Funny character names | EN World Tabletop RPG News & Reviews

There was this one campaign which had the stupidest names, with the dumbest reasons for having them:

Aragorn - Every time the DM asked what they were doing, the player said, "We are a gorn to Mordor!"

Legolas - For some reason the player used a female figure from a Lego set for his PC, who quickly became the "Lego-lass"

Gimli - Guy had a weird speech impediment. Kept wanting to say that he stared at the elf Lego-lass grimly, and ended up with "I look at him glimly." Ergo, Gimli.

Sam - Talk about no imagination. In a game world with names like the above, even if they were fairly dumb, in walks a Sam. Sheesh! Then again, the DM did keep telling us about a dragon in his earlier game called Smog. Gah!

Frodo - Yeah. Sam's buddy was called Frodo. Don't ask.

Man, I just hate players who can't be bothered to come up with an authentic-sounding fantasy name.
