What are some of the most comical/ingenious/interesting character names you've seen (or made yourself)?
One of mine that I like is "Wtb An Eye." An IRL friend used to have this name on a PVP character, but then he deleted it, so I took the name. A favorite name I've seen in game recently is "Dee Wae."

My Rit was originally created just for random and oddball storage, so I named her "Miss Elaine E Us"
When we had a family account a dozen years ago, my son kept killing off and recreating characters. My husband got tired of it and told him that his next character was his last, or else... So he named it "The Grave Guard".
I've seen a bunch of funny names over the years, like "It Hurts When I Pre" (isn't he a member?) and some of them naughty, like ( "Mai Whang Hung Lo"), which eventually get changed. But one of the best that I saw was "No Good Names Left"...It really states the obvious!

Oh, the "pun" was very much intended indeed. My son has got some of the best character names I've ever seen. I still have "Grave" , as we refer to him, on my account. My current account was the family account until they all decided to get their own. I just can't get rid of my kids character after all the work they put into them The best part of it all is that now we can all play together,at the same time. I use their characters on my account, while playing with them on theirs. It's almost a mercenary hero thing, but involving 2 different accounts, lol!

My oldest necro had a forced name change and was "Generic Name Player" for a while.
I have a mesmer named "Liu Kaht Mai" made when i was in [JuGs]
I think "Ouch My Assassin" is a good name. ;P
My friend has a derv named "Derv Perv"
He also had "I Taste Your Fart" that got a name ban because it was 'offensive' (farts?). He was renamed to "Not Too Smelly" like the asuran title rank.
One random one I saw that was funny was a buxom female ele with barely there armor named "Solely Silicone" lol

My oldest necro had a forced name change and was "Generic Name Player" for a while. Felt its going to be interesting to mention although not exactly topic based. I had a similar thing with a default name like that , but happened in early days when i got hacked or someone broke in somehow, and i messaged Anet to get it back. First they gave me my account back with, 1 character named, 'Player Chosen Name' and on top of that i played for 2 years with the e-mail they gave me. It was something like arenanet@hotmail.net or something similar, been a long time. They did tell me to change it, but i felt like its cool to leave it like this. Also left that character name for 1 year or so!

Speaking of that, I did have an elonian indian looking ele that survived until I deleted him named "Apu Dinmaipantz" that I used to sit in town dancing with no pants...

My oldest necro had a forced name change and was "Generic Name Player" for a while. A little clarification... His name got banned which was a forced name change after the ban was over, I couldn't think of a name. That name was me naming him not some random anet assigned name. If a name ban happened they would suspend you for a couple days then when you next logged in you were prompted to input a new name before you could play the name banned character. I later did a paid name change on him, he is still around as Ten Little Minons (like the old ten little indians rhyme)

My Husband got his account banned twice, but honestly, he was asking for it! He named his Necro "Back off B*tch" and lost 2 weeks. He dropped the "itch" and that satisfied them, "Back off B" is still running around Pre. And then there was Humpme Dumpme..... Tell me, In what world does a player think that a name like that won't cause a problem? Sometimes I think the kids have more sense than him...

I saw 3 good ones tonight in my wanderings... "Bob Gnarley Mon" was hanging out in Kamadan, as was "Shadow Form Failure", But when I got to Umbral Grotto, I really had to laugh... "Ward Against Stupid" took the prize!

Humpme Dumpme reminded me of Nil and Dil that used to hang in pre... and Dil's character named "Dil Does" that was kinda short lived iirc "Ward Against Stupid" is the best of the ward spells, don't you use it during Mhenlo/Togo quests and missions so they are smart enough to not get stuck on a chest or ambient animal? I actually once saw a character with the exact name of a friends younger son, it was kinda of odd considering how 'unique'ish his name is. I'm talking full first and last name spelled in game the same as the kids birth certificate. I asked the player if he new someone with the name irl but he said he made it up lol.
