pertoleum 06-21-05, 02:09 PM	i frogot my dm- Lord Fancy pants The 5th-never let your gf name you
Valgaav 06-21-05, 02:18 PM	lilt-its, the female halfling barbarian. :ahem: that's what he had planned anyway. he's not joining the campaign.
Dark_Sesshomaru 06-21-05, 04:25 PM	A friend of mine had a half orc barbarian named Biggy Smalls. And long ago he use to have a Paladin named, Peter the Piast Paladin with Powerful Pecks... keh :rolleyes:
Dick Dastardly 06-21-05, 04:38 PM	we had in our last game, a rather vicious wolf named steve. which was funny in its subtlty. and we also had Pat the dog ranger the II. due to a distince lack of imagination by a much loved player. :D
Sinaz 06-21-05, 04:43 PM	I had to name an NPC on the fly and for some reason or another blurted out "Hanky"... :rolleyes:
20goingon1232 06-21-05, 04:46 PM	One of my players uses the name Laergon the Easily Frightened (LN Wiz2) who has a heavy crossbow he calls Ole Betsy.
chrisnd 06-21-05, 05:02 PM	For some reason, the guys in my group decided to call the ranger (who's in game character name is Ellandall) "Jeff". And the 1/2-orc barbarian was named "Duh" by a rollplaying newbie who had no clue about medieval fantasy games or naming conventions. I later changed his name to "Doug" as part joke, part background story.
Gilgamet 06-21-05, 05:24 PM	Let's see: There was 'Red Crotch' - the fighter. He had some other name - but we use miniatures to represent PCs and his miniature had a blazing red... well you get the idea. We are currently playing with a portly NPC fighter named 'chunk' - who rivals the old Goonies character. We encountered some NPCs in Eberron who had difficult names to remember - so I referred to them as 'Bob and Edna from Des Moines' - and it stuck. They are regular charaters.
Gilgamet 06-21-05, 05:26 PM	We came across a mummy in Ravenloft named Ankthepat - and he was affectionately called 'On the pot' by our group.
ĐēşţĩŊŷ 06-21-05, 06:35 PM	For some reason, the guys in my group decided to call the ranger (who's in game character name is Ellandall) "Jeff". And the 1/2-orc barbarian was named "Duh" by a rollplaying newbie who had no clue about medieval fantasy games or naming conventions. I later changed his name to "Doug" as part joke, part background story. Funny, a half orc barbarian had the exact same name in a campaign of mine.. strange, do i know you? A powerful demon lord was named "Crazy Eyes" in a campaign. He had some "crazy eyes" each pointing their own way, think of the dude in mr.Deeds.
DanjaNinja 06-21-05, 06:56 PM	Well, a DM once made a character for me (a human fighter) and wrote "Jim" on the name space. Later that session Jim died, and we didn't have any ink to print out another character sheet, so I took an eraser to Jim and made an elven ranger. The name was unfortunately written in ink (don't ask me why he did that), so to make it more elven I appended some letters to come out with "Jimolas".
dngnb8 06-21-05, 06:58 PM	Thor Azine Darvo Cet Fexo Fenadine
Ekranoplan 06-21-05, 07:00 PM	Zim Zooflowski Herkama Zane Zaminski Justin Credible (its just so rediculous)
kuhTHOOloo 06-21-05, 07:16 PM	On an epic game, I was playing a half-orc barbarian/frenzied berserker who's prowess in battle was nigh unmatchable, who's rages caused continents to crumble, who's mere glare could send a thunderstorm running away. Named Edgar. Only spoke common and Kobold. Had a thing for kobolds. Thought of them like dogs. "Awww, Edgar pet li'l kobold!" I miss that character.
Puritan13 06-21-05, 08:08 PM	For a long time, to the frustration of my players, every NPC they came across was named "Charles" or some variation. Chuck Chazz Chucky Charlie etc. In a Dragonlance campaign we had going one of the players was named Palin the lawful good paladin of Paldine. Then there was Tifistilestrius the Confounded in the same campaign. Thats all I got.
UltimateReality 06-21-05, 08:38 PM	We had one player in particular who was fond of juvenile names...he'd come up with things like: "Sofa Kingrate", "Hitler von Boone", "Dantron" (player's name was Danton), and so forth. Another player once played an evil bard named Ozzy. I'm pretty sure he even bit the head off a small fuzzy animal. My personal favourite was my evil wizard who escaped from the asylum with Ozzy and Hitler von Boone: Nephys the Unhinged. (Man, that was a shortlived campaign. Especially after von Boone ate that archon and got a disease...)
tec-9-7 06-21-05, 08:42 PM	The silver-tongued Rogue - Lingus the Cunning...
Necron99 06-22-05, 03:21 PM	The profanity filter says" Never Mind" :)
2nd Ed Paladin 06-22-05, 04:17 PM	I was playing in a campaign and we had an old friend who had come back to town sit down for a game. He whipped up a fighter and couldn't think of a good name so he called him Luke Skywalker (not the funny name). Next session our friend had returned home and we had this extra fighter which the DM promptly killed off. For the duration of the session we compained about the tragedy of Luke Skywalker so much that the DM banned us from saying then name Luke Skywalker. As the next campaign started I created a character called "Loucksa Walker" much to our DMs dismay.
DDogwood 06-22-05, 05:45 PM	I ran a game set in ancient Britain, two years after the death of King Arthur. I asked the characters to choose old Welsh names, and provided a long list as an example. One of the players chose the name "Ednowain". For the rest of the campaign, everyone referred to him as "Ed the Fighter".
solis_tahoe 06-22-05, 06:50 PM	My original DM had a NPC called Volga the Rabbit Slayer. Most of my NPC´s have easy names, so my PC´s remember Malon, the gate guard, or the terrible Corthe Clan, but the NPC thei remember most is the Bard Patriarch Dantanalashera, of the Guispertsteppe Company. In my campaign the Beatles motif is everywhere, the Chief of Royal Security is named Ringo, the Kingdom’s Princess is Jude, and the mysterious and lethal Mountain’s hermit is "The fool of the hill".
mikevw2 06-22-05, 07:14 PM	I've had characters named Wodewick and Weginald in a PC game.... Perhaps I should bring them to live RP.
Slayen 06-22-05, 07:26 PM	From the first party I even DM'ed: Crave 4 Chaos, an elven wizard Beeferoni (generally called Beefy), a 1/2 orc barbarian Darkmage, a psycotic human sorcerer Yes, I was young and naive back then. It should be noted that all three were newbies and that both Crave's and Darkmage's players were both quite good RPer's (and have gotten better ever since). Beefy's player.... well.... he had to be given his characters name by someone else and every character since has pretty much been a copy of the original Beefy in some way. Its almost become a running gag of sorts.
Sinaz 06-22-05, 07:27 PM	I've had characters named Wodewick and Weginald in a PC game.... Perhaps I should bring them to live RP. HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA "he had a wife you knowwwww... Incontenetius... Incontentius Butticus!"
alecthemad 06-22-05, 07:30 PM	First the Bi-curious dwarven bard named Silky Longshanks created by my brother in law. *shakes fist* Second, in order to introduce a new character the DM has the party come upon a group of hobgoblins and a large bag. From the bag comes muffled noises. The elf in the party parlays with the hobgoblins: Elf: What is in the bag? HG: Dinar, stupid elf. Elf: Dinar? HG: Yes, dinar. Stupid elf. Elf: What is dinar? HG:Supar. Elf: Supar? Dinar? HG: Yes, Dinar stupid elf. This goes on for a while. For those who haven't figured it out the hobgoblin was saying Dinner and supper. The new character was in the bag and was to be dinner. After a short fight and the freeing of the new character the elf asks his name. D'oh the player forgot to name his character so he became Dinar Stupidelf.
AlRiKlv.3 06-22-05, 07:39 PM	this one time our adventurers were kicking back at the hometown pub and we needed to make a key NPC's name (the trusty bartender)on the fly. And since I had my DS with me (to tick off my DM) I blurted out "Nint!" And now our best non adventurer friend is Nint the Bartender who also has a cousin in the main city named Endo!
femmehack 06-22-05, 10:30 PM	kinu reeds-quarterling knife fighter who says "Woah" alot, played by my ex in an epic level game follywoggon- snow-gnome bard blinky, the retarded beholder--npc in a game i played in
Winter Fallout 06-22-05, 10:48 PM	One of my players uses names like Sord Woond and Hart Atak.
chrisnd 06-23-05, 01:08 AM	Funny, a half orc barbarian had the exact same name in a campaign of mine.. strange, do i know you? I am not sure - do you live in Ohio? And is your "Duh" still in a current game but played by a different player because the original player quit and became a male prostitute (we think, although we aren't sure what actually happened to him when he got fired from his day job...)
Relanir 06-23-05, 03:12 AM	In the campaign I am going to run, one of my players is going to be a warforged artificer with a mace named Bonk
All-Day 07-01-05, 01:42 AM	In a D&D campaign set in an era akin to ancient Rome, my aristocratic character (Rog/Ftr/Brd) was named Josephus Kuhel.
Darth Doom 07-01-05, 04:42 AM	Ivan McPain - Imperial Guardsman scout, Warhammer 40K RPG. Von Holio Karochio - German (We didnt know either...) bull fighter in a Vampire game. Nigel - Gnome barbarian. Female.
TecronMaas 07-01-05, 05:11 AM	Well this is odd has no one else had a campaign with an Elf known by the players as "Alphabet" :D To this day I could not spell or say the 25 letter uber name he showed up with, we ended up just calling him Alf.
Evil Weevil 07-01-05, 05:17 AM	Bink the Barbarian- the players nick name is bink, though I don't know how, nor why, hmm. Evil Weevil- One of my hilarious strokes of pure genius, the name gives no justice to the character. Wally Whippersnapper- yet again my character, but he's real cool, striving to be what will soon be known as a were-pirate. (Halfling Were-blackbear that talks like a pirate only in were form :D ) Thats all I got now.
TrackStar 07-01-05, 07:56 AM	A game I am running, we have "RockHard the Berzerker" a Dwarf Barbarian and "Hung Well" a Halfling Rogue. And "Hizzy HoHo" is about to be made this weekend. Personally I have a series of characters useing "Wobba". "Wobba the Sliver Ranger" "Wobba da Main Brain" "Wobba Darknesses" Etc. :D :P :D :P :D :P ;)
Occams_Razor 07-01-05, 08:24 AM	One player in my crew is not so good at coming up with names. First was a ranger named Tandori Jones (wood elf... huh.) Next was the cleric of Dol Dorn named Billiam. Yeah...
The Mad Hatter 10 6 07-01-05, 09:07 AM	I had a mage named Lunch who kept two guard dogs with him named Breakfast and Dinner.
Dartanel 07-01-05, 09:17 AM	Does a Dwarf fighter specialized in firearms named Ca Non count? Otherwise I got nuthin'
Temmogen 07-01-05, 09:18 AM	I have an NPC wizard...."Louie the Lifelike" Cleric...."Ernest the Earnest" Fighters...."Bob the Stout(deceased) & Bert the Dense" Another wizard...."Tim the Obtuse" Just a few to keep it goin.... :D
ryan_stone 07-01-05, 11:19 AM	I had a player who loved Bards. The three he played were: Harry Angel Larry Bagina Dikki Sweet
Baron Von Chaos 07-01-05, 01:09 PM	A friend and I played 2 Gnome fighters named "Cannon" and "Fodder"
ILL34GL3 07-01-05, 08:20 PM	I call the catfolk in our party "Mr. MeowMeow Pants". I once hurriedly named a character "Ral Parthis".
20goingon1232 07-02-05, 09:28 PM	In the last game, the Wizard (Laergon) finally got his familiar, a Hamster (I used the Rat in the MM in terms of mechanics and familiar effects) by the name of Mr Nippy. I believe his favourite battlecry is now: Go for the groin, Mr Nippy! Go for the groin! While his wizard cowers in the backrow winding up Ole Betsy.
Ront Iron-Roar 07-02-05, 09:53 PM	Me and my friend Chris created a Goblin family with three brothers all of which have the same name save that one letter is changed. Rag Reg and soon Rug. Then there were these Half-Orc twins named Rock and Tree. Me and my cousin played. Their Orc father was drunk at the time of their naming when the Slavewoman birthed them, so he named them after the first things he saw when his vision was blurry. Then there was Buckler, my gnome wizard who guest starred in one campaign for a moment. We did have a group with a Thri-kreen named Click-click. We started calling him Mr. Clicky out of character. Then there was the Kobold Ninja, I made. He was raised since birth in Drow servitude as a miner. So they called him "Digger" so he calls himself Digger.
Kaoru Nagisa 07-03-05, 01:41 AM	I had a ranger NPC once who the players nicknamed Weed. Eventually they shall have to fight him. lol, but they don't know that.
Trevor Goodchild 07-03-05, 02:23 AM	The one that strikes me first is the one someone put up on the boards a while ago, with Bill the Ruler of Hell and his ability to dismiss inconvient effects. But that wasn't mine, so it doesn't matter. The best one was when my character was being held on trial for breaking and entering, and my excuse was I was looking for biological samples to study from the thorn bush I fell into and was arressted in. Sadly, I wasn't thinking as fast at the time, so I told the judge I was looking for "things from that porcu-bush I fell into". Guess what I went by until I framed one of the other PC's for stealing a magical sword from a shop (only a day later)? Mr. Porky.
The^Wanderer 07-03-05, 03:43 AM	There is a name given to a man who consults with the foulest sources of evil. A man who wears the blackest of armor -- armor so black as to appear to be part of the great void itself. A man who wields the sharpest of barbed blades, each spiked end decorated with the tiniest bits of human flesh. And the name given to him is... Jon! :eek: :rolleyes:
mailliw11 07-03-05, 03:59 AM	I had a ranger once named Ima Treehugger lol
James Wildspell 07-03-05, 05:41 AM	A couple of NPCs I created for a campaign long ago: Bob Sletter and the Eskimo, S. Quint, were from the North. Sir Furdud was from the Southern coastal area. And the easily confused Beddy-Bob was from a rather backward rural area. "Euben Hadd" is a name I unabashadly stole from an early "Dragon" magazine for a short-lived PC of my own. His only claim to fame was that he cut himself out of everything that ever swallowed him. [I will never again play a Halfling or other Small PC unless the DM rules in advance that attacks from within a creatures' digestive system are always considered Sneak attacks.] :help:
Aeromus 07-03-05, 06:50 AM	Crackerjack Bojangles... Thread over.. move along.
Blackwind 07-03-05, 08:29 AM	In just about every game we play some pwerfull NPC ends up with the nickname "Crazy Face" And at some point a friend of our was drunk and reading some medical journal and decided that "Clamovorax" was the best name ever. so was born the Psion "Clamovorax the Mind crusher" then we realized that he remeberd the word wrong and it should have been Clavomox which is cat medicine.
Swarms 07-03-05, 09:57 AM	I know a player who played a character that (in his backstory) was once a gerbil but was polymorphed by an evil wizard into a Half-Orc (thats the race he was playing as). His name? Lemmewinks The Gerbil King. The party then had to go on a quest to find the wizard and get him changed back. :rolleyes:
Gat 07-05-05, 03:27 AM	Mine Soufrafix
Tsipaf 07-05-05, 03:42 AM	Mine Soufrafix Sure cause your name Gat Merema ( anagram for metagamer) is far more serious...
ozdan 07-05-05, 03:43 AM	As DM i had an NPC ranger. Cant remember his name. The players started calling him all sorts of variants on "Walker, Texas Ranger." Walker Texas Tex etc... then Chuck etc.. I loved the NPC when I created him and had big plans for him.. then he slowly morphed into a bit of a joke NPC... :D
Deacon Liadon 07-05-05, 09:25 AM	The cleric who was called Heathyn Ghodless.
High Octane 07-05-05, 09:49 AM	I presently have a Half Orc Barbarian named Thokk. While not in itself a funny name, he, in character, got it from "Thats the sound my sword makes when it hits a skull." Having a gnome artificer for like 2 sessions, I decided to give him an outlandish name. Brimbleflock Saldog. I thought it was very Gnomey. Also I named a Gnome in another game "Plumbaub". One campaign I'm in has a family of halflings known as the "Snuggledons". We came up with an NPC bartender named "Bart Ender." Which is funny because that COULD be a real name. Halfling rogue in my campaign named "Nohtstanding B. Hindyu" In a really bad campaign I was in we had a dwarf named "Greemar Nonads". Also had an elf ranger named "Link." Everything he picked up he would hold over his head and whistle a tune. Got old real fast.
dark_youkai 07-05-05, 12:18 PM	Me and my friend's were all bored at school. Me, being the geek that I am, made temporary stick men D&D characters for us. I wasn't really going by the rules because this was just to pass time. For myself, I created Ukthor, the valient knight. Ok that was the easy part. Then I had to make 3 more. The next player likes spellcasters so...... Cheesebar the molded mage! I was hungry. Relation maybe? nah.... Anyway, next person adores rogues. I'm having a hard time with names over here so she'll be...... Retardo the "gifted" Thief. This was the beginning of one of the longest running gags between me and my friends. Retardo just ran around screaming " HI, I'M RETARDO". He also had two short swords super-glued to his hands. Now one more left and I was fresh out of ideas. So I just muttered "what the hell" and created the blindingly creative, ultimately unique, the eptomine of originalitie, the amazing.........uh.um.... The amazing.....guh...... Gnome..y. Gnomey the magical garden gnome. He looked exactley like a garden gnome but he was alive. and he duel wielded a rusty shovel and a pair of safety scissors (spelling?). It all went downhill from there when Retardo was captured and had to be rescued from behind the pure white castle walls of " Happy house Mental hospital" :P :D bottom line: it was great. :D :D
Valgaav 07-05-05, 12:57 PM	Gnomey the magical garden gnome. He looked exactley like a garden gnome but he was alive. and he duel wielded a rusty shovel and a pair of safety scissors (spelling?). correct spelling. You realize I'm gonna have to do that now, right? *adds to list* Great...my Character Idea list has reached it's second page of backups.
Bruunwald 07-05-05, 01:21 PM	Gnominy, the very iniquitous gnome thief. Groothl the toothless half-orc with a Charisma of 3. Narden Groinhammer, obviously a dwarf. The same player played all 3 of those. He was a pain of a player, but hilarious all the same. This weekend we had an NPC who was really there just as a meat shield. Somehow he could not lose. I kept throwing him in there with 8th-level PCs against terrific odds, and he just wouldn't die. We all began to really like him, but he was a nameless soldier, so I asked the players what they'd like to call him. My wife said El'Gone because of the time he failed a save and ran from the room. The other player said, "Testi-clese." (Pronounce like "Hercules".) So now his name is Elgone Testi-clese. (I hyphened here because of the censor.) Sometimes the dice just really like a character, and you can't explain it.
UltimateReality 07-05-05, 01:34 PM	The other player said, "Testi-clese." (Pronounce like "Hercules".)Dantron's cohort was named that...I forgot all about that little name. *mutter to self* Dan (the player) was responsible for a fair amount of the incredulous and amusing-the-first-two-times-you-hear-it names that went through our group.
Prince FyreDragon 07-05-05, 02:03 PM	This character has yet to be played, but a friend of mine wants to make a cannibalistic halfling named Anklebiter.
Duvanok 07-05-05, 02:46 PM	Our DM has a very high kill rate. However there is one particular player who has had worse luck than the rest of us when it comes to losing characters. Thus, he decided some months ago to begin naming his characters alphabetically. For example, his first character was Albrecth, 2nd was Brennen, 2rd Cyril. He is currently playing Dennis, the sorcerer. Poor bastard.
psychocow 07-05-05, 04:30 PM	Barbarian/bear warrior with an int of six in my group named his char ARRR!!!!, yes the !s were on the character sheet. Halfway through character creation he spent skill points to be literate and bought a intelligence boosting item (+5 in and epic campaign) decided to tone down the ideacy. added a Y and subtracted 3 !s for Yarrr! :rolleyes:
High King Tigernmas 07-05-05, 04:38 PM	This character has yet to be played, but a friend of mine wants to make a cannibalistic halfling named Anklebiter. Technically unless he was a really short halfling he wouldn't be biting other halflings, and would not therefore be cannilbalistic...Sorry, just a point I had to make...
Jeremiah DeathFist 07-05-05, 04:47 PM	My first character was name Jeremiah Deathfist the Smurfslayer. One time (in my groups days of noobness awhile back) we let my cousin play a session. At first he wanted to name his character Alpha Q (say that fast and something unexpected comes out of your mouth) but decided in the end to name him Alpha Jew. Worst player ever. In my current group and campaign my friends Dwarf Fighter is named Granite Ironhammer but everyone just calls him "Pebbles." Infact our characters just learned his real name.
Bruunwald 07-05-05, 06:00 PM	My very first character was named Testor after - you guessed it - the paint I was using on my very first figure. I named my second character Testorsson. Not incredibly original, but both strangely fitting for a fantasy setting.
Gnomemaster 07-05-05, 06:58 PM	pimpjew the dwarven drunk phondolin the cleric (pronounced fondle-in) and jeff the archmage squirrel lich
dog_mu 07-05-05, 09:30 PM	In a campaign I played in a long time ago, I named my halfling thief "Sunshine"; we figured that it must be a nickname. My brother had two characters that were Siamese twins, so he named them "Port" and "Starboard". At one time, I named all of my characters something wierd: Peppermint the halfiing druid, Animal Crackers the wizard and his henchwoman Duck Soup, etc. In my most recent campaign, one of the players didn't come up with a name for her wizard (who was capable of flinging horrendously destructive spells around), so one of the other players named her "Shiva".
whiteknife 07-06-05, 03:46 AM	I once played a 2ed. viking (thank god kits arent used anymore!) named bjorn bjornson. I dunno i thought it was funny. Was also once in a group with the incomparable Pootie Jones
Kalanth 07-06-05, 05:42 AM	Dick Storm - Male Human Bard A buddy of mine made this guy and named him after a guest that stayed in the hotel we work in. His name screams cheesy weather man.
The_Prophet 07-06-05, 12:01 PM	My friend Will had the brilliant idea of a half-orc cleric of Kord with a 18 Wis and a 4 int. His name? Dim the Latent :D LAter he revised him into a Half-Orc cleric of St.Cuthbert (with Strength and Destruction domains) His name? Krush the Skull. :D
kam_Islash 07-06-05, 12:14 PM	Yewg Ownadie (Say it fast) Orc Barbarian. We also had a mystic theurge who didn't have a name until the last week he existed, so throughout the time he was with us we called him "Buttwipe"
Gurthoron 07-06-05, 01:25 PM	I was joining a campign as a tank-type black fighter dubbed "Gurthoron". The immediate response was: Rogue: "What up, G?" Cleric: "Hey, its the token black guy" Thus he was called G or Token for the rest of the campaign. Then there is my friend who always uses names that sound alike. Rein, Roon, Ruin, all sorcs
Aram al'Castor 07-06-05, 01:38 PM	Harry, the dwarven bouncer at the local pub who ironiclly enough is completly hairless
kam_Islash 07-06-05, 03:08 PM	He wasn't very fuzzy, was he?
Yak of Darkness 07-06-05, 03:49 PM	Campaign that finally finished around the end of last May, involved four PCs: Alicia (the leader), Agatha (the sage), Adeylan (the mage), and Anthony (the muscle). They referred to themselves as the A-Team.
Mercurius 07-06-05, 04:17 PM	A dwarven paladin by the name of "Argot Noknees." The player, a terrible punster, still swears to this day that that was an accident, and that he didn't notice until someone else pointed it out. Fortunately, that was a one-shot.
EvilDuck 07-06-05, 04:35 PM	Technically unless he was a really short halfling he wouldn't be biting other halflings, and would not therefore be cannilbalistic...Sorry, just a point I had to make... The BoVD defines cannibalism as the consumption of the flesh of a sentient being. Let's see, we had: -a fighter named Bob(which got really confusing because one of the other guys IRL was named Bob) -an elf named Himo(we pronounced it Heemo at first, but when he said it was pronounced Hymo, we brought up that it sounds like a certain part of the female anatomy and started calling him that until he acquiesced) -a winged cleric named Coo of the Cloth(his surname was something goofy, but I forgot) -a halfling rogue named Extra Spicy Curry -a druid named Josh(I was feeling lazy that day) -a warlock named Mike(still lazy) -a cleric named Ryce the Reaper(you can imagine the nicknames) Yeah, that's about it.
CorSecJedi 07-07-05, 12:33 AM	I drew up a secondary character - a cleric - in my last campaign. We called him HealBot 1000 until my DM made me name him. Thus, I named him H'Bonek Dragonslayer! And he ended up killing 4 dragons!
monkeywrench 07-07-05, 01:45 AM	We had a halfling Ranger named "Harry Wigglebottom" Our group has a rule that any PC, NPC, or intelligent item for which the player cannot think of a name is automatically known as Steve. So my Mystic Theurge (cleric/wizard) was was walking around with a Pseudodragon cohort (which had several levels of druid too) and an intelligent greatsword (telepathic) named Steve. Hysteria I tells you.
R-man 07-07-05, 04:57 AM	Many years ago I had an Assassin called "Good Question". I had a lot of fun with that name for a while. My wife on the other hand loves naming her characters using either Welsh names consisting entirely of consonants or using sounds from other languages that are impossible for English speakers to make! Yes she is Trilingual and has a real love of languages. :D The only other one that I can think of was a friends character who had called himself "Frodo" and insisted on referring to all the other PC's by names from the Fellowship. After a couple of months (Real time) of this all the players got tired of the schtick and asked him to stop.
edgy_rhinx 07-07-05, 08:44 AM	I had a druid named Dance Animalrain in one game.
friedmad 07-07-05, 10:05 AM	we always had a player who played a monk, and he always named him Thelonius
Treymordin 07-07-05, 12:34 PM	I once had a monk named Burrito Won Ton.
friedmad 07-07-05, 01:34 PM	oh, and i forgot about this one.... we had a cleric named Jesus....every time he succeeded on a saving throw he would bellow out "JESUS SAVES!"
Exiled 07-07-05, 01:45 PM	Honestly, In my current campaign one of the PC's has a character called Richard Bjorkov. (Shorten it) and every other PC had James in there name.
Zémobiel 07-07-05, 01:55 PM	i remeber one called Ispep Eulb Who was simply Pepsi Blue write in reverse
sfubear 07-07-05, 02:09 PM	my friends where in a game and had Stumpy the Balor, which was missing one hand but, everytime they ecountered him(he was the BBEG) they would say something really dramatic but silly because of his name...like "time to die stumpy" or "your evil deeds will be your undoing, now stumpy prepare to die" I don't know i think it is funny
The Swedish Viking 07-07-05, 03:57 PM	Playing in an all barbarian group is nice, where every barbarian is above 50 except one - who´s another barbarian´s grandnephew. Their names? Collin the Barbarian, Cecil the Mutilator, Quicthic the Kneecapper and Manus the Fortuitus. Now imagine the response of the peaceful clerics of the village after introductions.
RavenoftheCrags 07-08-05, 10:50 AM	I once called my character Ronald McDonald
Treymordin 07-08-05, 11:17 AM	oh, and i forgot about this one.... we had a cleric named Jesus....every time he succeeded on a saving throw he would bellow out "JESUS SAVES!" Now that is funny! :D
Emir 07-08-05, 06:56 PM	My DM doesn't allow silly names like Beasty Headsmasher or stuff like that. But we did have interesting stuff... Like... The party Druid awakened a meduim sized tree, and we called it Woody, and it eventually became a Wizard :) Or the Awakened Dire Boar named Arkturis :D :D :D anyway, the other day, one of my players discovered a cool name (as he says) by pure luck: Pusi-liki, accept without the '-', so it's actually Pusiliki, some Elf or something :p
Milandros 07-08-05, 07:57 PM	A friend of mine was DMing a campaign that was basically serious. One day he introduced an Ogre Mage NPC who wanted to talk to the party. They asked him his name. The Ogre Mage said "My name... is irrelevant." and continued to threaten/bargain/talk with the party. From that point, Irrelevant the Ogre Mage was a re-occuring bad guy.
GFC_Seracule 07-08-05, 07:58 PM	My dad's gnome bard was named "Samnot W. Bush".
GFC_Seracule 07-08-05, 08:01 PM	Oh, and his friend's pc was Iniflodnag, for Gandolfini backwards.
Taim Kelrathos 07-09-05, 12:39 PM	My Gnome would add names to himself as he accomplished deeds. By the time he died he was: Kuroga Ji'tai of the Shadow, He who is the Dark Wolf, The Skilled Smasher, The Powerful Arcanis, Who Fights Like Lightning, Defender of Calooh Callay, He who Slays Things that Make Him Really Really Angry, Leader of Bearded Armies, He who Mocks Aformentioned Bearded Armies, He Who Turns into Great Nasty Things With Big Nasty Teeth Things on the Full Moon, He who has Killed Death...Twice :twitch:
LED6180 07-09-05, 01:16 PM	I once played a gnome bard named Dollybop My brother made a fighter named shadow wolf (he has a reputation of making weird PC names) I'm sure everyone has had to deal with players that gave their characters LOTR names like aragon or sauruman. I guess the coolest guy one of my players ever made was Osborn Legallow the lvl 3 halfling master thrower with an atk bonus of like +11(he never missed) Finally my friend insisted on creating a new character everytime we played. To make it worse, he always called him elron the elf fighter, and he only used the elven thinblade.
Cymric 07-09-05, 02:26 PM	Bob the wizard Daboo, half orc barbarian Serge, the fighter Abdul and Bobette the wizard (he had a sex change)
lesliweird 07-09-05, 04:11 PM	I love my current DM, but he hasn't really got the gift for NPC names. Take, for example, the local Mason who we had to rescue after he got into trouble for building our -well my- heretical altar. His name was Plot Point the Mason. We also bought all our items from "Magic shop guy" and the local cleric was just named Padre. The local lord was also Lord Byron, then Lord Tennyson, then Lord Nelson, then Lord George W. Nelson, then Lord Nelson Mandela. Actually it got to be kind of fun when we got to make up names. Fat Drippins the merchant was my favorite. There were a couple of other fun NPC names, but they're not going to get through the profanity filter. :D Aside from that, the worst (or possibly best) I've ever done on a PC name was a hot Twi'lek chick whose name was "Pang Toon"
Magiq 07-16-05, 09:37 AM	We call the exalted monk in our party (with Nimbus of Light) "Sleeps With Candles, and the kenku warmage "Kez".
Jeremiah DeathFist 07-16-05, 01:11 PM	Well, in the new campaign my group is starting soon (Eberron) the orc barbarian is named Dreggis but everyone just calls him Greg. Also the player of our warforged fighter is thinking of naming his character Chunk.
Ace the Dead 07-16-05, 02:39 PM	Oh I have so many of these: Dex (swashbuckler/rogue). In my first game I DMed, the rogue was named Dirty Pillows. Later when that player tried Dming, my brother named his cleric Clean Sheets. More later.
Gehenna 07-16-05, 02:55 PM	Butch Manhammer, the female dwarf
Ace the Dead 07-16-05, 09:42 PM	Adid Naduid (pronounced A-did Nod-do-id) human gnome artificer (:confused: wait what) Virtue Niallo (the anarexic scitzophrenic elf) "...Pret-ty p-pol call me Ugly..." -Ugly, the half-orc barbarian (int 6, cha 6). Figaro Squeekspell, squeeky-voiced halfling wizard. Tonka (a con 20 dwarf) Tank (3.0 dwarf fighter w/264 hit points by lvl 10) "What are you calling yourself today?" -Jaren the Scribe; "Marcus, if I recall correctly." -Malice, very evil looking warlock. Black Mage (gnome warmage). D.D.W. gnome warmage. In character it stood for something in gnomeish. OOC it stood for Direct Damage *****. "Kawakatose. Be still and I will sing you a song: Kawakatose, Kawakatose, Kawakatose." -Kawakatose strangest bard ever. Supprisingly not an egocentric freak. Goliath, Ogre in a futuristic campaign with a hand-held assalt cannon named David. Goliath could take down traffic helicopters. NaK (a chemistry joke), human kinetisist(sp?)/pyrokinetisist. NPCs: Duke Hash, his wife Mary Jane, and their son Smoke. Hobbie the hobgoblin. Trig (short for Trigonometry, a human raised by gnomes Had severe issues). Fido and Rover teenage twin rogue werewolves. Aaric Aamaaris (an Aasimar). Baka, human diviner with an int of 20 at lvl 8 (this was before I started watching anime; it was a total coincidence). Clubs and Spade, halfling partners in crime. King Vlad and King Vlad III (no relation, different campaigns). Shishishi (OA human shamen). Popopo (Shishishi's re-accuring bear animal compainion that's died in every combat he's been in). Lilly, a silver haired villian who is a minor anoyance of a villian (makes life difficult by causeing trouble with the City Watch). Her name is funny because the day before resounding defeat in the courtroom my professor brings his 8 month old daughter to class. A elfin little baby with silver hair. Her name: Lilly. Finally, what do you name your albino son if you live in the city of Rapid? White of Rapid.
BeyondFated 07-16-05, 10:55 PM	In one Oriental Adventuers campaign we just had, one player loves Dynasty Warriors, so he came in with a character named... Cao Pi. I think I pee'd myself after I heard that. Mostly we called him 'Wizzer', 'Leaky' (Hey Leaky, yer bleedin all over me!) 'Tinkle'. *Sigh*, good times.
LordBritish2 07-22-05, 11:48 AM	The group I am DM'ing for started calling a minor BBEG Tarter Sauce (real name was Warlord Tatarin) and as a group named themselves Warriors of Dijon. And then they started calling the neighboring kingdom Calimarie, instead of Kaminari. :uh-huh: :nonono: :rolleyes: BSUS (Blow Sh1t Up Specialist) Guntar Rambo, I have gotten better with names since I first named this guy. He had a longbow with explosive from Complete Warrior on it. :evillaugh
wizkid 07-22-05, 06:22 PM	kudos to everyone that posted on here because of that great laughs. but heres my two cents. I was once playing in a game where our Full blooded mountion orc enchantress'es name was...... Cheiftens Daughter. the whole backstory behind it is that in her village, that she ran away from, called her that because her name was so long and unpronouncable. :confused:
scaledwingofsmog 07-24-05, 02:58 AM	an npc whos name i wanted to be pronouced oo-ni-ke but the first time the caracters met him someone misspronounced it u-nic and the name stuck
Skrimshaw 07-24-05, 04:20 PM	My Dwarven Sorcerer (sometimes a Bard) Harazmus B. Dragon (say it fast)
LordBritish2 07-25-05, 05:49 PM	I forgot this one. One of the other players called his gnome wizard Lentil but everyone in the group called him Bean.
Mortecareus 07-25-05, 08:46 PM	A player in my new campaign has a halfling rogue called Don Hastily, inspired by the armour table in the PHB I also recall a wizard named Presto, who's attention people always seemed keen to get (Hey, presto!), and a fighter named Tullgorm, usually called Tull, because he's gormless.
mazurek01 07-26-05, 01:30 PM	Studley Hungwell the sexy paladin with a cha score of 28
VarisTalnethalas 07-26-05, 07:41 PM	party wizard called Yoestoy Muysucio :confused: he didn't have a name for his new guy so the DM put some pressure on him to come up with one RIGHT NOW... with that result =) Bobo Basher , Dwarf Fighter ( played by our RL friend that was streetsmart but with a very very low IQ.) We would make it a sport to have a argument and have him pick a side (assume he chose person 1). Person 2 will then make a argument that will cause Ed to switch sides... while Person 1 will make a comeback or rebuttal that will convince Ed to switch the side he supports yet again. This would go on and on until he would figure out something is wrong or he tells us he is staying out of it because he is utterly confused now. This guy is pure hillarity. He plays his characters as himself and would always stick to dwarf fighters. (The DM told him Dwarves are cool and he stuck to that ever since) He get's so into it... he was in tears before, fell off his chair in fright and jumped one of our players for betraying our group. He plays his characters so honest he would never act based on what would benefit himself or the group the most, he ALWAYS acts how HE would react to it. Begging for mercy, peeing his pants, running from a fight, bed every prostitute in town, then beg the cleric to cure disease on him again. Dragonfear works everytime on him, no need for him to roll a save because Ed IS scared of a Dragon. He keeps blowing all his gold on girls and alcohol on the first day in town. After that he keeps at it without money... which usually ends the same.. charges for assoult on customers, assoult on the inn owner and staff, assoult on the town guard, attempted assoult on the judge. Needless to say all party members became proficient jail breakers. All of us had a "Ed Kit" He truly made DnD a one of a kind experience.
Cyric 07-26-05, 08:53 PM	Patrek Duphy (the braun) and Thom Selik (the brains)
BloodGod 07-26-05, 09:09 PM	Grundy- Half Orc in my first serious campaign. (Not so humorous, yet.) Grundo- Half Orc in my second campaign. (Getting better.) Grundi- Half Ogre in a current campaign. (Funny yet?) Grundakai- Half Elf in a current campaign. (Oh come on!) -BG
CryoSilver 07-26-05, 09:43 PM	Father Perruche (means parakeet in french) the cleric of Garagos Cross, the 1/2 dragon gnome eating barbarian Zappy McFireball, my friend's human sorcerer whose actual name is something like Azagar.
TheNatealator 07-26-05, 09:48 PM	After not reading much of the PHB, except the bare minimum for creating a half-orc barb, my friend's brother's first character was named "Krusk." Sadly, this was a year ago, and I was the first one to catch that the barb in the PHB is also named Krusk. This was a couple weeks ago. :embarrass
Flakster 07-27-05, 12:43 AM	The first session of a new campaign, and one of our players was missing. He had already rolled his character, and wanted someone to play him. We noticed he didn't name his new character. So, as punishment for not making it, I took the liberity of naming his character 'Ladybug Snookums'. Ladybug actually kicked alot of butt, he rolled an astonishing amount of criticals.
The_Prophet 07-27-05, 07:49 PM	Preface: My name is Steve While I was away at college, afriend of mine ina campaign had a horse named "Donkey" and a donkey named "Steve." :censored: you, Jay!!!
