ADHadh 07-09-07, 03:50 PM	Probably already done, but whatever. What I want here, is funny sounding names that appeared in your games. This could have been a PC, a NPC or anything, but it was in the game. By the way, abusive names are not funny. Smashface Facesmasher This is funny :D OK, I'll start: #1. A halfling named Damndirty Smartypants. The player had hard time choosing a name, so I just wrote this one to make him think faster. He loved it :P
DX2052 07-09-07, 04:07 PM	#2, Pun-Pun.

FloppyLlama 07-09-07, 07:30 PM	I can't take credit for this one, but I don't remember who came up with it. It was on these boards though: #4 Munchy McTumbleskin
SpoonNinja 07-09-07, 08:38 PM	Esticle T. Wang Im thinking of using this name.
Mique 07-09-07, 08:43 PM	1. "dorf" 2. "mink the monk" 3. "anita bashda thang" 4: "harry zakx"
ZOMGoubeaux 07-09-07, 08:44 PM	#6 Billy Jostle-Javelin...he's a bard... I'm hoping someone out there will get why I chuckled at this...
MagicMouth 07-09-07, 08:45 PM	The name of my Gnome Rogue from quite some time ago: Glimbrin Kazoo
dm10058 07-09-07, 09:13 PM	Drue the druid i needed to name an npc that i didnt expect to at the last minute
_SIN_ 07-09-07, 09:23 PM	Billy-Bob Thornton. Oh, no wait :thinks: Seriously though, here's a small list of funny characters I've played. Crackus McJunkie - Dwarven 'herbalist/apothacare' Clump - Halfling fighter Hu-Flung Dung - Human Monk Stella Artois - D20 modern secret agent (we all named ourselves after alcoholic beverages - Jonny Walker, Tia Maria, Jack Daniels, Diamond White - led of course by the one and only, Captain Morgan!) Luke Skyscraper - kinda self explainitory (Had a bot too, instead of R2D2 it was just 2RD, pronounced turd) Jesus on Drums, Buddah on Bass, Ghandi on Guitar & Moses on the Mic - AKA 'The Lost Prophets' I'm sure there was more.... I try to remember them.

vaerdhdragonkin 07-12-07, 01:26 PM	Pip Toby Small - Halfling rogue with persistent stomach trouble.
Elessara 07-12-07, 02:13 PM	Here's the name of the Lawful Good rogue who, when he joined our party announced that his name was: Justin ... Justin Timberlake. The rest of us just about died laughing. It was even funnier because the guy who had named him that wasn't really aware of who Justin Timberlake is, just that he'd heard the name from somewhere but it still fit into a fantasy setting so he went with it.

Lordovundead 07-12-07, 02:38 PM	postodius ridickilus
Adrez Nesnsid 07-12-07, 02:43 PM	32.) "Som Dood" (Pronounced "some dude") 33.) An elf named "Keebler"
Tigger062077 07-12-07, 02:56 PM	34) Thunk the Barbarian. Dumb as a bag of bricks but he could hit!
TwiddleStootch 07-12-07, 03:34 PM	These two haven't actually been used, but one of my players/little brother Continues to joke about them: 35.) Nup-Nup 36.) Upnay-Upnay Yes, thats right. :weep:
Shiftkitty 07-12-07, 03:39 PM	In the "Desperadoes" Wild West RPG one character messed up on one letter, ONE LETTER!, and instead of a bandito named El Guapo*", he got "El Guano". *He liked the character from "The Three Amigos".
DraconsNighthawk 07-12-07, 04:00 PM	We had one player tell us that since his character was a elf, he had a elf name, and thus was not proucable by the human tongue. It was spelted Sinhina (With lots of little dots on top of the letters). He'd get angry when we nicknamed him Sin, or the Elf who cannot be named, or something to those effects. Sad thing was, Sin fit his character rather well.
V1zharan 07-12-07, 04:12 PM	This one isn't really ridiculous....but I still am in love with it, he is an npc bard who, for perfrom(dance) raver-dances with a whip that has light cast upon it. Belthas the bard Also, somewhere in the Best Lines Ever thread I spotted Plenty Uptop. ~V1zharan~

Feredenil 07-12-07, 07:47 PM	'Tuban O'Varao' Was pretty weird. Since it roughly means 'Pumped O'kickass'
Shiftkitty 07-12-07, 09:14 PM	What language? OT, has anybody tried this? When someone asks where you're from, give a fantasy location. Someone asked me at a party once and I answered "Honalee". They thought I said Honolulu, then someone else corrected them and I thought I'd been caught. They then added "I think it's in New Mexico, isn't it?" I went with it! Egad! Like nobody'd ever heard of Puff the Magic Dragon! So now that's my hometown, while my husband claims to be from Waterdeep, New York. :D It's how we ferret out gamers...
Reashi 07-12-07, 11:47 PM	the bard in my campaign chose to call himself: Diglet B. Goodman the swordsage could not create a name so we called him Tony for now which ended up becoming his name: Tonyfornow the paladin is called Timmeh Smalls the warlock is called Granos Manos
Potato_Dragon 07-13-07, 02:14 AM	One time when I DM'd there was an evil priest who ordered his pet poodle into combat against the PCs. Specifically, he said, "Get 'em, Snarf!" The players thought the whole thing was hilarious.
Ebrion 07-13-07, 04:13 AM	Shump Danglefist - Half-orc fighter
ZOMGoubeaux 07-13-07, 09:36 AM	Another good one... Cliff Edge. CN Barbarian. You just didn't mess with Cliff Edge. Funnier when others would tell NPC's "Keep away from Cliff Edge."

RobbyPants 07-13-07, 01:17 PM	Carlos the dwarf:D (who knows where this is from?? anyone??);) I can't remember the name of the movie. I just remember it was the first character of a "cool" kid who decided to play D&D. I don't think I saw the whole movie, whatever it was.
thehaikuelectric 07-13-07, 01:20 PM	I can't take credit for the name, it actually comes from Michael Moorcock's The Vanishing Tower (4th in the Elric series), but I had a savage druid PC named Voilodion Ghagnasdiak. He was killed by the party...in the first encounter of the night...the night I rolled him up. Addendum: Voilodion Ghagnasdiak also appears in one of the Corum books by Michael Moorcock.
Papapop 07-13-07, 01:34 PM	I can't remember the name of the movie. I just remember it was the first character of a "cool" kid who decided to play D&D. I don't think I saw the whole movie, whatever it was. close but it wasent a movie, it was the last episode of freaks & geeks, what a good show, i just watched it this year in photography class for the end of the year stuff, it was awesome
elondir 07-13-07, 01:41 PM	Some of my more silly names... Earwig Nosepicker (a kender) Alialanaladasaldebacc Cyrano de Vianetti de la Fortaleza de los Legumbres en la Mesa del Sur XXIII (a Savage Coast swashbucker, translates roughly as "Cyrano of the house of Vianetti of the fortress of vegetables in the house of the south, the twenty-third").
foxtail 07-13-07, 01:51 PM	I didn't realize the significance of the name until the other players pointed it out, but I had a halfling swordsage called Herrican Half-fast (say the last name out loud). Also, I had a monkey-gripping, greatsword-wielding half-giant (before I knew that combo didn't work) named Cleftin Twain.
BluEnigma 07-13-07, 01:52 PM	A Shakespearean bard by the name Bic Pentameter.
Toran_A_Sunder 07-13-07, 01:57 PM	A Shakespearean bard by the name Bic Pentameter. Best one so far, IMO :D My two favorites: In a gestalt Worlds Largest Dungeon I play a multiclassed fighter/rogue/scout/swashbuckler. Called him Frogue ScoutBuckler. My ex made an elf character with a severe speech impediment. She named her elf Mesothelioma. I love D&D.
Skritz_the_Lizardmen 07-13-07, 05:18 PM	An orc Barbarian called Big Dick. He was killed by Goblin, i used his part ot make a flesh golem.-Dragon roasted him.
Skritz_the_Lizardmen 07-13-07, 05:19 PM	*Bump*
Shiftkitty 07-13-07, 08:06 PM	We have an NPC wizard in our campaign called "Aeiou". It's pronounced like "Hey, you" without the 'h'. I also ran a one shot deal with a guest player, my neighbor's visiting nephew who sat in for a round while the adults next door discussed stuff utterly boring for a 14 year old. He played a hyperactive barbarian warrior named "Red Bull". He was actually a pretty kickass character, complete with this really cool magical raven companion, and the bird would fly to attack when the barbaraian released him, saying (you guessed it) "Red Bull gives you wings!"
JolanthusTrel 07-13-07, 09:54 PM	I have a Halfling Ranger\Barbarian (favoured enemy Giants) in spiked armour called Bindi Underfoot. She travels with her brothers who have a similar styled armour and they are called Burr and Caltrop Underfoot. They specalised in fighting a giant threat to their homeland.
TyWebb 07-14-07, 01:54 AM	Some PC names I've had: - Olliver Clothesoff (2e Masque of the Red Death mystic) - Austin Tascious (named for his gaudy stats after rolling 4d6 in front of the DM and ending up with 17, 16, 16, 15, 14, 12. I almost named him Galactus Q. Splatterfoe just to annoy the already incredulous DM) - Sturman Drang (human fighter) - Stratocaster (a bard, naturally! At one point he had NPC followers named Les Paul, Rick Enbacker, and Marshall Stax.) Some comic-relief type NPCs from the campaigns I've run: - Jimmy The Scumbag (thieves' guild contact) - Tarquin Lin-tin-bin-bim-lim-bin-bim-bin-bim bus stop P'tang P'tang Olé Biscuitbarrel (Silly Party. We called him Lintinbin for short, as he actually became a semi-major recurring NPC.) One of my campaigns had an organization of mercantile companies called the Brotherhood of Imperial Trading and Commerce Houses, or B.I.T.C.H. for short.
JolanthusTrel 07-14-07, 07:39 AM	- Stratocaster (a bard, naturally! At one point he had NPC followers named Les Paul, Rick Enbacker, and Marshall Stax.) But does he have a brother called Telecaster?
Malchius 07-14-07, 07:50 AM	My Gnome Warblade, Tikkurd, roughly translated from Gnomish to Common as "Hairy Mole" but none of the other party members had gnomish:( so they didn't know what it meant.
Mempter 07-14-07, 07:58 AM	Touchberry (pronounced tuch-barry)...
Grandpa Gamer 07-14-07, 09:36 AM	My very first D&D game was with the original boxed set my brother Eric got for his birthday, and our older brother Kevin DM'd a random 'dungeon'. He didn't have a clue how to work up fantasy character names, so the first NPC we encountered was "Fred the Elf-Boy"! :rofl:

TyWebb 07-14-07, 12:14 PM	- Stratocaster (a bard, naturally! At one point he had NPC followers named Les Paul, Rick Enbacker, and Marshall Stax.) But does he have a brother called Telecaster? Actually, in his backstory he did...and of course his father was Leo Fender. I suppose if I were to play the character today he'd be questing for the Pick of Destiny.
Optimized_Commoner 07-14-07, 01:56 PM	Sharpak McSharShar First another player couldn't think of a name, so I started reading off words from objects around and when I got to a Coke Sharepack the first part of the name was born. Then someone asked his last name...
MCage 07-14-07, 01:58 PM	The name of the only fighter i've ever PC'd for: Burger the meat sheild
Mælstrøm 07-14-07, 08:28 PM	This is a hilarious thread, keep it coming, folks!!! Great stuff! I don't have any cool names, but I distinctly remember a game with my old GM - he was always very well prepared, except for names, and when it got to inventing a name of unplanned NPCs, he always let his gaze go around, so we had a lot of Johnny Walkers, Gin Tonics, Jims and what-not. At one point, one of the PCs was about to take over a certain secret service, and his first-in-command had not been named yet (he had many many people working for him in said secret service). His gaze wandered and halted on a video with a certain emblem on its side, and he continued: "...he calls himself Warner..." At that point, the player blurted out: "Of course, and the others are his Brothers, right?" Needless to say, we were all gasping for air a few minutes later ;)
TyWebb 07-15-07, 02:22 AM	I don't have any cool names, but I distinctly remember a game with my old GM - he was always very well prepared, except for names, and when it got to inventing a name of unplanned NPCs, he always let his gaze go around, so we had a lot of Johnny Walkers, Gin Tonics, Jims and what-not. The same exact thing would happen to me when I DM'ed this one campaign, so we ended up with NPCs named Jax Bachman (after the bag of pretzels on the table), LaBatt (beer bottle), Ginseg (spice bottle), and Glen Livet (scotch). For some reason, the players always wanted to know the names of town guards, so they usually ended up being named for TV-show cops...we had Briscoe & Logan, Banachek, Starsky, Hutch, Matlock, Sipowitcz...and the Captain of the City Watch, Barney Miller.....
Zantumal_Waveharp 07-16-07, 08:43 PM	*SNIP* Plenty Uptop. ~V1zharan~ This is the very real (stage name) of an exotic dancer in the mid-west of the USA. Here are a few from the group I am in... Rome the Gnome Dia-look (spell it backwards) Martial Law (an ex-knight with spiked chain) I like to use the name generators, and the DM gives me some looks when I give him the names that come up.;) I have Zantumal, Kanindrim, Eltsen, and Gom.

Shiftkitty 07-26-07, 10:28 PM	OMG, yes! You have all these wonderful, exotic names that really transport you to another world, and then they drop in a standard, Earth name, usually of Hebrew origin, such as "John", "Benjamin", "Sarah", etc. I wasn't aware that one of the tribes of Israel settled in Faerun. I pat myself on the back for trying to keep the names in my campaign exotic. It's not hard to do. Take a standard Earth name and change one letter, and add a vowel on either end if you like. Using that formula, my real name, Lora, becomes Elonae. One of my players, Mark, became Amaro. On a similar note, though, kudos to my players when, as a major monster surprised the party, one player shouted out "JESUS CHRIST!" and the others responded with things like "Who?" or "Is THAT what it's called!" Yes, somewhere in my world is a still-surviving demon known as "Jesus Christ". That's gonna make a trip to 21st century earth really interesting. ("You guys aren't gonna believe who they worship here!")

We called him Lintinbin for short, as he actually became a semi-major recurring NPC.) ROFL. I haven't watched that skit in ages. I love Monty Python. Nessal, Tremere, and Fled are all character names from people I've gamed with over the years. My own contributions include such gems as Darjeeling, February and Kukicha. When it comes time to name NPCs, I have an easy, cheaty way of doing so. I write down every ordinary or real-life name I can think of on paper, and cut them apart at the syllable separations. These I separate into a first-syllable pile, a second-syllable pile, and so on. Then I draw from the piles randomly when making up names. Very handy, if you overlook the occasional aberration.
ElberethSilverleaf 07-26-07, 11:17 PM	My main problem with $alvatore's naming is the overuse of apostrophes. Gygax didn't even have that much initiative, he just reworked place names from Ireland and Britain and a lot of character names were just anagrams of his, family and friends names.
Gryllmyre 07-27-07, 12:22 AM	Actual names from a troop of 1st level evil characters that were meant to invade the Keep on the Borderlands: Grab em n jab em Clob em n rob em Rape em n scr*** em Porky (female half-orc, Cha of 4) There were a few more but I can't recall, might have been a Pick em n flick em in there somewhere. They all died.
Zantumal_Waveharp 07-27-07, 02:17 AM	Dia-look (spell it backwards) The guy doing this one is now contemplating a "red war-forged, with a handle on one side and a smiley face on its belly. It will specialize in Bull Rush and try to burst through walls. It's battle cry will be, 'Oh, Yeah!!!'." This is his description. I said if he does that he should have the warforged filled with potions of repair light damage. Knowing this guy he will name the warforged Nam Dia-look. (Again spell it backwards.)

Shiftkitty 07-27-07, 11:42 AM	My main problem with $alvatore's naming is the overuse of apostrophes. Gygax didn't even have that much initiative, he just reworked place names from Ireland and Britain and a lot of character names were just anagrams of his, family and friends names. I've used Terran place names when it was logical, such as when places are named for nearby prominent features or other such things as Cottonwood, Waterford, Half Moon Bay, etc. The only town I lifted without such a benefit, however, was part of an in-joke reference to a murky little mudpit of a town near my hometown of San Jose. It's called Alviso, and the only purpose of this piece of land seemed to be to collect mud and sludge from waterways that extended to the San Francisco Bay. It was hastily built landfill to hold trailers for veterans returning from WW2, never meant to be a permanent settlement, but it became so. It floods regularly, so naturally a few years ago they built a business park there without asking why so many of the permanent residents have rowboats. You can guess what happened next. Anyway, Alviso is a major trading port in my campaign and is known for it's fine restaurants and many entertainment venues. It also floods like crazy, so for about half the year it's alot like Venice in Italy. Salvatore's fondness for apostrophes trips me up at times. Is it meant to be a glottoral stop? An accent mark? Are there any pronunciation guides for these names?
Staple 07-27-07, 12:11 PM	There's a running gag in any game that I DM that states if a player hasn't chosen a name by the time their character appears in the first session, the character's name is Legitimate First, because his/her mother was so proud of having finally accomplished it.
ADHadh 07-27-07, 01:47 PM	There's a running gag in any game that I DM that states if a player hasn't chosen a name by the time their character appears in the first session, the character's name is Legitimate First, because his/her mother was so proud of having finally accomplished it. That's from Discworld. Funny fella. I'm so relieved that my players do not attend these boards, so I can give you a name that has yet to appear in my campaign. A gnome necromancer was going to be called Sinney Easter, but I've checked that, apparently, gnomes love names and nicknames, and must have a dozen of them. Fear Sinney Vlad Mancer Gaudi Nomicon Marquise Belkar Sidious Richard 'Grim' Easter, the gnome necromancer who, while being evil, hates the 'necromancers are evil' stereotype and gives a scroll with Explosive Runes to anyone that says so! :evillaugh His hobby is plotting how to overthrow Vecna. :plotting: There's also a name created by a friend of mine that I think I'm going to use: Pant Array.

Grumman 07-27-07, 10:56 PM	We've got an... outgoing druid named Blueberry Fields in one of our games (Blue for short). A half-orc barbarian named Ugh. Personally, I'm tempted to take a page out of the WHFB book and make Mauler, wielder of the +1 Maul of Mauling.

Rimlar 07-29-07, 05:08 PM	I've gone satirical a few times. I've played an Evil gnome named Chomsky. I DMed a cult leader (who also happened to be the Duke of Hubbard) named Elrond. As a DM, I had a Inn where the characters spent a lot of time. There was a statute of a Demon out front which was actually a petrified demon (which the character's did not learn until later). The name of the place was the Hard Vrock Cafe. I'm an engineer, so when I am really at a loss for names, I can just use one of my current or former coworker's exotic sounding names (and I encounter some dooseys on an almost daily basis). Rimlar
ElberethSilverleaf 07-29-07, 11:02 PM	I DMed a cult leader (who also happened to be the Duke of Hubbard) named Elrond. Rimlar Uh oh better be sure you don't have shady types wearing dark glasses, and artificially over-whitened teeth staking out your house man. lol
Oof GruumshNoLike 07-30-07, 06:54 AM	I play a fighter named Smitty Smitersmoten. Then of course, my barbarian named Oof Gruumsh-No-Like.
wadledo 07-30-07, 11:32 AM	Once I played a Bard called Bard McBardbard. He was the only character who survived for more than 2 levels, and ended up as the grizzled 18th lvl 45ish old mercenary who took control of a kingdom the size of Australia, killed 3 deities, became immortal, survived 11 lightning strikes, 4 assassinations, 7 rock slides, and everything else the DM could think off. His stats where: STR 13 CON 11 DEX 10 INT 9 WIS 6 CHA 12
Feredenil 07-30-07, 11:41 AM	Once I played a Bard called Bard McBardbard. LOL, MY GOD THAT ONE ALMOST KILLED ME ! I actually rolled a fortitude ! and I was once playing with a guy who made a halfling rogue called 'Milf' !
WilwarinAndamar 07-30-07, 03:03 PM	In my first campaign, my friend Lathan made a Half-Orc Druid named Spar Keles. When pronounced really fast, it sounded like "sparklies". For the campaign that I am DMing now, he's a Dwarf Monk prostitute named Jacques Testicockules. I'm not sure what's worse, the name or that I allowed it. :thinks: In another group I game with, there are two bards: Zoltan the Rock God, and Olindrix the Rock God (also called Olly the Third).

graddlin 07-30-07, 03:38 PM	I played an insane Fighter once whom had proclaimed himself "Lord Fudgeripplescotch, the Minty One." His sword was named "Twoscoops." Take care, friends.
Mark Thorson 07-30-07, 03:41 PM	A guy in our group played a Dwarf barbarian named Ruthgar Salmonpants. Not overly ridiculous, I guess, but any name with pants in it cracks me up.
Tripox 07-30-07, 05:06 PM	Shouldn`t someone keep track of how many names? one of mine, and one in my group`s Me: Esperalda von Figaroff. (catrace) Other guy: Harry Knuckleheadthathasbaneedfourhundredandfi ftyonedragons
Shiftkitty 07-30-07, 10:32 PM	The earlier post about Count DeMonet reminded me of an NPC I threw at the characters, Lord Hardwick. Naturally, they all started chuckling and one asked "Lord Hardwick?" Being a bit of an actress, I drew myself up tall and proudly announced in my best English Lord voice, "Every inch a Hardwick!" Amidst the resultant laughter, I had to look aorund curiously, still in character and ask "What? What's so funny?"

Zantumal_Waveharp 07-31-07, 02:55 AM	I've gone satirical a few times. I've played an Evil gnome named Chomsky. I DMed a cult leader (who also happened to be the Duke of Hubbard) named Elrond. *SNIP* Gnome Chomsky is just wrong of you...:D As for Elrond Hubbard... I think that was Tom Cruise crying in your closet...:P *Snip* Baron DeLapoer and his master Count deMonet Gotta love History Of The World... But for bad names, check out The Life Of Brian. There's Bigus Dickus, and Contenantia, to name a few... In one of the games I am in we have a LG Paladin. Not so strange until you find out it's in the Cabal of Shadows. His name is Fallon, which can and will be taken a couple of different ways.:confused:

Shinigami42 08-03-07, 11:07 PM	Hastur H. Hastur. For those who did not guess, his middle name is Hastur. Guess how long it took for his party to die?
Kensan_Oni 08-03-07, 11:25 PM	My sisters first character was named Flipoph. My mom broke up laughing, and I don't think she stopped laughing till the tragic end of that first game.

Dullahan_X 08-15-07, 03:21 PM	Geddy McBarzernaffle Epic Level Gnome Bard/Sublime Chord I got his first name from Geddy Lee of Rush, then I made up a goofy Gnomish sounding last name. Unnamed - pronounced "you-nam-mid" A Dwarven Dragon Shaman in my current game, currently posesses a jar of Aboleth slime and a Beer Elemental
Shiftkitty 08-15-07, 03:22 PM	True story: When I was in Junior High, a classmate from Viet Nam, fairly new to the country, found out what his name says in English. His name was Kao Dung. After we told him, he spiked his hair, dyed it blonde, and insisted on being called Billy Idol. Other true but unfortunate names I have encountered included a dentist named Dr. Pain and a pediatrician named Dr. Shortlife. On the list of names that sound like they're custom made for BBEG's is Dr. Horvath.
