooku.

Now, THIS IS GREAT.

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...get it?

So "Conde Doku" would be like "The count from"...well, you know it.

Man, we had a laugh that day after I figured out why Dokan was written on the screen, even tough the character kept calling that guy Doku...

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

Ah, yes... Nietzsche. I recently wrote a paper summizing his philosophies for my now-finished English class. Guy's got some good ideas and points, but he is, well...kinda bitter. Kind of like how I'd be if I had no modern-day morals and got REALLY pissed off at the world. Some of you who've read my various postings from my early days on ENWorld can only imagine what that is like.

There was a player I knew who had this butt-kicking foghter named "Circum." It was ok I guess, untill someone asked,

"How tall is Circum?"
"Huh?"
"What is Circum's Size?"

I told the GM "I'm going to play a *serious* gnome for once."

Then I named him Jedediah Bumblebutt.

His mule was named Amarylis, he was a fighter and used a pick.

Darth Bubba. never used it in a game but would just to annoy.


I played an albino hobbit named Pillsbury

I once played a goblin king at a LARP and part of my costume was an action figure holding my topknot up. I would point it out and ask if the person liked my "Boba Fett-ish". I got the guy running the event to break up, but he has a lousy sense of humor.

In my gaming career I've seen some terrible pun names. The ones I remember best are:

Helen Highwater - AD&D 2nd ed barbarian.

Hey! I played a Helen Highwater, Hobbit Hooker who ended up marrying a hobbit named Halefellow and they opened a tavern. Any adventurer got the first drink free.

 

[AuroraGyps]

I also had a shadowrun shaman named Lupus Yonderboy

I know I've heard this name before. splitinfinitude, where'd you play shadowrun?

 

[Gnarlo]

Halfgrunt Groingrabber, my halfling thief with a BIG pair of pliers from back in high-school... *shudder*

/gnarlo!

The best we've dealt with so far was an epithet given to a character even though his actual name was pretty mundane. The player had a dwarf who had been seriously wounded in an orc attack prior to the beginning of the campaign. The result was that he only had one good eye. His name was Eric.

We called him "Waist-High One-Eye."
