The most ridiculous character name in a game EVER!!!!

[Tinneh]

Jet Brody from Fracture. If there was such thing as a "randomized cliche'd action hero protagonist name generator", that name would be the first thing to pop out of it.

I see you also read GameInformer?

 

[MK Tha Rebel]

Abercrombie Fizzwidget from Ratchet and Clank 3.

Now, this one wasn't in a game, but needs to be mentioned. A Japanese wrestler who's best known by his ring name...

Dick Togo.
Yep. Dick Togo.

 

[Poketom]

Probably some of the pun-tastic names in Ace Attorney.

Anyone care to mention a few?

 

[Zetsubou-Sama]

Butz is the bad translation for Bartz and Exdeath used to be called Exodus i think.

 

[Divine Miss Bee]

Nouns are stupid names. I AM LOOKING AT YOU FINAL FANTASY! It is a terrible naming scheme to just arbitrarily name your characters after things. Is it supposed to represent the character or their personality somehow? It doesn't matter, that's still the kind of characterization and writing a fifth grader uses.

well, i think it's due to translating from the japanese-everyone's name means something, and instead of finding the western name that means the same thing, they just translate and are done with it.

on topic-anyone heard of alucard? now THERE'S one with no imagination behind it.

I think the Pokemon with the worst names were Koffing and Weezing.

 

[The Night Shade]

Waka who the hell think that was a good name

Loppak Slusk.

He's an alien, but so what?

[oktalist]

Chell
Samus Aran
Strelok

 

[Acting like a FOOL]

EDGE...MAVERICK..

 

[Nannernade]

Well... one that I can think of would be Garza from Fallout 3. (He's a useless character anyway, can't even suck it up long enough to run to safety... pansy...

 

[MySoxSmell]

[Comrade Mateo]

Bernie from Lost Planet. Although he can surround aliens well...

 

[kaveradeo]

Cloud, what kind of child hating hippy would name their kid that?

Better than Lightning...

Those are the names I immediately thought of, too. Squall, Raine, whatever his dad's name was (it was probably stupid, too).

And from 10, Wakka. WTF, c'mon. AND he was yellow! How am I supposed to NOT say his name like a pacman sound effect?!

 

[esperandote]

Donkey Kong, the only one I could think of
