Council of Thieves:
Our Hellknight Dwarf got the nickname Captain Cheliax. And yes, he had a throwing shield. He probably would have had the returning quality if we had completed the campaign.
Randolph Scott, my Magic User supreme! (if I didn't mention him before)
Back in time, when only who had read certain texts knew certain names, my very first character's name was Belial.

Gamma World game - had some very weird and characters with names to follow, here are a few -
Skot Towels - was a Pure Strain Human but was in fact a parasitic creature keeping the PSH host alive. Skot wasn't very bright and in fact was a bit of a dumbass (PSH are are supposed to be smart and charismatic) which made others who met him get the sense that there was something really wrong with the guy (the parasite was hidden).
Ryken-Ti (from Ryken Tires) - Human cyborg assassin wannabe. Didn't realize the source of his name till one day I was standing near a car talking to a friend when I noticed the brand of tires on the car.
Deathsymbiote - A mutated bipedal porcupine, died a very horrible death under a barrage of lasers from a Warbot.
R. Lee Ermey was the Drill Instructor our crew ran into today....an NPC for sure.
We had a half-orc in the party named Goregutz. He was entertaining to say the least.
I love the names my little brother and his friends have come up with.
Lamriel Brightflame - Elf Bard/Arcane Archer
Aaron the Unfortunate - Human Arcane Trickster
A few years back I had a pair of NPC's that were hired mercs. The PC's ran into them in several different places during the campaign. One was a half orc named Blood and the other was an ogre named Guts.
The third time the party ran into them at a mountain pass inn, one of the players said "Man, we see Blood and Guts everywhere."

Well, we seem to have another 'Nil' in our group. It may not be a great name, but it is popular!

I'm one of three GMs of a joint Age of Worms game. In the game, there's a metaplot involving a power struggle between the Thanes of Tiamat on one side, and Lashonna and Dragotha on the other side. One of the co-GMs has decided that the new Red Thane is named Steliokontos. Every time he says the name, I die a little inside.
I would too.

Well, here's another one from D&D past -
Gene-Eric the Cleric
Was a common Cleric name circa 84-86, playing a pick up game (DM just bought a new module) and the player was stumped for an idea as to what to call his guy (and just wanted to play already).
TBH, since character design and optimization in most gaming systems was very limited back in the day, the characters name and description was the largest input of creativity on the players part.
In my current campaign we have a character named Princess Dee Dee, so I couldn't help but to name my Paladin Dexter...some people got it before I started with the off-germanic-esk accent.
