In the first D&D 3.5 campaign I DMed, one of my players was a Paladin of Lathander named Gohaveth Asammich. In the next game, he was a gnomish scout named Gunther Gnomehands. In our first Pathfinder game, he was a pistol-wielding monk named Gymalt Le Parde--which was a bastardization of foreign words for "Revolver Ocelot".
Worse. Character. Name. Ever!!

In the mid 2000s, I went through a period where I had 'naming my pc' block.
Robert the Jedi
Robert the Battlesorcerer
Robert the Spellcaster (generic class from UA)
Robert the Wizard/Druid/Arcane Hierophant
It was the French pronounciation of Robert (Robair) for all of them.
Back in the late 1970s we had all manner of silly PC names.
A Wizard named Pseudofed.
A Cleric named Merlin.
A male Fighter named Ariel. Not odd at the time, but was when the Little Mermaid came out.

My favorite bad PC name is one I use a lot in videogames, actually. "Solution Pitch." I've varied it: for Persona games, which are Japanese RPGs, I've gone with "Picchu Sorushun" and for MMOs where almost every name is taken, "Solushun" worked fine!
One at a tabletop I used to go to was Nintego. We all called him "Nintendo."

Enjoy.
Have fun and happy naming.

A fellow player played 'Tfolnevar' (silent T) in a 2e Domain of Dread campaign.
Another player has such a hard time coming up with names, that he's been leashed with the Gygaxian-formed 'Kram' a few times.
Another player, when asked her name in an email, replied, "Not sure yet", so was named Notsu Reyet.
Not necessarily a bad name, but in one campaign, two of the players (dating at the time) made characters independantly, but both named their elves 'Lia', although they did have different last names.
'Knil' and 'Nada' were played by two players playing siblings who replied "none" when asked for names during character creation.
Another used the name 'Joilet' (I think from one of those old AD&D cards) for a paladin, but had such bad penmanship that it looked like 'Toilet' on his sheet, so much potty humor was derived from his knight in porcelain armor...
