What is the worst name you've seen in City games?
I once saw a Fire/Kin called PL'er
I've seen my share of terrible names in the 3+ years I've been playing, but what always makes me grind my teeth is what I call the "obvious" names -- names that simply say what the character does. For example:
Fire Blast-man
Blazing Tank
Mind Prober
Two-Sword Slicer
or any variety of X Arrow, or X Scrapper, or X Tank names.
C'mon, folks, can it be that hard?
Gunderstank. Don't know why, just hit a sour note with me.
"im hidden ur not" the stalker, "me smash good" the brute... Mostly I see the worst names belonging to Stalkers, however.
Raven Ravenraven on Freedom, although maybe it was supposed to be ironic.
Hands down, the worst: "Runny Feces Pee"
Unfortunately, I ran into him on my first day playing the game and didn't know how to read bios yet. I'm sure there was a literary nugget in there, somewhere.
Craft your inventions in AE!!
Play "Crafter's Cafe" - Arc #487283. A 1 mission, NON-COMBAT AE arc with workable invention tables!
"I AM SATIN" was probably the worst of its ilk, along with the various "rouge angles" that worked with him. Apparently, the more Evil you become, the less you can properly spell.
"How do you know you are on the side of good?" a Paragon citizen asked him. "How can we even know what is 'good'?"
"The Most High has spoken, even with His own blood," Melancton replied. "Surely we know."

Hmmm... The one that really stands out over the last 3 years was one of my old VG mates female villain named "Hemorreggia Bloodbox"
Thus far, the thread has largely covered the illiterate, unimaginative, and intellectually challenged. But you still haven't covered redneck bigot. I've seen plenty of those characters...and I wouldn't dare post what they were saying or doing.
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
The worst name I've seen was also the best: Wite Ninga
His costume was all white... and he was an Empath.
Agua Man lvl 48 Water/Electric Blaster
"To die hating NCSoft for shutting down City of Heroes, that was Freedom."
Thank you - Shecky the Sailboat, ladies and gentlemen! He'll be here all week!

Gah, now I have to contribute to this thread, because I had to make known my appreciation of the two posts I quoted.
Hmmm...
"Claire.
That's a fat name."

Every name that basically just lists your powersets and/or your AT.
My favorite is still Firekintroller with honourable mention for CONTROLLLER. I actually think he also had a little brother called DOMMINATOR.
Edit: Actually, the sad part about those two names is that they suggest there are actually toons named Controller and Dominator.
For me it has to be a toon named Golden Showers, with a white and yellow costume design. I was kind of surprised the guy made it to the upper 30's without being generic'd.
A plant dominator who speaks only in caps named: Hammy Dom.

And to contribute my own I tend to despise the people that just toss their power choices together somehow to make a name. I once saw Kin of Fire running around in Atlas and, SURPRISE it was a fire/kin. -_-
Click on that character
Click the button that looks like it says "delete"...

i have a four year old, almost never logged in Earth/Rad Controller on some server i rarely play on named "Der Buck Futter". (His civilian name is Con Seannery.) Sometimes i consider deleting him as an unfunny joke, but he's not really doing any harm as the occasional name in the character select list and i still have unused slots on that server.

Seen more "Dark Energy Brute" types names than I'd like to admit.
My current favorite is DEATHS PRETOCESSOR. Who was also level 40 with Group Fly, no AE badges, and no idea what a Mayhem mission was.
Tales of Judgment. Also here, instead of that other place.
good luck D.B.B.
