Real person, fictional character, or even just hypothetical: I wanna hear it!
It was actually a GURPS character I made for a homebrew setting. It was a male techpriest named Silas Berg who fell out of the imperium and was working to get back to his home. It took something like 6-8 months before my GM noticed, because I only ever used the full name once (initial introduction), then only ever called myself Sy in all interactions after that.
The day that he finally noticed glorious. He had captured our party and was going through the prisoner list. He got to me, read out 'Sy Berg’s, and I swear you could see him bluescreen for a second when he realized that he’d been running a game with a cyborg named cyborg for months without noticing.
Easily one of my favorite experiences in a TTRPG. I’m hopeful that when I get around to running my own game, I’m able to work in the story I’ve got in my head about the library dungeon that culminates in a fight with a wyrm. I really hope I get a similar reaction when I reveal that it’s actually a bookwyrm.

Playing D&D, we inherited a haunted tavern that was home to a ghost named Lift (tbf, that’s the name we gave it since it could only communicate by lifting things). After we solved the mystery of Lift and allowed the spirit to pass on to the afterlife, we renamed the tavern The Lifted Spirits.
My friend lived in a house with 4 other guys and all but one was athletic and outdoorsy. The other guy was a WOW addicted Mexican who never left his room except to get food deliveries or cigarettes. The others called him The Brown Recluse.

Here in dutchland this family by the name of ‘Modder’ (meaning mud) gave their baby girl the traditional Frisian name ‘Fokje’, which is female of ‘Fokke’ which is Frisian for Alphonse.
They obviously didn’t speak English as ‘Fokje Modder’ pronounces as ‘Fuck yer mother’.
Drag queens have the best names. My favorite from this season of RuPaul’s Drag Race is Amanda Tori Meating.
She should have been an email.
Don’t you mean Annie Mail?
Well played. 👏

Donald Glover goes over his own name in one of his stand up specials. His parents named him “Don Glover”. I guess it’s better than Tess Tickles.
Do library cats’ names count? Like Catticus Finch and the Great Catsby?

I’m currently playing in two D&D 5e campaigns.
Silver-Dragonborn Cleric, Twilight Domain named:
Argentus
The other is a Shadar-kai Circle of Moon Druid. His name is:
Hrast Quercus
I don’t get the second one
Hrast is Croation for Oak.
Quercus is the genus of the oak tree
So his name is Oak Oak.
