We've all seen some Alliance kiddie named "ikillhoarde" or a Warlock named "ifearyoudie." After all, what Horde wouldn't run for cover from a Hunter who's named after his very death? And woe is the person who actually thinks he can get away from a Warlock's fear. Phear the lock, baby.Add titles into the mix. "Doora the Explorer" is probably my favorite of all time. Every time I see someone named that I yell out "Swiper, No Swiping!" Of course insert the obligatory NSFW Kevin Smith reference here.
Another favorite of mine that I've seen is "Highlander the Immortal."
What's the best pun name that you've encountered in the game? Ever thought about renaming your character to make yourself pun-famous?

This is a pun how? Marginally less amusing than "Exalted with Your Mom", which isn't exactly Monty Python either.
Dominika Apr 19th 2009 8:22AM
It's a play on words between Horde and whore.
That's a pun, whether you think it's a funny one or not.

Yeah i'm afraid Azizrael that this is more of a pun than "Doora the Explorer" or similar is which is more a reference than anything else...

Used to be a guild on Nordrassil called Haru Garden Sushi Bar with members named things like Wasabi, Teriyaki, etc. There are still some players around named Maidenchina, Maidenjapan, and so on.

There was a guy on my server named Nagaplease and blizz made him change his name cause it apparently was offending players since it sounded like a racist thing.
Wyred Apr 20th 2009 4:42AM
It is a racist thing, that's the entire point of the name
Joan Apr 21st 2009 4:56PM
Racist? I thought it was equating naga with bitch, which could be construed as degrading to women, but I don't know how the word "bitch" is racist.

While his name isn't a pun, the name+title combo is funny IMO.
