I've seen some pretty clever and funny ones, such as:

Slippery When Wet
Raisins Of Bran
Server Police

What about your name or which ones have you seen?

What about bad names?
If I am going to quote someone, it's going to be me.

    I went with Methios. Was wanting Methos, which is the legendary oldest immortal from Highlander (also know as "Death of the Four Horsemen") but someone had already got it. But the best one ive seen so far is "Bloodguard Tampax" & "Ionlyplayfreeweek"

    I can't stand it when people name themselves after food or give their character a gamertag/screen name for a name like "xXnoscope420swagXx". That's not clever. It's plebeian. I'm not an RP'er by any stretch, but unoriginal names, gamertag names, sexual names, internet-trend names, and other forms of "joke" names, to me, are stupid. Just my opinion. But if you think that's "clever", I have to question just how low-brow you really are. It's, by definition, the opposite of clever. It's not witty or creative. LOL! Im such a sour-puss.

    Play off the word Novocain… why? Because back in my AOC days I Had dentistry work done (wisdom tooth out) and I was a bit slurred on Vent…my friends were teasing me because I have an accent anyway and this made it worse. I was thinking up a name when one of them said Novocain ,of course they use lidocaine not Novocain in dentistry for the past 30 odd years , but was not going to point out that little bit of knowledge to them .

    Anyway I liked the name (even on painkillers at the time it seemed a fun play on words) So Knovah became my fav name. (Did not like Novo so I switched it out a little but when said first and last name you get the idea) So Knovah on single name games and Knovah Khane on games I can add a surname to.
