(Ponder and JuJu were from an old D&D 3.0 - 3.5 game.)

When GMing I try to keep the punning to a minimun but I just had to try this one in a game; 'Signora Rosabella De Palma', owner and Madam of "La Cinque Figlie".

When I was in school, a friend had an Asian character (IIRC, a magic user -- this was ADnD 2e) named -- ahem -- Hu Flung Pu.

Huang Chung and Hao Long tend to make it into my campaigns somewhere (Hao Long is invariably some kind of tailor as well...)

Well, then there's always the brothels where you find Phuc Nu, Lo Dong, Thi Hoa, not to mention the Suc sisters Truc and Long.

In my X-com campaign, anticipating a high body count, I asked the players to do another character for them to assume if/when their PC died:

One of the backup chars names was Justin Case.

The James Bond franchise has the best example of misogynistic (probably depends on who you talk to http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...=Google+Search ) female names out there.

Miss Onatopp or something like that. My favorite is Plenty O'Toole :)
