03-25-07, 07:37 PM this is a contest to see who can have the funniest character name(possibly class related)
Dwelf
03-25-07, 08:12 PM my friend had a barbarian named Kyrgosh

one day, he was visited by a time travelling wizard who brought cupcakes from the future. the cupcakes were so delicious that Kyrgosh demanded more, but alas the wizard disappeared. From the day on, Kyrgosh's lust for pastries drove him to madness, allowing him to only say "Kyrgosh want cupcakes!!!"

that being all he said, and nobody in the campaign knowing what cupcakes were, everybody assumed his name was Kyrgosh Wantcupcakes.

Guess the race!
Necrotius
03-25-07, 11:06 PM I had a player who once wrote down [insert name here] in the blank. Although he was trying to be funny, I didn't let him change it :D.
Benicus
03-25-07, 11:58 PM I have a current Boar Totem Barbarian by the name of Vallasgolorothe Ulksrunner (which in his language means "One who kills with the ferocity of the running elk"). My friend asked my "So why are you Ulksrunner if your part of the tribe of the boar?"

I simply replied, "That my friend is a long, drawn out and needlessly complicated tale best suited for another time,"

The DM then said, "In other words, he has no idea."

03-26-07, 12:11 AM Drizzt.

Seriously, It sounds like when asked his name he started to say drizzle but sneezed halfway through.

Actual names on the other hand I know a couple of them.

A Veitnamese man I know has a pronounced name that sounds like "You" "F--k" and spelled U *** (This might be sensored but it's missing the "C" pretty much.

"Dixit" was another one that was funny, the X sounded kinda like a "sh" sound.

And a teacher at one of my old middle school's that I attended Had the name of "Harold Butts", but everyone called him "Harry".

03-26-07, 10:00 AM It wasn't D&D sadly, but I played Heroquest for the first time the other day and played as two Barbarians, Minmax the Fearful, and Charop the Kicka**.

03-26-07, 10:07 AM I've always been fond of "Pooney Wifflesnout" for some reason, followec closely by "Gobnut Slackbladder."
Salick
03-26-07, 11:26 AM I'm currently playing a gnome character named Roe Ming
Archangel_Tyrael
03-26-07, 11:36 AM The one that comes to my mind is Tealeaf Murderface, the psychotic halfling rogue who wore people's faces after he killed them, Hannibal Lecter style.

What made it more funny was the fact that we weren't sure if human faces actually fit over a halfling face without extensive modification...
The_Basilisk
03-26-07, 11:46 AM Two friends of mine had a pair of nearly retarded half-orcs names Bog Shlurpin and Og Labogo. Another friend of mine played a Ravenloft farmer named Billy Bob Longshoe.

As for the guy who posted the really really long name, that's gotta be a gnome!

Tekas_Tinkered_Dragon
03-26-07, 12:44 PM Grebal goblin Chosen of Boccob, Paladin of Boccob.

An NPC Fighter with a +1 Shortsword that would glow blue if in the presence of a Gobliniod. He had massive luck bonuses and Boccob would periodicly attempt to do something that would kill him but due to his immense luck he would somehow always survive and seem slightly more awesome. The bane of people in my games for years.
SeptimusMagistos
03-26-07, 05:34 PM Mr. Mxyzptlk

I still can't pronounce it.
Bowmore
03-26-07, 08:28 PM I played a one-shot, single-session game and I didn't want to use any of my good character concepts because I knew it was just a one-shot... so I named him Pally McPaladin.

He was everyone's pal.:)
Stardrake
03-26-07, 10:37 PM A couple from the White Box days--Polaroid the Magic-User and my fighter, Orkin the Exterminator. (Shoulda seen him deal with giant bugs....)

Mr. Mxyzptlk

I still can't pronounce it.

But can you say it backwards?:rimshot:
Fencerboy
03-26-07, 10:39 PM ...As for the guy who posted the really really long name, that's gotta be a gnome!

That would be me, and you could simply quote it. I save kittens when someone praises me :D
Ariath Ska'Vhor
03-26-07, 11:31 PM Totally stealing this from Metalocalypse, but Thunderbolt Murderface. It's as awesome as it is rediculously lame.
Repeekluos
03-27-07, 09:19 PM Mr. Mxyzptlk

I still can't pronounce it.

It is pronounced Mizzes Pittle Lick, but all thrown together.

Not joking.

Anyway, the worst name I have ever heard, is a Pixie Bard named X.

The funniest I have ever seen in a game, is Dash Heartbreaker, the lovable Mineral Warrior Half-Orc Bard. He had two good saves, a 3/4 BaB, and 3sp/level (none of which ever made it into perform:( ).

I also liked Crashgar Burndownderbarn, the Feral Half-Minotaur Lesser Planestouched Aasimar. He was pretty spectacular.

Our DM made him change it. Now it's Sparin Keles, although if you say it fast enough it sounds like "Sparklies".

03-29-07, 02:21 PM Listen to this:

I had starting playing D&d with 3.0. After I had many games under my belt as a player, I started writing adventures so that I may start running. I took months researching regional names for cultures, assigning certain real-world languages to my races. I spent days looking for just the perfect names for key political figures. So, the game starts. Everybody is instructed to introduce themselves. The names they picked? Brick the barbarian, Barney the drunken master, and Shump. Shump? :confused: Yes, Shump. Sounds like a damned disease..."the wererat prostitute succeeded in biting you, roll a Fort save vs. Shump."

On a similar note, I'm playing a Spiker Fighter named Rend Gutripper. :P
Warforged Goblin
03-29-07, 02:44 PM This guy in a campaign I ran REALLY liked hack-n-slash... even in the RP heavy game. So, he named his great axe weilding paladin of the Silver Flame Sir Hacksalot.

I told him no. Lots.

So, he decided that "Harmstrong the Fighter" would be better.

ARMSTRONG didn't live very long after that...

Oh, and one of my oopsies: Thordic Hammerdin. Leave it to my buddy to say "Your d**k's sore cuz you hammered it in, right?" Stupid dwarven names...
UAMDB
03-29-07, 06:08 PM I played in a game with a guy whose character was named "Nottoscale"

03-29-07, 06:31 PM A changeling that whenever in a male form calls himself Fredward, and whenever in a female form chooses the name Fredwina.
Shiikeras
03-29-07, 06:44 PM "Sir Hugh Jassakilya"

That was the paladin. Seriously. He had an int of 7, and played it well. When he died from being too stupid ("Bah, the kobolds wouldn't make a pit trap, they'd fall it!"), his next character was named "Tvenynch Venr". He played him (a rogue, this time) with a heavy german accent.

Nerullschosen Bloodfist...

Half Orc Paladin of Pelor :D

Named by his orc father, escaped to his human mother...
Sajek
03-29-07, 08:15 PM Read elsewhere on these boards.

Someone rolled extremely poorly and got an intelligence of 4. His character's name was Dain Bramaged.

A paladin named Sir Loin of Beef (as in "hailing from the kingdom of Beef).

I was once going to name my character Var'Jhin. I had to change it pretty soon.

Hrothgar Odinson (barbarian)

Euclid Euler Pythagoras e pi i (geometer)
There's Antimony Arsenic Aluminum Selenium and Hydrogen and Oxygen and Nitrogen and Rhenium (sung very fast to the tune of "I Am The Very Model of a Modern Major General") (alchemist)
Kevin Phillips Bong (Bong sounds kind of like a bell-ringing tone) (Lizard Man Fighter)
Pyro Fire-flinger (fighter)
Kublai Khan (fighter)
Verix Dwarf-stomper Gnome-boiler Halfling-crusher Elf-slayer Man-killer (half-orc Fighter) (at least party inspired by a First Quest article in Dragon, by Roger Moore (I think))

khyron1144
03-30-07, 01:57 AM Taash for short?

I never shortened it while playing or while recounting his exploits to others, although someone reminded me about this children's book, Ricky Ticky Tembo, because long names are unwieldy.
docballen
03-30-07, 04:17 AM I recently played a bard who was a reporter for the Korransberg Chronicle... named Sean Ennen (pronounced "CNN")

The character I will play on Saturday is a cleric... named Sol Pelorson.

03-30-07, 01:05 PM A paladin named Sir Loin of Beef (as in "hailing from the kingdom of Beef).

It's pretty week, though, when you need to start ripping off old Looney Toons gags for PC names. ;)

03-30-07, 01:12 PM I had a formian (i think thats how it's spelt (thouse ant people)

and the queen roled dice to decide witch name to give me (queen as in the DM) but the dice fell on the floor and he couldnt see them

so she roled and they got to far for her to see so she called him Dice

lol i thought it was great
fun2223
03-30-07, 01:14 PM My friend (stupid immature person who I hate) called his ranger Tod the Timberman, DM did'nt allow it.
Ikyotojin
03-30-07, 01:29 PM Noah Bodi, his sister Bizzi, his older brother Ani, their uncle Sum and his son the bounty hunter Catcha... You get the idea. Family of halfling trouble makers whose grandfather (Aintgotno) eventually became the companion of a goddess.

(BTW - Noah is currently resting. He was blown down a pit he was crawling out of. The party mage hit the undead hydra at the top of the pit with a fireball and didn't realize he was under the hydra. He went from 39 hit points to -4 faster than any halfling before him!)
RobbyPants
03-30-07, 01:38 PM A friend of mine played a paladin in a game I ran a while back. He started his name out as Dexter McAlister. Not a bad name. Then, for whatever reason (just before the game started), he wanted to change his name to Dumnar.

Now, not only did Dumnar sound somewhat... dumb (quite litterally)... the other player's kept having diffuculties remembering his exact name (as they just remembered it being dum...*some sylybal*). So they would usually end up calling him Dumass (pronounced with a long U, not a short U, but still...). Needless to say, he got sick of it, and I allowd him to re-change his character's name back to Dextar McAlister.

03-30-07, 03:38 PM sherlock einstein, think about it you would never know when you are being insulted

There was also 'Sir Cumfrence of Radia', who was a paladin with like 14 int.

khyron1144 03-30-07, 12:11 AM	These were all characters that I at least created with the intention of playing: Hrothgar Odinson (barbarian) Stig Thothson (wizard) Euclid Euler Pythagoras e pi i (geometer) There's Antimony Arsenic Aluminum Selenium and Hydrogen and Oxygen and Nitrogen and Rhenium (sung very fast to the tune of "I Am The Very Model of a Modern Major General") (alchemist) Kevin Phillips Bong (Bong sounds kind of like a bell-ringing tone) (Lizard Man Fighter) Pyro Fire-flinger (fighter) Kublai Khan (fighter) Verix Dwarf-stomper Gnome-boiler Halfling-crusher Elf-slayer Man-killer (half-orc Fighter) (at least party inspired by a First Quest article in Dragon, by Roger Moore (I think))
Oliver D'Argent 03-30-07, 12:57 AM	I have a Rogue named James D'Locke - Jimmy to his friends. ;)
Nathreet 03-30-07, 01:44 AM	There's Antimony Arsenic Aluminum Selenium and Hydrogen and Oxygen and Nitrogen and Rhenium Taash for short? Locke (Thief, FF3) Skilly McBardy (Old Human Rogue/Bard/Loremaster pumping int while spamming every utility/knowledge skill that other players don't tend to take)
khyron1144 03-30-07, 01:57 AM	Taash for short? I never shortened it while playing or while recounting his exploits to others, although someone reminded me about this children's book, Ricky Ticky Tembo, because long names are unwieldy.
docballen 03-30-07, 04:17 AM	I recently played a bard who was a reporter for the Korransberg Chronicle... named Sean Ennen (pronounced "CNN") The character I will play on Saturday is a cleric... named Sol Pelorson.
The_Unseen_Illusion 03-30-07, 05:02 AM	I named my monk Quan Chan
_Jayne_Cobb_ 03-30-07, 01:05 PM	A paladin named Sir Loin of Beef (as in "hailing from the kingdom of Beef). It's pretty week, though, when you need to start ripping off old Looney Toons gags for PC names. ;)
Gorlick_Da_Consumer 03-30-07, 01:12 PM	I had a formian (i think thats how it's spelt (thouse ant people) and the queen roled dice to decide witch name to give me (queen as in the DM) but the dice fell on the floor and he couldnt see them so she roled and they got to far for her to see so she called him Dice lol i thought it was great
fun2223 03-30-07, 01:14 PM	My friend (stupid immature person who I hate) called his ranger Tod the Timberman, DM did'nt allow it.
Ikyotojin 03-30-07, 01:29 PM	Noah Bodi, his sister Bizzi, his older brother Ani, their uncle Sum and his son the bounty hunter Catcha... You get the idea. Family of halfling trouble makers whose grandfather (Aintgotno) eventually became the companion of a goddess. (BTW - Noah is currently resting. He was blown down a pit he was crawling out of. The party mage hit the undead hydra at the top of the pit with a fireball and didn't realize he was under the hydra. He went from 39 hit points to -4 faster than any halfling before him!)
RobbyPants 03-30-07, 01:38 PM	A friend of mine played a paladin in a game I ran a while back. He started his name out as Dexter McAlister. Not a bad name. Then, for whatever reason (just before the game started), he wanted to change his name to Dumnar. Now, not only did Dumnar sound somewhat... dumb (quite litterally)... the other player's kept having diffuculties remembering his exact name (as they just remembered it being dum...some sylybal). So they would usually end up calling him Dumass (pronounced with a long U, not a short U, but still...). Needless to say, he got sick of it, and I allowd him to re-change his character's name back to Dextar McAlister.
Whisper_Swiftblade 03-30-07, 03:38 PM	sherlock einstein, think about it you would never know when you are being insulted "nice one sherlock", "smart move einstein" (for D&D maybe use the names of famous wizards of something)
Sarrazon 03-30-07, 04:26 PM	Jean Eric Villon Think about it. [EDIT] If this is a contest, as the thread says, who's judging?
Shiikeras 03-31-07, 08:51 AM	xD 'Generic Villain'. Took me a bit on that. There was also 'Sir Cumfrence of Radia', who was a paladin with like 14 int.
StalkerEntreri 03-31-07, 09:23 AM	Jean Eric Villon Think about it. [EDIT] If this is a contest, as the thread says, who's judging? "You are in the castle of Jean Eric Villon." -- Ceres (DM) Comments: If you take out the French accent, you get "Generic Villain." From : D&D quotes; same place as in my Sig (www.geocities.com/whoisceres2)
zvbxrpl 03-31-07, 02:50 PM	Bard in a Sandstorm campaign called Rakh D'Khazba. (Say it a couple times to yourself. You'll get the pun.)
arkwind 03-31-07, 03:14 PM	I played a vampire that constantly ate one member of the party, eventually i killed him before a battle and he rencarnated his character as "lunch box" and once i ate him again (much to the groups humor) it became "lunch bag" (serves him write for playing lawfull good)
