I think a lot of people try to be clever coming up with names and lot of people just don't get it. If you haven't seen a certain movie or a certain TV show, or you have to really think about the name, then you're not going to recognize it as a joke. Also, if the name is funny, but only in a specific country, then people who are from other countries may not get the joke name. What may be a funny name in your country, may not mean a thing in another - especially if you're using slang. Slang is regional. Like the guy above who stated he had to explain to his two friends, I don't get that one either.

One name that I've used is .

^^ That reminds me of the one of my early ones, a good old Latin name, Flatus Maximus.

I'm an author. I write under pen names. Perhaps you've read some of my publications:

Yellow River, by I.P. Freely
Wildcat's Revenge, by Claude Balls
Tracks in The Sand, by Peter Dragon
Under The Bandstands, by Seymour Buttz

Those are all really old jokes from when I was a kid, BTW.

I used to bait as Lizzy Diddletwat. And I'm amazed to find that I've been baiting as Bruce Wayne for three years and still have takers...

I've used Dick Cox, Robin Banks, R. Soles, R. Slicker. In fact, my first ever real trophy was a lad with a large shot of himself holding a sign that read "R. Sole." I still use Mark Renton and Francis Begbie.

Ultra Magnus was probably my weirdest one. I told the lad I couldn't phone him because Autobots don't have ears and he replied to say he understood completely Very Happy

I used to use serial killer's names: Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, David Berkowitz, Andrei Romanovich Chikatilo... the last one led to using Russian names, mostly soviet high politicians, diplomats and Party leaders (some of the not that far away from serial killers):

Then I added few other just for the flavour Wink

A good way to come up with names is go to: http://wordsmith.org/anagram/ and enter any word or phrase you like. It will give you lots of ideas.
