Worse. Character. Name. Ever!!

Dude, you ripped on Darth Vader, the single best most unreproachable bad guy in movie history. I can't take any opinion of yours seriously now .... :)

That having been said, names are tough to do and it is a fantasy campaign. I don't have a personal beef with anyone as long as they don't blatantly rip off any of the following:

Tolkien, Dragon Ball Z, Street Fighter, Star wars, Dragonlance, Salvatore books, Wheel of Time.... you get the idea.

I see a halfling named Blibo I will make it a moral imperative to see him pushing up daisies for his creators lack of creativity.

I wasn't in the game, but we make fun of a friend of ours because in a game, he had an elven character (not sure what the class was). Part of the game was that they were trying to sneak into this town, and wanted to use assumed names for some reason.

So the elf thinks and states "My assumed name will be Mikla Brutecrucible!"

Kind of an interesting name, but not terribly good for hiding out.

Someone mentioned the name "Napoleon"...I actually had a rogue that I named Napoleon...it didn't seem to be a bad idea at the time, until the other players decided to shorten it to "Nappy". So, from then on I was Nappy the thief. *sigh*
 

yeah

Yeah that's him. I first heard about him in a Dark Horse mini series of the Jedi v.s. Sith war. Can't remember where he is mentioned outside the comics though.

Gah...Elan Sleazebaggano...you're right, that's the dumbest SW name I've seen yet.

Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later. Ashrem has found me out. I am, in fact, Will Smith. Go ahead and add me to the list of celebrities who play D&D....*SNIP*...I guess we've all had players like that though.
OK, I've stopped wetting my pants long enough to type.

THAT was funny. Damn.

:p

As I wrote in another thread today...

In my campaign I had a PC elven mage named Sinus who was riding a horse named Square. After his death a dwarven cleric Tangents appeared :)

Hey, it was 1982, we were 10 years old. Looking back, it was the series of names that were funny, not the source. :)
 

In my early DM days, I had a BBEG named Big Ed the Bandit.

I also had a shadowrun shaman named Lupus Yonderboy. Totem=Coyote. For some reason, I didn't pick up on the fact that Lupus was a disease, but I was too stubborn to change.
 


I routinely name my characters with obscure fantasy-sounding words:

Angstrom (who later became known as "Angstrom Wolfslayer of Whom the Bards Sing" after he died gloriously)

Aileron the Flighty
Mili, son of Mizzle (a dwarf fighter)
Azimuth the Archer
Meniscus (a gladiator)


Neverwinter Nights has required me to speed up character name creation, thus:

Ureeka Dedfish (a half-orc barbarian)
Loofa Backscrubber (a short-lived halfling rogue)

And I routinely use drug names for character names. Behold:

Demerol and Haldol the barbarian brothers
Nasalcrom the Necromancer
Paxil and Accutane (both bards)
Xanax (elven evoker)
Keflex Anaphalaxis (human conjurer)
 

Let's See:

Bassale (pronounced BAH-sal-eee)
Publix
Aloe of the Vera
Potato Chip (SR character)
Kursk (brother of Krusk)
George Clinton
Ice Cream Joe (From Vampire, Malkavian who drove an Ice Cream Truck late at night)
Dasani
