wow I must print off that wine list.
I have had several people like the name enough to jump into our PbP and comment on the name Priapus
Of course I tend to gank good names when I hear them since I cant seem to think of good ones myself.
I used one name with a pc that I found from a previous job. I talked to a man named Romulus Frost. Loved the name and just had to use it.
I did also have a monk named Miri. Miri Kell.

Ugg the Cave Wookie (he had an Int of 3), prone to getting himself locked in the fresher or attempting to intimidate foes by licking the blood off of his vibro-axe while it was still on...buzzzz...
Sharka Kendarek.
Lots of 'k' sure, but very good name for a BBEG in a campaign of mine. 10 years after, my players still refer to warlocks as 'sharka-kendarek likes'.

I have a player who is pretty new to the game, only ever having played video-game rpgs, notably everything Final Fantasy (She attempted to pick pocket a ghost in her first encounter :P) But of the two characters she's made she has shown a habit of naming them something backwards, her rogue was named Ycats (pronounced Yea-cats) and Recnad Wodahs the ranger (Shadow Dancer backwards from the mini she chose). The most amusing part is the rogue recently hit level 5 and the group made friends with a council member who was almost assassinated and they were given a special ceremony and her response was "Man I wish I had actually thought of a better name, Ycats is stupid, what was I thinking?" I find this amusing and cool, due to the fact she is developing an actual concerm for her character enough that her name matters :P
I played in a game 25 years ago with a fellow character named Ralph Ivan Snatcher Titzov. I remember almost nothing else from that game.
my one gnome character was named Zook Bandersnatch
also had a halfling dragon-slayer named Hobb Warwick
and even tho the hero's builder guide specifically says its a bad idea, i'm waiting for the chance to use Fonkin Hoddypeaks!
Nimble the Elf. ;) (Lettin' my ol' skewl show)
Porkins - gomorean (sp?) scout SW:SAGA
Bobert Badgerback - werebadger gnome druid NPC
One of these days I want to have an elf called Orion Hatch. :D
I liked the paladin, Sir Justin the Just, Justicar of Justice.
Catseye Yellow, a character from the book "Cats Have No Lord".
Names I've come up with for my characters that I remember fondly? Well, there's:
Ahem...Mempter--my longest running, oldest surviving character.
"Grimshod", a nickname for a fighter I ran for awhile.
"The Smiling Viper", another nickname I gave to another character that someone else ran for a time.

I would just like to point out that the first one on this list....yeah that one is a pig with a first AND last name.
How can you not love that.
A friend who was GMing once created an NPC, Liba of Clan Reche. He had a thing for bright red sequin cloaks.
My personal favorites are in no particular order....
Hawkstone - I use this for a barbarian or dwarf every couple or years and is often an online handle, last names vary dependent on race.
Gabriel De'Wynter - Rogue Swashbuckler types.
Screaming Pheonix - Another Barbarian ...usually more tribal often Native American is RP style.
Ahrune - Sometimes shortened to just Rune, again last names vary, usually this is a more Fighter bent character, but not always.
Altair Anton Alucard- my current rogue, who has to use all three names when he introduces himself.
Desmond LaGato - Havent used it in a while but was a favorite Bard/Cleric of Rougish bent in the college years.
Artemis Dragonetti - Another I havent used in a while was a Sorcerer with many pecular quirks and habits, like never sitting in chairs, making all his spells effects blue in color etc...
oh.. and one that isn't mine but always made me laugh.
I good friend once played a halfling named : T. Baggins
In 2E I had a player with a half ogre barbarian called Gonad the Barbarian.

Valterra Deathwalk, LG cleric of Kelemvor (death and travel domains).
Cythe the rogue, nicknamed 'Twitch' after botching every attempt to disarm electrical traps he encountered.
Killum Ded, dwarf fighter name randomly generated from a dwarven race guidebook.
Along the lines of characters named after wines, I was in a WoW guild where pretty much all the founders names were of alcohols:
Zinfandel, Ketelone, Merlot, Riesling, Chardonnay, Bordeaux
I think the guildleader being a professional wine-taster had something to do with it.

Heh. In 2e my wizard character was "Merlot the Magician." He wore a red cape and a red hat with a cardinal feather in it.
Continuing the alcohol theme, I've also played a bard named Talisker, who was apprenticed to the Great Druid Lagavulin. And I once rolled up a dwarf fighter named Oban MacGarioch.
A few that have cropped up in games I've run:
Xkvarkius the Crazed - 1st Ed MU who refused to warn the party of impending fireballs. Achieved lichdom in long term campaign play.
Burnum Burnum - 2nd Ed Wiz with a penchant for fire-based spells.
Amatheon Constantine DeBeurr - 2nd Ed Wiz who seemed to be able to put foes to sleep at will, often without the aid of magic.
Arfa Kupful, of Kofee - yet another MU, from a one-shot 1st Ed session.
For some reason fighters don't seem to come up with interesting names in my campaigns.
Reggie.
NPC Charles Lightsark, AKA "Chuck the Duck." Don't ask.
Goofier: In grade school my friend had a cleric named Bud the Wiser; his steed's name was Charley the Horse.
A friend of mine once played a charming halfling rogue who called himself Pizzywinkle because "it sounds vaguely naughty in a cute but still lecherous way"
Heh.
We've had a few, but the best I can recall was one of my friends.
He had a Halfling 1E/2E thief character named "Nigel the Nosebreaker, Laughing Lady Killer"
Apparently named after some of the character's more memorable adventures!

I had a National Geographic map of the moon and another of constellations. I used close my eyes and point to the map, and choose whatever crater or star my finger was under.
The moon map also the moons of other planets...so my 1e fighter's name was Triton Japetus (should have been Iapetus, but I misread it as a J), after two moons of Saturn and Neptune.
My last character in Jason's Eberron game was Visoka Despaxia. These are two genera of stoneflies in North America.....did I mention I am an aquatic entomologist?
I had a character named: Ralph La Mao ("Rof l mao"), the next PC I came up with got nixed right off the bat becuase the name was: Mali Cious ("Mali Cuuz").
Ochan Cheddarwood (Druid) - Ochan backwards is nacho, a former player ripped the name from a bag of Doritos.
Enitocin The Ranger - Player was a smoker, read it backwards.
Boogaloo Gobbledygook - Short lived halfling.
Myrtul The Mighty (NPC) - Feminine male burly Orc fighter with an intelligence of 4 and a pet Osquip, named after the FR month of May.
Hot Sauce Guy - my Fire/Fire Blaster, City of Heroes mmorpg (I loved this toon).
Spellvira - one of my alts in WoW, Mage.
Spellvira - one of my alts in WoW, Mage.
LOL... I don't know why, but this reminds me of the character Batmanuel from the show The Tick.

What is "Cats Have No Lord" about?
I once had a ranger called 'Dubious Rendezvous'. He was in a party with a druid/bard (yes, a druid/bard) who made up a tune (sung to the tune of Rudolph the Reindeer). It went something like...
"Rudolph the Shot-Dead Reindeer,
Had a Dubious Rendezvous"
Ah, those were the days...
:)
