Well, Arctic Man is a bit cool. 
Bad puns aside, not sure really. Got too many characters to really decide.
Oubliette, Rumour, Dishonesty and Fervence. I've had people remark on them all, and am fond of them myself.
I often get compliments for bios and costumes, but hardly ever for names - iirc the only one of my character names I've ever been complimented for was my widow: Mistress Distress.
I do spend ages picking names for my characters and I try to make them sound right for the genre and the character/bio, rather than doing joke/pun/phrase names, but I do have one character whose name works both in-canon and as a play on words: Marshall Saint, my Bane/Crab, whose name sounds like the reverse of the redside zone St Martial, but he is also an Arachnos official of the same rank as the NPC Marshall Brass.
Personally though my favourite character names are my Archery/En blaster Nightbow and my En/Elec brute Powerbreaker - those are the only ones I'd likely carry forward into a different superhero MMO.
Well other than Fanservice Girl which is just so bad it's great, I quite like Toxic Weaver and Lab Bunny.
My ultimate favourite though and the one that gets the most comments? The aquatic telekinetic hero Claire Buoyant.
All my names are cool... 
But have recieved comments on:
Polyphemus, Lost Ninja, Heavy Ill/IIl/llIumination (Illumination), Pyroclastic Sarge/Flower.
Blooper, Timewarp, Captain Epic and Eclipses are probably my favourites. And Millie Malachite, as it rolls of the tongue. :]

I like all my character's names, it's something I have to have just right before I start my career on any character. Personally I love Soul Storm. (had it I4/5 and it's since been copied to take the name of GW's signature attack )
OH almost forgot Giga and Virtual Insanity, my Blasters. 
@Lukas
Probably Johnny Moronic, my Thugs/Traps Keanu tribute toon. His minions are all leet-tastic versions of people from Keanu films as well.
I quite like Quantum Arrow for my Grav/TA as well though.
Grav/TA buddy!

@Lukas
Quite like pendulum(time related background) but the one i get asked about quite a bit is Litmus Test(fire/rad scientist type)

I like Wasisname it's makes me smile everytime a NPC says something like " I hear Wasisname has the Council on the run". Childish I know
I also have Blown Fuse a Elec/Elec Blaster.
Tanks for the memory a would you believe tank

Had comments on a few of mine. I do tend to deliberate a little too much on names but i'd rather have one ill be satisfied with in the long run.

Ubermensch Kahn - Wp brute (Used to get the KAAAAAHN greeting everytime I logged on corp chat, thankfully the novelty has worn off )
Rockcrete my granite tank
Starscape warshade
Lithium My rad/cold corr, im completely surprised this wasnt taken
Neurowave Sonic/mm blaster, again took ages deliberating the name but it seems to fit
Art of War Co-Leader - Union *Global@Warscythe*
"The box said Windows Vista or better - so I installed Linux"
mmm what some may find cool others may not. Any how Snow is quite a cool name imo, so is Vedova my widow. I also have Vapur which to me is cool
@Snow.
Defiant: Snow + many other alts
Arc ID 61069
Obsidian Operative... my cross between Garek and The GL corp.
"Idealism is such a wonderful thing. All you really need is someone rational to put it to proper use." - Kerr Avon
Myopic Aardvark on Twitter
Watts Up (Elec/Elec Blaster)
Professor AWTH (aka Accident Waiting To Happen) (Rad/Rad Def)

I've given it the Khan shout to someone messing things up in team but at least they could spell.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

Well considering I took it from the german/hebrew surname relating to the origin *priest* and not from Ricardo Montelban's epic role, i'm not sure how that constitutes as bad spelling. The callout is just a reference the lads on corp chat decided to throw out there.

;evillaugh$$l Muhhuhahahahaha!
I have two other charnames I'm proud of. Song: Peacebringer. Orrery: Warshade. Both not played at all due them being bluesiders, which I've grown tired of these days. There are yet others, but not used enough or interesting enough.

They were appropriately appalled
at the discovery of the eight victims
They're now putting it all together.
Women wrapped in silk
with one leg missing
Eight legs, one body, silk,
spider, brilliant!"
Going on the same topic of this thread. What's the coolest character names you have?
I'd probably say 'Epimetheus' or 'Slash and Carry'. I've had a some compliments on both.
