1) Dick Gumshoe from Phoenix Wright
2) Wakka from Final Fantasy X
3) Wolf Hawkfield from Virtua Fighter
4&5) C'mon, Master Chief and Cloud Strife too...
 
Phoenix Wright taking first place in OP if course, but out if all the names in the series you pick Dick Gumshoe??
(It's "Misty Fey".)
 
Gumshoe is a great name for that series. I mean if that bothers you then why not list every other character in the series?



Anyway my vote is for EDGE MAVERICK.
 
I still think the Organization XIII names are stupid and the formula behind the names of jumbling the real name and adding "X" is even dumber.
 
Dick Gumshoe is like... perfectly named and localized, especially for something like the Ace Attorney universe which has a lot of these types of names, even in the Japanese versions.
Not only do you get the two synonyms, one each for the first and last names, but his name is almost the antithesis of his ability lol.
Master Chief is his rank, though.

WaLuigi...

And his name is John lol.
 
Sorey

like wtf ?

also i remember, my brother was watching me play the MGS3 ending and when the president goes "You are above the boss, we hereby award you the title of BIG boss"

my brother started laughing uncontrollable like what the hell is this shit.
 
Would the unique monster names from Xenoblade Chronicles count? If so, then Proper Bandaz

If not, then I'm just going to say Dingo Egret from Zone of the Enders

You failed as a brother, you should have showed him where the title of Boss comes from. With a powerpoint presentation divided in six sessions, to make things easier for him to understand.
 
Fendi Nin (Guild Wars: Eye of the North) is a stupid sounding name. Perhaps there's a meaning behind it taken from the real world, which is often the case (and I'm inadvertently insulting some people's culture, I'm sorry!) but it is a stupid name.
