Worse. Character. Name. Ever!!

[The It's Man]

Justin Thyme

Oh, you remembered ...
Or did you also have a character with that name (I don't, but when a friend of mine and I were in the process of making up names for future characters, this and his cousin Justin Kees came up - he is currently playing Sir Thyme now).

In my Adolescent days, I had a ongoing NPC named Barbarian Bob, Proud owner of Barbarian Bobs discount adventuring outfitters. Picture a scrawny 5 footer, with a thick triangular tuft of chest hair walking around barechested. He also had several enterprising relatives, such as the popular inkeeper Barbarian Rob. Those were the good old days....
Oh wait, I forgot an old goof party from around that time. Fiona Firelips(Wizardess), Pip Peeper(Ranger) Gaz Barkeater(Druid)

I seen my share of bad ones, including a mage named Amnesia, and a ranger named Lone. I think the worst one was a fighter named Tba. The player couldn't think of a name, so the DM just wrote down TBA for "To Be Announced", and the player decided to keep it.

And I routinely use drug names for character names. Beholdemerol and Haldol the barbarian brothers
Nasalcrom the Necromancer
Paxil and Accutane (both bards)
Xanax (elven evoker)
Keflex Anaphalaxis (human conjurer)

We had a game where all of the characters were named after pharmaceuticals:
Darvon the Dwarf
Acetaminophen the Paladin
Zantax the Wizard

Wow this is great! Never again will I be in want of an interesting character name! Hmm...let's see what names I can conjure up.
Prozac
Seroquel
Lorazepam
Diazepam
Valium
Risperdal
Zyprexa
Klonopin
Ohhh...The possibilities are endless!

[Trevalon Moonleirion]

A friend of mine had two pretty good ones:

Shemdog Queerdoh

Pendulum

Pendulum liked to burn cats and throw them at people...

I have a LOT of experience with bad names. We has a DM who used to think that it was a punishment to the player to have a bad name. If you couldn't come up with one before the game started he assigned you one that was bad. Plus, I could never come up with original names. Here are some I've played/seen:

Sir Pants-a-lot of Dropseat Manor
Bob Gameboy
Netfo Gnipeels (Often Sleeping Backwards)
Samas Aran
Quai-Chang Kain (Monk)
Dirk Niblick
Flod (alien superhero, I didn't realize his name is "flawed")
Duke Landrunner (a SW Jedi)

Also, in one star wars game we played in, we had 3 bounty hunters who were brothers named:
Brock Blaster
Brett Blaster
Bob Blaster

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.

Ah, yes. Horrible D2 names. Hmmmm.....I can name quite a few.

Esmeremerelda - Amazon with an Emerald Fetish
Sir Honorable - Paladin (my bro uses this as his SN, creepy since he's an evil bastard)
The Good Reverend - Also a Paladin, chats like an evangelist
Sir Nut of Sack - Barbarian
Necrofeeliak - Necromancer

the list goes on....

 

[Foundry of Decay]

Some from both games and strange, strange, strange, strange stories (usually fantasy genre based) that a friend and I write:

Beetwhistle Buttersteak - Gnome politician who is right out of the walnut he calls his mind.

Blistersheets Magnum - Dwarf with a problem of being a 'rolling sleeper', giving himself sheetburn during the night.

Throaty Stubbletrumpet - Loon

Stains Welton and his haircut Janet - How can you explain someone so bloody mad that the name alone makes you weep tears of mindless dispair.

Eggs Rustolonio - Elven asylum inmate.

Trout Whistlehips - Old coot who was shot in the hips when a law-man, and makes a whistling sound whenever a wind picks up.

Bandylegs of the kingdom helpless - Bloody helpless vikings..

Dr. Barrelsqueezer, and his assistant Kevin - Surgery was his only option after recieving so much head trauma.

Mortholamew H. Duck - A duck.. what, little else can be said about a magic duck really..

Picklefist Brokefoot of the Kingdom of Tax - Half-Orc tax collector who broke his foot off in a pickle jar.

Sometimes the clockman - Sometimes sometimes sets the clocks. Sometimes sometimes utterly misses the right times, and Sometimes sometimes has to redo his job.

Whee Puttyknees - An enthusiastic stain on humanity.

I'm thinking of having myself committed someday. (Not a name, but a declaration).

 

[Ycore Rixle]

A ranger named Raven. He had an animal companion, a raven. And the companion's name was Raven. Mind-numbingly stupid.
