Castellan said: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."

Actually, Angcuru comes up with some really mockable PC names.
Phollus
Steinseck
I can't remember too many more.
As a DM, I genned up an NPC female fighter yesterday named Helena Handbasket.

A one shot Harn character
I was at a gaming convention and the game I had planned on joining was cancelled, so I, and another guy who had also intended to join that game, played in a Harn demo which no one had signed up for.
Because I was in no mood to be serious, I took the name Sir Loin of Beef, and the other guy took Sir Osis of Liver.
It took us about 10 minutes to cause the DM to toss away his planned session notes. This happened at about the same time as I got myself involved in a Duel, and was targeting mace shots in "Beef Country", which had quikly become slang for groin shots.

Re: Drum roll please.......
This was great. My wife had to come over to see why I was laughing so much.
I have some to share but I want to read the rest of the thread first.

My Additions
Here are my additions. Some of these I have mentioned in other threads, but anyway. . .
Prozac de Lipitor
I made the player change the name, and since it was a Greek type setting, he changed it to Hermoidus. But then, the other players just called him Hemroidus.
Another player had a character named Cleave, which I thought was alright until he added the last name of Landsteamer. Someone else later had to explain to me what the possible meaning of the two words together can mean. If you don’t know, my grandmother would not appreciate me explaining it here.
In high school I had a player who named her character Brianna. It is hard to explain why that name annoyed me to no end.
Then again, a name is not everything. Mr. Spencer and Zeppelin were some pretty cool characters from past campaigns.

Sherman Sheppert.
Also, A friend of mine once created a barbarian for Diablo 2. He was notorious for stealing names from famous characters of the respective profession (His D1 Sorcerer was Merlin, his D2 Sorceress was Merlina). He then had the brilliant Idea to name said barbarian after another big barbarian we all know: Canon. He was very pleased with his skills until I told him that the actual barbarian was Conan. I went on to say that it was cool, and could I please get a rebate for that camera I was going to buy, and I could use a new printer....
In NWN I have a half-orc barbarian named Kahmsh The Krusher (Int 6 Cha 6 - He's ugly as hell, but that's OK, for he doesn't know it...)
It even gets worse with the surname: Fett is German for fat.
