So dill616 and I watched The Hunger Games tonight and while watching the credits when we saw the name of one of the cameramen. We both agreed that he had the best name ever.

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I introduce, Mr. Walrus "Waterslide" Howard

Great Find, must be a hilarious name for dates!

But away from real persons, my favorite will always be Ironballs McGinty.

Alotta Vagina? Dirk Diggler?

Nope, didn't all have the lasting effect of Ironballs McGinty.

Casanova Frankenstein!

The fake names in Boogie Nights are my favorite: Brock Landers and Chest Rockwell.

I like the greatest name in Auto Racing. Dick Trickle.

Bruce Campbell.

Huge Ackman.

err...

Hugh Jackman

My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal servant to the TRUE emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.

I am Spartacus.

Zap Rowsdower, Combo Breaker

Senior Designer for the movie Zombieland: Juicy Wang

(Linked to his IMDB so you don't have to Google "juicy wang".)

Dr. Naguid Mechawar.

I cited him in a grant I wrote (relevant research), but I've always thought how badass it would be to say your name is Dr. Mechawar.

Oh, on that note, I once worked with a scientist in the defense industry whose name was (no kidding) Dr. Power. I thought that was awesome.

There's a scientist we've collaborated with here named: So Young Bang

The best name I ever encountered while teaching was Phuc Dang. This kid was totally American, too. I was reading role the first day of class, and I got to the Ds and he shouts out "It's pronounced FOOK" before I even had a chance to say anything.

Dr. Totenkopf

Good enough to kinda revive Laurence Olivier for it...

Partially revived then.
Hm, would a head in a bowl have been more or less bizarre?

Totenkopf = "Dead Head" in German

I got the feeling it was practically a pun. Hence my comment.

--Patrick

Entschuldigung, I didn't get the pun

It's not like I don't know german, you know, practically been talking it all my life.
I just thought they chose Totenkopf for it's german/bizarre sounding and the sinister meaning.

It's no big deal. Nobody seems to have gotten my pizza reference in the invisible bike helmet thread, either.

Well shit, he just killed himself.

Can't think of anything that doesn't end with "Too Soon."
