Inquisitor 11 / Sentinel 5 / Stalwart Defender 1, picks up the Stalwart and Improved Stalwart feats along the way.
That's two class abilities called "Stalwart", doing very different things, a feat called "Stalwart" doing a third third, along with the prestige class "Stalwart Defender".
Am I missing any? :)
Ah, forgot to dip a level of Paladin to take the Stalwart of the Society trait, pick up my Band of the Stalwart warrior headband, and take Stalwart Resolve for one of my Inquisitor spells.

Man, it could be worse. Monster name bloat ends up in a similar place when people keep picking 'obscure' words for monsters instead of fancy goofy made up names.
I remember in 2e, trying to GM for a rules lawyer type and whenever I said stuff like "he's a sinister blackguard," he thought I was talking about some sort of weird shadow creatures called 'sinisters.' Not to mention if it was 3e, he'd be immediately assuming he was a 'Blackguard' class as opposed to, you know, a jerk.
This reminds me of encountering an unfamiliar incorporeal undead.
DM: "You see a spectral, ghostly, wraith like shadowy apparition!"

Yeah...
"Oh crap its a templated apparition!"Lets not forget the 2e to 3e obvious change. The Arcane (now the Mercane), I'm just envisioning the hilarity of being sent after an 'Arcane spellcaster' and finding out he's clerical and not arcane .
"But you said he's an arcane spellcaster!"
"No I said he was an Arcane spellcaster!"
Its why I prefer titles or weird names to stuff like just calling an entire race 'Runagates' or something. Makes it tough when you want to use another word for outcast or exile.
Mind Flayer and Illithid are both good evocative names, being a title and their own nonsense word respectively.

If you are still DMing for this player, you should try this.
Where would we be without Beholders though? ... Oh... Playing Pathfinder ;-)

Don't speak too soon; it would be all too easy to make a "Mind" template, and a "Flayer" class =D
I think the next Pathfinder module is named Stalwart Bastards of Carrion.
