A recent thread on 4chan‘s /tg/ channel saw the emergence of a plethora of bad character names for use in RPGs. Please feel free to sprinkle these into your own campaigns:
- Dmitri Faganella
- Ted Vecna
- Uncle Touchy
- Featherhair Gayswallow the Elven Bard
- Hue Jass
- Sephiroth D’Urden (dual wields giant sized katanas)
- Elrond Hubbard
- Any combination of Dark, Raven, Blood, Wraith, and or “cool” first names
- Any name starting with “Richard”
- Leonard Michaelangelo
- Rick Hackstabber
- Anything with an apostrophe
- Rangers named Walker
- Big McLargehuge
- Spanks McGee
- Axebeard Beardaxe
- Yuu
- Mii
- Kha’k Mhonglaer
- Lon Ornemint, the Bardin’ Gnome
- Hank
- Flaggin Mcfloggin
- Rollo Crotchfinger the cleric
- Damme Strohng
- Big Daddy Cumbuckets
- Gilbert Michael “G.M.” sucksass
- Pun Pun
- Rik Ast’li
- HUGE
- Whatever the GM’s name is
- Blork the Unquestable
- Facepalm Jaypeg
- Fi-Tor
- Imoen
- Jimmy Changa
- Boleg the flatulent
- Backstab Mctraitor
- Stabbity Jones
Additional names that would likely be terribly disruptive are welcome!
My sacramento RPG cohorts dug it. Not quite as much as I did, but they certainly appreciated the humor.
Jimmy Changa rocks!
Pingaliker Jones
Burrowowl
DeGuia
Ooh, Pingaliker Jones has some potential.
JarJar Jones almost made the cut.
Fuzzy Bear.
Pwonizel The Shizel.
Lighting Rash.
Hemorroid Martinez.
Manuel Labor.
Some bad ones I’ve heard over the years:
Hung Long, the monk.
Brave Sir Robin (actually, she was a female knight, so her full title was Dame Brave Sir Robin).
Haiyu Overthere, the Elven ranger.
Bob the Fighter
Plot Device Annie, the generic name we used whenever we couldn’t remember the name of the orphan, princess, peasant, etc. we were saving that session.
Haggis McGee, the Dwarven bagpipe-playin’ bard.
Those are all that I can remember, but there have been others…
From the “Liches & Bitches” thread on /tg/ yesterday:
Brick Hardcheese
Flint Ironstag
Butch Deadlift
Bolt Vanderhuge
Buck Plankchest
Dirk Stonepeck
Grizzle McThornbody
Blast Thickneck
Smoke Manmuscle
My DM will forever hate me for naming one of my characters Dick Manpunch. Beyond that, I’ve used Sneaky Pete the Orc Barbarian, Velendar Headsmash, Action Abraham, Poppa Capp (oh, WOD), and Qxuulular. I’ve also used Axebeard Beardaxe, it’s easily one of my favorite bad names.
