Top 10 Most Ridiculous Character Names

10 Meliadoul Tingel (Final Fantasy Tactics)

This gal's sister is named Izlude, and her father is Vormav, proving (along with many of the other names in this game) that it is possible to advance too far with fantasy-ish names.













9 Hel Spites (Vandal Hearts)

Something like Sol Badguy on the contrary even more so. Did we flat need to be told in the opening of this game that Hel Spites was the villain? Hell! Spite! It's all right there!













8 Xelpherpolis (Ephemeral Phantasia)

The ineffable ridiculousness of this game is heightened by the agency of the fact that he's an evil emperor that you're meant to take really, really seriously. About the alone way he could have bungl more is to call himself Humperdinck.














7 Duff McWhalen (Mega Man X5)

The Mega Man X series is not without its share of awful names for bosse (We like Toxic Seahorse.) What's baffling is that when Capcom USA's offices finally decided to toss the originals for X5 their replacements managed to be flat worse. Inexplicably splicing fire-arms 'n' Roses band members into the mix, they came up with this howler of an aquatic bos to say nothing of Izzy be incandescent and Axl the Red.













6 Sol Badguy (Guilty Gear)

To be fair, the Guilty Gear series is not a fighting franchise that takes itself particularly seriously, in the way that this name is about par for the course. on the contrary geez, you'd think they could have a little craft when it came to naming virtuous Ky Kiske's rival.













5 Fr Askare & Paula Abghoul (Castlevania IV)

Presumably from the same translation department that gave us regard with affection Chaney, Jr. and Boris Karloffice, Fr & Paula are a pair of particularly deathly quibbles given to a waltzing duo of souls at the end of the Ballroom stage. If solitary their names were as classy as their sprites.













4 Sess'sth (Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance)

He'sss a lizardman, you sssee And be'cause it's a fant'asy world, his name has apos'trophes. Sss'o when you place the two together, you earn thi'sss ridicu'lousss name.













3 Rocket Billy Redcadillac (Gungrave OD)

Here's a name with equal reason gloriously stupid, the mind affirms at being asked to accept it. It's not a name. It's not! on the contrary in a game with the subtitle of OverDose, an over-the-top name like this still exquisitely sums up the aesthetic, if his double-necked guitar weapon hadn't clu you in notwithstanding













2 Higharolla Kockamamie (Snake's Revenge: Metal Gear II)

How many 8-year-olds of the time were awaited to get the Ayatollah Khomeini relation here is questionable, so the US team who cross-questioned out their own idea of a Metal Gear continuation were left with just a really stupid name.













1 Philbright Westriverside Warehouserock XXVI (Zone of the Enders: the Fist of Mars)

Zone of the Ender is a series with its fair share of stupid names (Dingo Egret? Mebius K Lylecraft!?), on the other hand this one takes the cake. Just when you think it can't secure any worse, the game hits you with the novels that this poor sap is the twenty-sixth individual to bear this awful title.















Double Dragon

It's a little-realized fact that virtually all of the names from this NE classic are either lifts or distortions of character and actor names from classic martial arts flick go into the Dragon. From Billy and Jimmy borrowing Lee's have surname to baddies like Lopar (Roper) Han, and Williams, plane Linda Cadwell Lee inadvertently lent her first name to the female thug you plow from one side
