Drag queens have the best names. My favorite from this season of RuPaul’s Drag Race is Amanda Tori Meating.
She should have been an email.
Don’t you mean Annie Mail?
Well played. 👏
Do library cats’ names count? Like Catticus Finch and the Great Catsby?

My friend lived in a house with 4 other guys and all but one was athletic and outdoorsy. The other guy was a WOW addicted Mexican who never left his room except to get food deliveries or cigarettes. The others called him The Brown Recluse.
amazing

Donald Glover goes over his own name in one of his stand up specials. His parents named him “Don Glover”. I guess it’s better than Tess Tickles.

Ah thank you, it’s about time I replay Ace Attorney
It was actually a GURPS character I made for a homebrew setting. It was a male techpriest named Silas Berg who fell out of the imperium and was working to get back to his home. It took something like 6-8 months before my GM noticed, because I only ever used the full name once (initial introduction), then only ever called myself Sy in all interactions after that.
The day that he finally noticed glorious. He had captured our party and was going through the prisoner list. He got to me, read out 'Sy Berg’s, and I swear you could see him bluescreen for a second when he realized that he’d been running a game with a cyborg named cyborg for months without noticing.
Easily one of my favorite experiences in a TTRPG. I’m hopeful that when I get around to running my own game, I’m able to work in the story I’ve got in my head about the library dungeon that culminates in a fight with a wyrm. I really hope I get a similar reaction when I reveal that it’s actually a bookwyrm.
Slarty Bartfast?
I always wondered about that name. It seemed deliberate, but I didn’t know what he was going for. TIL
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slartibartfast
Douglas Adams wrote … that he wanted Slartibartfast’s name to sound very rude, but still actually be broadcastable. He therefore started with the name “Phartiphukborlz”…
…
“One thing I don’t think I explained in the script book was that I was also teasing the typist, Geoffrey [Perkins]'s secretary, because … she’d be typing out this long and extraordinary name which would be quite an effort to type and right at the beginning he says ‘My name is not important, and I’m not going to tell you what it is’. I was just being mean to Geoffrey’s secretary.”
That’s fantastic and I don’t doubt for a second he was being a smartass with his friend’s secretary. Hell, the first book was begun on a hillside in Amsterdam after plural bottles of wine and who knows what else. Makes perfect sense.
There are hills in Amsterdam? gasp
O’ranjelo and L’monjelo. I was told these were names of real kids, but that was third hand information and i was a kid myself, so probably just someone goofing.
