My friend lived in a house with 4 other guys and all but one was athletic and outdoorsy. The other guy was a WOW addicted Mexican who never left his room except to get food deliveries or cigarettes. The others called him The Brown Recluse.

Donald Glover goes over his own name in one of his stand up specials. His parents named him “Don Glover”. I guess it’s better than Tess Tickles.

Here in dutchland this family by the name of 'Modder' (meaning mud) gave their baby girl the traditional Frisian name 'Fokje', which is female of 'Fokke' which is Frisian for Alphonse.
They obviously didn't speak English as 'Fokje Modder' pronounces as 'Fuck yer mother'.
I read "dutchland" as "Deutschland" (which means Germany)
Also also, herr van Lemmy, das klinkt wie Duitsland!

Ah thank you, it's about time I replay Ace Attorney
Slarty Bartfast?
I always wondered about that name. It seemed deliberate, but I didn't know what he was going for. TIL
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slartibartfast
Douglas Adams wrote ... that he wanted Slartibartfast's name to sound very rude, but still actually be broadcastable. He therefore started with the name "Phartiphukborlz"...
...
"One thing I don't think I explained in the script book was that I was also teasing the typist, Geoffrey [Perkins]'s secretary, because ... she'd be typing out this long and extraordinary name which would be quite an effort to type and right at the beginning he says 'My name is not important, and I'm not going to tell you what it is'. I was just being mean to Geoffrey's secretary."
It was actually a GURPS character I made for a homebrew setting. It was a male techpriest named Silas Berg who fell out of the imperium and was working to get back to his home. It took something like 6-8 months before my GM noticed, because I only ever used the full name once (initial introduction), then only ever called myself Sy in all interactions after that.
The day that he finally noticed glorious. He had captured our party and was going through the prisoner list. He got to me, read out 'Sy Berg's, and I swear you could see him bluescreen for a second when he realized that he'd been running a game with a cyborg named cyborg for months without noticing.
Easily one of my favorite experiences in a TTRPG. I'm hopeful that when I get around to running my own game, I'm able to work in the story I've got in my head about the library dungeon that culminates in a fight with a wyrm. I really hope I get a similar reaction when I reveal that it's actually a bookwyrm.
O’ranjelo and L’monjelo. I was told these were names of real kids, but that was third hand information and i was a kid myself, so probably just someone goofing.

Playing D&D, we inherited a haunted tavern that was home to a ghost named Lift (tbf, that's the name we gave it since it could only communicate by lifting things). After we solved the mystery of Lift and allowed the spirit to pass on to the afterlife, we renamed the tavern The Lifted Spirits.

Colonel Angus is always a classic.
Not sure if it was a real name or a joke, but I had a service ticket once for Stu Pedasso. It gave me a light chuckle.

The other is a Shadar-kai Circle of Moon Druid. His name is:
Hrast Quercus
I don't get the second one
Hrast is Croation for Oak.
Quercus is the genus of the oak tree
So his name is Oak Oak.

This is a scene from asdfmovie (I can't remember which one in the series):
"Dad, I'm hungry.
Hi Hungry, I'm Dad.
Why did you name me this way?"
Bond movies cringe at this thread.

And, if we're being blunt and using British slang, Roger Moore.
Nothing. Those have style. My point exactly.
