[True Fire]

Dudu from The Witcher III. Every time Geralt said that name I giggled like a second grader who just heard his teacher say Uranus.

Also Trololo the Troll. Completely broke my immersion.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Bunhivelze (I don't even know how to spell it)

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Cofagrigus.

I have NO CLUE what TPCI, or whoever decides upon the dub names, was thinking. I mean, it's a mummy Pokemon, it shouldn't be that hard to come up with a simple pun for that. The Japanese name is the pretty cool デスカーン, usually romanticized as Deathkan meaning "death coffin".

But no, we get COFAGRIGUS, a name so bad it even originally set off the censor and couldn't be traded online! I guess the pun is "coffin" plus "egregious" as people speculate, and should be pronounced sort of like "sarcophagus", but it's clunky as fuck and there's no way someone can look at this name and think, yes, that's what we'll name a creature in a series with mass market appeal.

 

[Sölf]

Stahl. Come on. Especially in the german version of Fire Emblem Awakening. I mean, he is literally just called "Steel".

 

[OMG Aero]

I can't tell if this robot boss from Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon 2 has a silly name or the greatest name:

 

[Dennis]

Edge Maverick

Trying so hard that it ends up working.

 

[Akiyama_AE]

Garcia Fucking Hotspur

 

[SonyToo!™]

The 1990 Codemasters home computer game Rock Star Ate My Hamster was a silly pop band management sim, it used real Pop stars with slightly changed names like Wacko Jacko & String https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Star_Ate_My_Hamster

 

[SatoAilDarko]

[Possumowner]

Pizza Pasta from Punch Out..i mean its lazy but the worst is That Man from Guilty Gear xrd

 

[MrBadger]

I can't tell if this robot boss from Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon 2 has a silly name or the greatest name:

[CraigerGamer]

Buttsmasherrr


Most any enemy in Destiny. I love the game but I think they could have come up with a few better names than The ______.

 

[Genryu]

Ctrl+F "Nrvnqsr"

Nrvnqsr Chaos from Melty Blood

Spoiler

Nrvnqsr is pronounced Nero.

Damnit, that was my choice.

 

[PotionBleue]

Many Xenoblade Chronicles “unique monsters” have ridiculous names like:
Flabbergasted Jerome
Immovable Gonzalez
Despotic Arsene
Indomitable Daulton
Prudent Purson
Veteran Yozel
Officer Robusto
Proper Bandaz
Vague Barbas
Unreliable Rezno
Splendid Botis
Mild Florence
Infernal Crocell

But these are great names.

 

[Dicer]

Master Chief

And


Guy Kazama

 

[KJRS_1993]

Anything in Destiny.
(Pretentious Word) of (Pretentious Word)
Sword of Crota
Shrine of Oryx
Vault of Glass
Trials of Osiris
And so on and so forth.

 

[MrBadger]

Phoenix Wright has never been subtle with names but this guy gets in one car accident and they call him Carmine Accidenti

And then there's Deid Mann. Try to guess what his role is in the murder mystery.

 

[gigantor21]

Mild Florence

The final boss, I'm assuming?

 

[SolidSnakex]

I can't tell if this robot boss from Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon 2 has a silly name or the greatest name:

Some garage metal band just found their name.

 

[VanillaCakeIsBurning]

Gun Stablader

 

[KevinCow]

You list a bunch of Mega Man X bosses in the OP, and you left out DUFF MCWHALEN?

 

[G-Fex]

MAX FORCE

HIT MAN

 

[uceenk]

[ref]

Hot Coldman and Pacifica Ocean take the cake.

 

[finngamer]

Samurai Shodown has a character called Nicotine Caffeine.

 

[Slamtastic]

Benedict "Kazuhira" "McDonell" "Master" Miller

 

[Brashnir]

Bobbin Threadbare from Loom.

 

[antitrop]

Master Chief

Master Chief is dumb, because it's just a rank of the Navy. It's like just naming the protagonist of Call of Duty "Sergeant Major".

 

[Alebrije]

FFX

 

[Hypron]

Punished "Venom" Snake.

I mean, I love the game, but, yeah.

When you think about it, even Big Boss sounds goofy as fuck.

 

[Etrian Oddity]

Hot Coldman.

HOT.
COLDMAN.

Dat Neogaf first post. Always on point.

 

[tirkaroKujo]

ok I honestly have no idea how I flubbed that up considering how much I spam this video

 

[Fermbiz]

Egil from Bravely Default. I hate that stupid name so much. If I could rename him, it would be Kegel.

 

[HTupolev]

Master Chief is dumb, because it's just a rank of the Navy. It's like just naming the protagonist of Call of Duty "Sergeant Major".

No, it's like if the protagonist of Call of Duty had been so prominent in a role where he was constantly referred to as "Sergeant Major" that he began to be referred to in-universe as "the Sergeant Major" as a sort of unique honorific.

The character from Halo is named John.

 

[Manu]

Holy shit. I'm dying.

 

[jotun?]

FF5, X-Death

 

[Dice//]

Xenoblade

A lot of these sounded like some name-in-game contest I never knew about.
Anyways, I always found 'Immovable Gonzalez' pretty memorable.

'Offensive/HONEY' is great too.

 

[buddha0991]

Master Chief

Edge Maverick

Edge Maverick makes me laugh every time. Trying way too hard.
