Obligatory 'best name I've seen' thread...
I’ve got a charr engi called Bonfuse Burnpurr and a blue Sylvari with the charred hair thing called Sappyre
I couldn’t stop laughing of a human called Paranormal Potato xD. I can’t recall their profession though.
I know plenty, but posting them here would just get me an infraction.

The BEST literary name in MMO naming history: Female sylvari necromancer- Salvia Plath.
I’ve actually seen a few versions of this. My friend included. (Also a sylvari necro)
Though my favorite literary reference was a character I saw named Rex the Stout, to whom I professed my deep love. (A love I extend to anyone who gets it.)
I prefer names that fit the lore and game, since I like to feel immersed. It’s impossible these days, of course, since the maturity level of players couldn’t get any lower.
So, sorry, I don’t find many of these to be “best” by a long shot.
Some are marginally amusing but the thing is, they reflect the fact that the people that the people who create them don’t care about the game, or the genre, or the effect they have on other players.
Oh please, get over yourself.
Just because we have a sense of humor and/or aren’t super serious RPers doesn’t mean we don’t care about the game or the genre.
You’re right on the last part though, I don’t care what kind of effect my characters’ names might have on you. Why should I? Seriously, find something else to get offended over… Geez.
On-topic:
One name that made me laugh hard was a sylvari named Super Saiyan Tree.
To be honest, I haven’t actually seen this player, but I know he/she exists because I came up with the idea and wanted to make a yellow/golden sylvari warrior with the long hairstyle, named Super Saiyan Tree, only to find out the name was already taken.

You do realize that comment was 2 years old right?

Oops. Didn’t realize this was a necro-ed thread as it was on the front page when I clicked on it.
/shrug
I name all my pets: “Squirrel Undercover”
Makes 1v1 so much better GO SQUIRREL!:D
I always wanted to make an all Sylvari guild called “Destiny’s Hedge”
I had a ranger pet called Boaromir.
My Asuran warrior is called Empirical Data.
‘Anorexia Bulimia’
I have a thing for making (when not already taken)—characters with disease names with an oxymoron undertone.
I have a ranger, and was after a few "Slayer" APs a little while ago. It occurred to me, as I was on my fifth or sixth lap of beasties in a smallish area, I could come across as rather suspicious. So I renamed my jaguar, "I Am Not A Bot."
Saw a thief in sPvP a little while back called Mr Steal Yo Life.
One of my guildies has an alt called Wtb Abby Whip.
My GL’s often told to put down wells by his wvw commander, so he’s named a necro Wells Go, which is what the commander calls out.
My favourite to date was a norn guardian called Savage Guardian. Made me want to listen to all the stuff I grew up with again.
So long Treeface.

You are the useless log of flesh we have to drag behind us as we move forward.

“I Tend To Die A Lot”
Not sure if this is considered naming and shaming (this thread), but I really hope not. I saw one of the best names I’ve come across in the game last night, and this got me to remembering some other names I saw way back when I made my first toon. Pics below, and kudos to these guys/gals for picking some awesome names
