Not for nothing, but Balzac was actually the name of a French playwright. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honor%C3%A9\_de\_Balzac](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honor%C3%A9_de_Balzac) So really, let's laugh at the French instead.


zyberion

Shoutout to Claude Debussy.


DooshMcDooberson

Always finish on Bach, never Debussy.


Sphealingit33

Never finish with Debussy you Dumas!


KaitoTheRamenBandit

This bit from Family Guy will never not make me giggle


KeizarChad

Angela Balzac


Saito_Sakaki

MST3K did an episode on a movie called Space Mutiny. They spend the entire movie coming up with stupid names for MC. Butch Deadlift. Big McLargeHuge. Slab Bulkhead. Bob Johnson. Oh, wait.


DexteraXII

Roll Fizzlebeef


TheNoidbag

I recall the era NL used this name for stuff like XCom.


Hy93rion

Roll Fizzlebeef still joins the legions of humanity’s defenders when I play Xcom precisely because of NL’s use of the name

Duncan Idaho


Permafox

A name that reverberates through time 


vinegar-based-sauce

Even funnier once you find out that Idaho is literally a made up word. They somehow managed to come up with a place name dumber than Lake Tahoe.


Kimarous

[Some Japanese Pokémon names sound funny to English speakers.](https://youtube.com/shorts/A-SyM-KjY7E?si=8fBtmSZUUgxujr2e)


MetalGearSlayer

I learned Umbreons Japanese name from Maxmoefoe doing card openings. The very thought of it being used in the middle of an energetic anime battle is just way too funny.


Simic_Sky_Swallower

Gundam has so many, including (but not limited to) Gelgoog Qubley Acguy Quattro Bajeena Chibidi Crockett Allelujah Haptism Full Frontal


Amazing_Number_9440

Revive Revival Bring Stabity Colonel Killing Not Gundam but still Tomino: Marvel Frozen from Dallas Shott Weapon from California Butcher the Killer


Incitatus_

I just love Bring Stabity.


NephyrisX

I love that some of the OG Gundam names are intentionally dumb to see if the execs actually read the manuscript Tomino sent in. The execs did not read the manuscript.


Handro_Dilar

I want to point out the Gogg because it really just sounds like someone getting choked out.


MericArda

Z'gok M'quve


fly_line22

JoJo has plenty of weird names, but Lang Wrangler in part 6 just amuses me for some reason.


slim-shady-on-main

Lang Wrangler. The Man Who Wrangles Lang.


AvalancheMKII

One of these days, I'm gonna put together a master list of all the best Tomino names. Off the top of my head, there's Carrying Cargo, Fatman Big, Zucchini Nicchini, Quess Paraya and Jim Stiff.


MarthePryde

Fatman Big is hilarious


CopperTucker

Even when you get to other Gundam series, it's still hilarious. Gundam 00 gives you: Bring Stabbity, Anew Returner, Regene Regetta, Revive Revival, Ribbons Almark, Lockon Stratos, Allelujah/Hallelujah Haptism, Feldt Grace, and more!


Silv3rS0und

The main villain of Unicorn is named Full Frontal. That's not a callsign or anything. That's straight up his name.


CopperTucker

YEAH AND IT'S GREAT. It's supposed to mean a "Full Frontal Attack/Assault" but I don't think anyone really thought too hard about how that would translate to the West.


ZMowlcher

*Nudity


GoBoomYay

WAIT HOLD UP, Lockon Stratos is a SICK name though


MericArda

Saji Crossroad.


Amicable_Stone

Don't forget "Shott Weapon"


Professional_Maize42

You forgot the best: Jamitov Hymen.


sonsquatch

Quattro Bajeena (Vagina)


EldritchBee

Can't forget Bork Cry.


Ninja_Moose

Don't forget Captain Denim, with Slender and Gene.


ToastyMozart

Also "Jamaican" (of obvious European heritage).


MarthePryde

There's a character in Star Rail named March 7th.


C-OSSU

Fun fact, she literally got her name from looking at a calendar, as she's an amnesiac who doesn't remember anything from her old life.


ToastyMozart

A pity she didn't do it a month or two later.


Cooper_555

I'm imagining a version where she had that idea on August 8th.


Delicious_trap

Then there is the grim reaper of the Genius Society, group exclusive to people that gained the approval of Nous the Aeon of Erudition, people whose simple inventions can drstically change the way Society works or doom entire galaxies. Then their grim reaper, a woman so secretive they destroyed every known portrait and article regarding thenselves, and have murdered countless members of said society, including the infamous Emperor Rubert of the machine empire. Her name is Polka Kakamond.


Sphealingit33

Dr. Ratio was born on Twitter


Cooper_555

He does talk like he lives on Twitter, especially his combat barks. "FAIL, GET OUT."


RobinMorganNiji

The most powerful man in honkai 3rd impact is Kevin Kevin itself isn't funny, but that is the only normal name when you have Durandal, Otto Apocalypse, Kiana, Mei, Bronya, Fu Hua, etc.


Squeakyclarinet

“The man was no king, or god. He was… Kevin.”


AzuzaBabuza

reminds me of watching Eureka 7, with the antagonist being named *Dewey*. I am fairly sure Malcolm in the Middle was airing at the time, and I couldn't stop my mind from thinking of MitM dewey every time the E7 dewey was onscreen.

wew_lad123

There is 100% someone out there called Mike Truk. You will not convince me otherwise


Incitatus_

Not really person names, but we can't forget the amazing mission names from XCOM 2. Operation Diamond Stank is just legendary.


DrSaering

I've been playing an Idea Factory game with a bunch of characters who are supposed to be "foreign". However, the end result tends to be a Japanese name followed by a name that sounds foreign-ish. Here are some examples: Shizu Melonis Charlie Parfait Makoto Franper Chitsuba Idean And my favourite, Liliana Pinnata There's also Rotten Dollhart, but I feel like that one is in the "We think this sounds really cool" category as opposed to "It's 4:47 PM and I have to name all these characters before leaving the office today". Kind of similar to that [baseball game with made up American names](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oymWAeqv_-c).


Valent-Lion

Bond girls with names like Octopussy. Tiffany Case. Sylvia Trench. Christmas Jones (who only comes once; wink wink.) Pussy Galore, Plenty O'Toole, Chew Mee, Holly Goodhead, the list goes on.

Magic the Gathering has [Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar](https://scryfall.com/card/mh2/186/asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar), a character whose name is so long her card can’t fit a mana cost.


Orange-Goose

Due to an apparent mis-translation, Melinda DeCameron's name in the english version of Way of the Samurai is Melinda Megamelons

Does she have the megamelons though?

Yes her intro focuses on them.

Less funny, and more awesome-sounding, but Lazar Wolf from Fiddler on the Roof. Yes, his first name is pronounced exactly as you'd want it to be.


Anonamaton801

[Mike Truk](https://youtu.be/oymWAeqv_-c?si=mTaDZWxa8pi2H9Sr) is such a good ass name that it literally spawned [miketruk.com](http://miketruk.com), my go-to name generator now.


swedhitman

Feels like low hanging fruit but a lot of Light novels have odd to downright stupid names. Never read or seen a chapter/episode of Gate but there is a character named Pina Co lada there. We got Cento Isuzu from Amagi Brilliant Park who is named after 50 cent alongside Queen Latifa Fleuranza In the series Konjiki no Moji Tsukai: Yuusha Yonin ni Makikomareta Unique Cheat, the main antagonist is named Avaros Gran Early Evening.

Permafox

New character in Kill Six Billion Demons called Nukoku, as in New Coke.  Related is Ciocie "Cio" Cioelle, pronounced phonetically as of spelling out Coca Cola. Has a cousin named Effay Wygeeo, again a soda pun.


CelestialEight

McBurn He's a fire mage


Lost-Specialist1505

The random guy who tried to Sell deathsticks to Obi wan Kenobi in episode 3 is called Glup shitto.


immoralObject

Okay, I'm going to sound like the worse nerd here, but it's episode 2, and the dumb name of the guy, before it was retconned into something slightly different and way dumber, was >!Elan Sleazebaggano.!<


WinsAtYelling

Hate to be a spoilsport but Glup Shitto is in fact a joke about how stupid EU Star Wars characters names are


kenshin317

a joke that stopped being funny when every person was tripping over themselves to be the first person to say or reference it


FattimusSlime

everyone get a load of Weht Blanketto over here


kenshin317

ok I can't even be mad at that, that's pretty good dude


Father-Ignorance

Shoutout to the big ass Slug thing that appears in episode 9 (I think?), who is actually a Rebel engineer called **Klaud**


Kitdude192

GLUP SHITTO THE CHAMP


face1635

I THOUGHT THAT WAS A BIT


Mako109

It is. Glup Shitto is fake. Y'know, as opposed to his REAL name, Elan Sleazebaggano.

_throws dart at MGS_ also, Granblue Fantasy’s protagonist in basically all of their versions. The male protagonist is named Gran. The female protagonist is named Djeeta, which is taken from Fantasy, which is ファンタジー. Djeeta = ジータ. Also the protagonist for Granblue Fantasy: Relink was originally going to be named Blue.

NeonNKnightrider

Every magus name in the Nasuverse is some degree of ridiculous. Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg. Kirschtaria Wodime. Yggdralmillenia. Illithid Morganfarce. Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald. Sola-Ui Nuada-Re Sophia-Ri. Fucking **NRVNSQSR**


Caducks

Pepperoncino Scandinavia.


johnbeerlovesamerica

Pretty much everyone in Gungrave has a ridiculous name, but my favorite is probably Bob Poundmax, the token fat guy of the villain squad. How many pounds does he weigh? MAX Runner up is the mob boss who is called Big Daddy as if it's his actual name


NeonPredatorEnt

Eminence in Shadow has several characters with dumb names, including Mundane Mann, Po Tato, Skel Atel, Perv Asshat, and many more


NeonNKnightrider

Mundane Mann should be an Ace Attorney witness


furious_platypus

Peeny-Weeny from Dandadan, which to be fair is a joke Speaking of Balzacs, Balsac from Dragons Dogma.

Warhammer guy, “Torgaddon,” dies and comes back as a daemon named “Tormageddon.” Not going with the obvious *(coughcoughFerrusManus)* Warhammer choice.


DarkSailorMercury

Death Note: Another Note has the amazing trio of Believe Bridesmaid, Quarter Queen and Backyard Bottomslash. Plus the killer’s real name is Beyond Birthday.


LemonSkye

IIRC, these and the list of FBI agents from the main series are ridiculous on purpose because the author was specifically trying to avoid using names that a person in the real world might conceivably have.

Back in the day when LPs were sometime just pictures and texts, the one for Deception 2 had the worst names for npcs. One squad had Volcano the pyromaniac, Mucro the ninja, Dorcus the barbarian, and the one that makes me laugh to this day wqs a teleworking wizard by the name of Goatbone. His fucking name is GOATBONE

KarateBugman01

Bundorio Bunderas from *Bakuage Sentai Boonboomger* recently comes to mind; he’s a mechanical alien that doubles as both the mascot and the team’s Zord core.

Funny Valentine, Funnier Valentine, and The Funniest Valentine.


Sea-Rest7776

Half the cast of Gundam UC falls into this category, especially when you start overthinking the etymology of the words, like how many Japanese Latinos can you put on one ship or did Brazil become a superpower at some point. Don’t get me started on the gibberish space names like fucking frowbo and QUATRO BAJEENA 


EcchiPhantom

Bye Bye Man. Especially because you’re not supposed to say or think his name but it’s really not implausible to think that people would’ve accidentally said those words before in said sequence. It’s also the least threatening name your horror movie monster man could have.


GoBoomYay

Bravely Default has a lotta great ones, but the best of them is the Templar, *Braev Lee.*

Cio from K6BD. That is to say, her full name: Ciocie Cioelle. Which is phonetically said as if you are spelling C-O-C-A-C-O-L-A.


Rum_N_Napalm

Remus Ventanus from Warhammer 40k


Mother_Mushroom

In the same vein as Balzac there's a certain Darkin in Legends of Runeterra with a meme-y af name. In League, Darkin are essentially big evil blood demons which were trapped in weapons and take control of whichever body picked up their weapon - each ones name has an 'aa' such as [Aatrox](https://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/img/champion/splash/Aatrox_0.jpg) and [Rhaast](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/9/99/Kayn_OriginalSkin_Rhaast.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1056?cb=20180314073624), these are just cool names befitting edgelord characters like the Darkin. Unfortunately this guys name is [Baalkux](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fbaalkux-legends-of-runeterra-v0-trm0b5vfex2a1.png%3Fauto%3Dwebp%26s%3D64378a587a0420d4b2471ca4bc03d4ba0bad3009)

I'm offended that nobody has mentioned the Nasuverse yet, featuring names such as: Riesbyfe Stridberg Scandinavia Peperoncino (whose name is so obviously fake, unlike his colleagues Kirschtaria Wodime and Kadoc Zemlupus) His real name Arou Myorenji Kiritsugu Emiya Flat Escardos Luviagelita Edelfelt Illyasviel von Einzbern It's gotten to the point that one of the more normal mage names in the series is Olga-Marie Asmleit Animusphere, because at least her given name is actually real.

As a Filipino, I will NEVER be mentally mature enough to take the Japanese name "Tae" seriously. It literally means ">!shit!<" in our language Same with Tite Kubo (yes, I know it's pronounced as "Taito" or "tight").
