[QUOTE="Gothmog, post: 947432, member: 317"] THE worst? Has to be Baligoth- the BBEG in another DMs campaign. A big, full-plate armored, axe-weilding, horned-helm mother with a severe Sauron inferiority complex. The name is silly on its own, but one guy who is bad with names was trying to say his name to another party member, and mispronounced it: "Bageldeath" :D After about 10 minutes of uproarious laughter and the DM scowling the whole time, we got back to playing, but from that point forward, his name was Bageldeath, no matter what. Other ones: When I was running a Shadowrun game years ago, there was a rapper onstage at a club. When the party asked his name, and I hadn't made one up before hand, I blurted out "Funky Rump". After much laughter, the party dubbed his posse the "Butt Pirates". :D Another DM named a sivler dragon "Robialiath", which of course we shortened to "Rob". One of my early semi-random names from my D&D campaign- a priest of the god of dreams named "Onthtorin". Its damn near unpronouncible- I don't know what I was thinking. From my D&D game- the baron of a small Germanic town whose name was rolled randomly from a name generator book "Wolf Neiderberger". Actually, that one always kind of appealed to me- I'm not sure why. From a CoC game- an old woman who was a hillbilly wise-woman named "Edna Ruggles". The paladin's first (regular) warhorse in my D&D game. The player was the same guy who coined Bageldeath above, and he's also terrible at coming up with names. So when someone asked him what his warhorse's name was, and he hadn't even thought about it, he said "Its a secret." After another session, and no name, his horse's name became Secret. Secret met a messy end in a haunted forest right before he got his bonded mount. :p [/QUOTE]
