Funny character names
 
I was wondering if anyone else here has come up with funny character names, whether PC' s or NPC's? I got the idea from an old gamelords module , " Within The Tyrants Demesne" . There was a character there named "Emil Jaggoh" that I thought sounded rather comical. It got me thinking, and now I have few that make me chuckle, so I will share a few, and please share some of yours too!

1) Haxis Heddoff
2) Yule Bededsune
3) Justin Thyme
4) Barry McSwordinchest
5) Watson Treasurechest

I once named a wizard:

Aspar Agus

I believe he was a vegetarian.

Did he have a sidekick named Brock O'Liegh?
Perhaps they hail from the Grand Duchy of Kollifleur?
Haha

Unless a campaign is meant to be comical, in the vein of Robert Asprin’s MythAdventures or Pratchett’s Discworld, punny names feel out of place. In one silly campaign I played in, I ran a minstrel named Justin Tonation.

Don't forget to bring along their brother, Justin Case.

(What? Their culture puts the clan name first.)

Case was the favored son who didn’t rebel against his parents’ wishes that he should pursue a career in law.

Back in our Classic TFT days, my brother won the award for both the longest and funniest name. It was for a gargoyle. I revived it as an NPC in my current campaign.

Hoondraskneltinskylipell Slofky. 'Hoon' for short.

Can't forget:

"Sil Vernnifesin"
"Stu Therinnards"
"Cheops Aleghoff"
"Bran Knupon"
And the mathematically challenged, half Mongol/half Cherokee,
"Huan Twotree"

😇
