And then there's his friend, the street-level vigilante, David Arknight.

Has anyone suggested lawyers who have a law firm called "Wee, Cheatum, and Howe."

If not, rewatch the Three Stooges.

Nah. However there's a different law firm which also has a Mr. Howe. His partners are a Mr. Dewey and a Mr. Fukem.

Then there's this https://imgur.com/gallery/n2FLRnC

I briefly played a Dwarven druid. He was named after a mushroom which, in common, was called "deathcap" so, he went by Deathcap. He had a quirk that this always amused him because the name in Dwarven had no such connotation.

The running gag in my games is the firm of Dewey Cheatham Royal & Howe.

Thinking of a firm called "Rutem, Lutem, and Burns".

There are an astonishing number of Doctors Payne. One of whom is a urologist specializing in urologic pain.

There are also a number of Doctrors Moore.

My grandson is running a short campaign for me and his younger siblings using Wendys Feast of Legends system. My character is a member of the Order of the Frosty named Chuck Lot.

Not tabletop RPGs, but Town of Salem can produce some great moments name wise, especially if people suggest a funny theme in the lobby.

There was this time I went by the name Necroa Virus, and sadly ended up as neither the Necromancer nor the Retributionist, but as a Medium.

Playing Dracula's Castle mode as Templar Indus(tries) and ending up Vampire Hunter and killing 2 vamps N1 was pretty fun, I guess one of the vamp was a Plague Inc fan.

A game of Coven Lovers, someone suggested we named ourself after countries. I called myself Poland, and ended up Werewolf. Wojtek was a bear, true, but close enough and didn't stop me from running with it.
