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. 👏

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

Also, I used to have a friend called BroDeal because he used to flip land. Then he became an Ayahuasca shamen and now people call him "the profit"

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
Here in dutchland this family by the name of 'Modder' (meaning mud) gave their baby girl the traditional Frisian name 'Fokje', which is female of 'Fokke' which is Frisian for Alphonse.
They obviously didn't speak English as 'Fokje Modder' pronounces as 'Fuck yer mother'.
I read "dutchland" as "Deutschland" (which means Germany)
Also also, herr van Lemmy, das klinkt wie Duitsland!
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.
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.

Playing D&D, we inherited a haunted tavern that was home to a ghost named Lift (tbf, that's the name we gave it since it could only communicate by lifting things). After we solved the mystery of Lift and allowed the spirit to pass on to the afterlife, we renamed the tavern The Lifted Spirits.

Not a name, but a fun one...
The Bible is not an archaic edict.
Because you can't have archaic and edict too!
I like the robot in the dogman books named 80-Hexotron Droidformigon. AKA: 80-HD
Colonel Angus is always a classic.
Not sure if it was a real name or a joke, but I had a service ticket once for Stu Pedasso. It gave me a light chuckle.
There was a NASCAR driver named Dick Trickle. The only motorsportsman I'm aware of named after a symptom of enlarged prostate.
I'm currently playing in two D&D 5e campaigns.
Silver-Dragonborn Cleric, Twilight Domain named:
Argentus
The other is a Shadar-kai Circle of Moon Druid. His name is:
Hrast Quercus
I don't get the second one
Hrast is Croation for Oak.
Quercus is the genus of the oak tree
So his name is Oak Oak.

Bond movies cringe at this thread.
What's so wrong about Pussy Galore, Holly Goodhead, Honey Ryder, Dr. Molly Warmflash and Octopussy?
And, if we're being blunt and using British slang, Roger Moore.
Nothing. Those have style. My point exactly.
This is a scene from asdfmovie (I can't remember which one in the series):
"Dad, I'm hungry.
Hi Hungry, I'm Dad.
Why did you name me this way?"
