Was extremely shocked that I got Disapear for my Ill/ kin troller;Hellchaser for my stone/rad troller (I love his concept. He's a daredevil, hence the name hell chaser 
); and Caged for my KM/SR scrapper. I'm sure there are more names I have that was astounded to get, like lightshade for my PB. But that's it off the topmof my head. 
- Im Not Talking Fast, You're Just Listening Slow.
- To Each His Own

I was surprised that I got Bread at first, but then I realized "who the heck names their character Bread?"

I forgot one...

I am a bad speeler, use poorer grammar, and am a frequent typoist.

I always love it when I can get one of those "obvious" or "cool" names that you would think were already taken.
Some cool names I've managed to snatch:
Andronic
Lethal Trauma
Solemn Shadow
Deadly Dispatch
Terror Strike
Amplified Assassin
There are more, but I can't access my characters at this time and I honestly have so many I forgot a lot of names. xD
Arc ID: 348998 - Becoming a villain
Arc ID: 373341 - To Save a Hero
Got Inf?
Went to remake my old mind/fire dom on Virtue and found that her old name was taken. Kudos to whoever now has Mother's Wrath, but I now have Maternal Instinct.

I also own on UNION...
* Tom Orrow
My time-travelling Grav/Kin Troller (I wanted Justin Time but someone beat me to that one)
- The Italian Job: The Godfather Returns #1151
Beginner - Encounter a renewed age for the Mook and the Family when Emile Marcone escapes from the Zig!
- Along Came a... Bug!? #528482
Average - A new race of aliens arrives on Earth. And Vanguard has you investigate them!
- The Court of the Blood Countess: The Rise of the Blood Countess #3805
Advanced - Go back in time and witness the birth of a vampire. Follow her to key moments in her life in order to stop her! A story of intrigue, drama and horror! Blood & Violence... not recommend to solo!
I suppose I was a little surprised to get Gunwitch (on Union).
The one that always gets people is my level 14 (I think, maybe 12) Emp/Dark Defender, Glory. Every time I take her out someone will ask how I managed to get that name, assuming since she's level 14 that she must be new. No, she was created on day 3 of the EU servers, that's how I managed to get the name!

I saw Ella Gance on Guardian, not my toon, but clever name.

I was pretty pleased when I got Overthrow on Union.
(PS: I think some people are missing the point of this thread entirely... )

Lessee... very suprised to get John Henry (a Warmace Tanker with Sledgehammer) on one of the lower pop servers.
Blaize of Glory (DP/Fire corruptor) was a bit of a suprise.
Karen Kosmic (energy blaster)
Stone Buttress (stone tanker)
"Taxpayer" on Virtue.
On Virtue:
Belmades
Feathervane
Cupcake Throwdown (ok, I'm not surprised about this one I just wanted to type it)
Popinjaye
Siege Sonata

On Liberty I got "Pistol Witch"
Which I thought was very surprising.
Is there a way to search up and contact those who have the game already?
Dark Astoria - zombie/dark MM
Dr. DeMentos - ice/ice Corr.
I've managed to get a few nice ones.
BattleSpark
The Cabal Guardian
Lovely Dead
Cinnibyte
Silver Spark
Silver Psychic
WarRatchet
Colonel Clank

Chained Glory
HotFuse
Lots of fun ones.
Amerikat
Megacapacitor
Solar Scout
The names I got that seemed obvious are: Final Option, Charcoal, Hero Mode, Deviltry and Opportunity.
All on Defiant
I do not suffer from altitis, I enjoy every character of it.
I did get two both less then a year ago, which shocked me. Both on Virtue.
Killer Tech Robots MM.
Mighty Maiden elec/invul scrapper.
Butterfly Effect (since deleted and I believe claimed by another)
A. Paladin
Russian Fury
Patriot Fury
and, apparently, I should have been surprised to get Wila, because all of the other variations are taken.
All on Virtue
Siberian Spring-50 (Cold/Rad, Rad/Ice, Ice/Rad, Sh/Ice) - KGB SS8
Chernozem-50 (Ice/MM, Emp/Ice, MA/Regen) - KGB SS8

Also: Krassivy Mechtayu-50 (Ill/Rad) - KGB SS8; Ms. Hypatia-50 (Dark/Regen)
If we're talking recent (as in within the last few months, up to and including today), I was surprised that I managed to snag...
Rhyme
Hunted
Underdog
Streakbreaker
Other names I've claimed at one point or another that I was surprised to get (dating back up to a few years, but well after launch):
Shift
Wildcard
Iconoclast
Boundary
Feverpitch
Most of those have been on Virtue or Infinity.
Since somebody mentioned Bodhisattva, I was slightly pleasantly surprised when I got Kid Charlemagne. Since deleted. I tried Deacon Blue, but that was taken.
I think the one that really surprised me was Brigantine (Infinity) Thug/Dev MM
Le Blanc 50 Dark/Dark Scrap
High Huntress 50 Archery/NRG Blast
And a goatload of others. On a goatload of servers.
Official Rickroller of Hero Con 1
With the new animal pack, I'm surprised I was able to get (The) Culture Vulture, now bringing fiery death and witty banter to Victory.
Yeah, I know, Victory. But I was still surprised.
