I can't stand JRPGs. Not a single thing about them is good. The names aren't and excuse either. What kind of name is "Cloud"? What about "Dart"?

Deathwing, I mean really. Blizzard is usually so damn good at names and writing amazing lore/storylines, but I mean come on, they named a fucking giant earth dragon, the "aspect of death" who's trying to bring about the end of days, deathwing.

It's like a kids TV show all of a sudden, made all the more dissapointing considering how boss his trailer is.
Go back and play Warcraft II and be amazed as it turns out he has been named that since the beginning of the franchise!

Probably Max Payne. Cheesy names can be fine and appropriate in the right circumstances, but Max Payne makes it seem like they think they are tricky, or making a serious allusion to the pun in the name. Its hard to have a more over the top. Its like a poorly written cartoon for 7 year old boys, written by writters with no respect for a child's intelligence. It was terribly out of place, and made the game a little bit worse for me.

Heard about some fighting game or the other where the protagonist was named Sol Badguy. Reckon that wins.

On the other hand, a name that terrible has to be intentionally bad.
The whole Sol Badguy thing though is suppose to be a reference to Freddie Mercury though. Most of Guilty Gears names or move names are references to music or rock/metal music.

Ex. Other characters in the game are called Slayer, Testament, and Axl Low(based off of Axel Rose).

So I honestly wouldn't call it a bad name
Oh, right. Just completely absurd, then?

Albert Weskers pretty cool name considering theres Albert and Wesker in it.

Shepard. Adrian Shephard is still cool thought.

Seymour Guado from FFX.

Whenever I heard someone say his name all I could think of was Rick Moranis' character from Little Shop of Horrors, it is impossible to take a guy named Seymour seriously. Oh, and he's part Guado, so that's his last name. Of all the horrible names in Final Fantasy games his stands out the most to me.

Exdeath. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of the Squaresoft era FFs, but Exdeath? An eyebrow of "Wtf seriously?" was raised when first I saw that name.

Everything I list here would be the name of a Pokemon. This is why the nicknaming Pokemon feature exists.

Seriously, bro, Seel. Exeggcute. Ugh.

I love the game, but the name Agro from Shadow of the Colossus never sat right with me.

Maybe it's because Argo feels more natural as a name, but Agro just sounds like someone clearing their throat

OT: STARKILLER. Smacks of trying too hard to make something badass.
STARKILLER is just his code name, his real name was Galen Marek. Or are you talking about STARKILLER the clone in The Force Unleashed II?

(just realised what an utter geek I am for knowing all of that!)

Chrono Because it's a baby name. Like if I saw a baby I'd call it Chrono, because you know, it's a baby and it's weak
It should have a big tough name like HANK. Yeah. That's an awesome name for a character.

Link. Yes we get that he's an avatar and our link with the game your pun is so just amazing.

Also, Megaman or rather rockman. Why? Because his sister is roll and the incredibly lame pun on rock and roll is just so terrible.
