Ok so I’m not the only one who gives my characters dumb names, am I?

What often happens is that I’ll make a character, but then I don’t know what to name them, so I say “you know what? Lemme just call them something stupid for now and then I’ll think of a name later.” But every single time I end up getting attached to the stupid name.
So tell me, YWSers, have you ever named a character something very absurd (maybe in the past or in a current project)? I’ll go first. I’m not gonna give any context for the names but you can if you want:

—Asthma Man
—Angel + Devil
—Fizzie
—Muffin
—Jello (I changed his name to Gene though)


Side note: with the exception of Asthma Man and Muffin, I have this little hidden in-universe rule for my characters. I realized that literally nobody would give their child these stupid names, so the rule is that a lot of people have nicknames that somehow everyone knows and everyone always uses, all the time.

I believe the most absurd name I've ever given is:

King Ping Pong

There was also:

Lard Duck
Karnage Destro
Emperor Neferu the Nefarious

Purple tea... one kid in my class called his character fart.
