I have a raging paladin and raging warpriest, plans for a raging monk, raging cleric, raging magus, basically raging anything that wants to hit something.
Chess Pwn...how do you manage the raging Paladin and Monk? Is there an archetype that removes either the Lawful restriction on Paladins or Monks? Or, I suppose there could be a way to allow a Barbarian to be Lawful.
There are a race trait (for Aasimars) and a couple of archetypes (Martial Artist and one from Occult Adventures) that permit Monks to be non-lawful.
Bloodragers and VMC Barbarians can be lawful.
I thought that the Alchemist was one of the common multi-class combinations with Barbarian since the mutagen bonus to Strength and Rage bonus to Strength stack.
As for the Swashbuckler multiclass, Bloodrager works a lot better for that! They even have Versatile Weapon on their spell list so you can activate a wand for it.
VMC Barbarians?
I use bloodrager.
but there are a few monk archetypes that let them be neutral. martial artist and karmic are the ones I know of.
paladin can get it by having the archetype that gets domain and going rage.
The undead that Aragorn uses are already awake and causing trouble. Anyone taking the path he took were set upon by those undead. What Aragorn did was to proclaim his lineage, and offer a way for the undead to redeem themselves and thus be laid to rest.
While hiring evil mercenaries might be questionable, it is not an evil act.
/cevah
damn you neal with your click bait!
VMC Barbarians?
Variant Multiclassing, from Pathfinder Unchained.
Really. only Swashy was unseen much.
Then I remember Urban Barb or Savage Techno.

*reads list of "You'll Never Expect*
... you don't play a lot, do you?
To answer your question, I've played for about 10 years. However, many of the combinations I mention are the ones that people will ban, or argue against, because, "that's not how it's supposed to work." The objections are rarely mechanical; many players have archetypal images in their head, and when you go a different way with a class or mix, they get a brain bend. So I point out, whenever I can, there are more options than many of us think.
I once had someone argue for nearly half an hour that rogues had to be criminals, and that they couldn't be lawful. Said person then dug through the entire book, and half a dozen online resources, before admitting he was operating off of a personal opinion, rather than what was actually written in the game itself.
So it's not "never expect" but "not allowed", from experience then.

I gotta agree with Rysky here; these are all pretty common. There's far better choices you could have gone for here. I mean seriously, starting off with Rogue/Barb? This article reads like it was written by someone relatively new to the system to the point where I'm almost shocked you didn't list fighter too.

neither the shadowdancer nor the Occultist abilities are necessarily evil.I prefer undead summoning shadowdancer paladins to mess with expectations.Explain how you can get away with doing this? Summoning undead is an evil act, and creating such should case the paladin to fall.
In fact, the shadow companion summoned by the shadowdancer is explicitly the same alignment as the shadowdancer. The shadow they summon is LG.
The current party in my game has two characters with one level of rogue each. Both are lawful good -- in fact, they are the only lawful good party members.
One of them was my character. When she decided she needed thieves' tools, she went shopping for an "archeologist's kit" -- after all, she had no plans to do any "thieving".
