Game characters with stupid names

[Killer Rabbit]

Megaman. It's like Dr. Light picked the name to make the point "Hurr Durr, this robot special"
Even worse, before Megaman, they considered Rainbowman, based off megamn's color changes based onh is current weapon.

Majority of the characters from Final Fantasy. Cloud, Squall, Noctis, Hope, Quistis, Bartz...so many of them are just weird.

As much as i love FF i have to agree.
Captain Basch Fon Ronsenburg being another prime example. (even if i did name my hamster after him, ahem...)

 

[Valiance]

Entire cast of Evolution 2: Far Off Promise.

Especially Mag Launcher, Linear Cannon, Gre Nade, and Chain Gun.

(yes character names I'm not fucking kidding)

 

[Dr. Wily III]

Trauere Wrede

Spoiler

I hate it sometimes when Japanese use german words...

 

[open trap]

soap mctavish

 

[UberMore]

It's not a game character, and it's not a stupid name, bit I feel now is the time. Staff Sergeant Max Fightmaster. That's gotta be the most badass name in history.

OT: I guess i'm going to have to agree with a previous post, mentioning Cloud and Link.

Cracked.com reference!!
Yeah, Cloud Strife is a pretty poor name.
My personal choice is...any Bond villain.

Master Chief is a pretty stupid name, but don't tell the fanboys or anyone with a passion for military ranks.

I have a personal dislike of Three-Dog from Fallout 3. He doesn't seem to have any connection to a dog, let alone three of them. Unless his name is really an answer to 'how many penises do you have?'.

his name is john btw so yeah...

True Master Chief's real name is John, but you can only know that through reading the extra books. Because I don't think the games even hint at his name. Also, his rank.... that's a non-combat rank I believe. So overall kind of a dumb name (and yes I play Halo, and yes I can list major issues with the game. Go me for not being a rabid fanboy!!)

OT: Anyways, I agree with Nexus: Three-Dog is a terrible name haha. Though, I didn't care for Three Dog, all he ever did was annoy me.

Duke Nukem ... seriously, fucking lame.

in game cortana calls him john. it was either 1 or 3.

Two new ones come right to mind: Grunt and Subject Zero from Mass Effect 2 (coming out 1/26/10 in the U.S., 1/29/10 in Europe.), but yeah Cao Pi is stupider (someone didn't think to look this one over obviously.)

 

[FairlyFrightenedFeline]

Detective Gumshoe. I mean kind of confusing.

 

[Redingold]

Assassins Creed 2-Ezio??

Means eagle in Italian, I think, much like how Altair is Arabic for the flying one (in other words, the eagle). Hence Eagle Vision.

 

[The_ModeRazor]

Gordon Freeman.
Free man my arse.


*this was ironic. I think the symbolism in his name is pretty good*

 

[t0mba]

Korn from jet set radio future

 

[irishdelinquent]

Harry Tipper. That is all.

 

[Redingold]

The Boss

her name is The Boss she doesn't haveany other name
The Cobra unit also suffers from the same thing and also Big Boss

Solid/Liquid and Solidus snake

They do have real names, you just aren't told them. Big Boss' real name was John. Snake was named "David". Why would an elite special ops team use their real names, anyway?

Also, George Sears.

I thought Big Boss's real name was Jack?

Solid Snake doesn't have a real name and if he did it wasn't truly his because he's just a copy of their father Big Boss.

Solid Snake's real name is David.

Solid Snake's real name is David.

Solid Snake does not have a "real" name because he has no past,present or future he just a tool of war. Just like Liquid said they are just copies of their father Big Boss.

So you're suggesting that Snake lied to Meryl if you save her in MGS1?
