Just curious, as this same subject came up on another board I frequent. I tend to name all my characters Bob, that being an honorific preceded by a title. Some characters may earn a "Bobname" if they do well. Some examples:
Sisko Bob
Three of Spades Bob
Astral Gimp Bob
Big Bad Bob
Chainsaw Bob Dylan
Flay-Your-Flesh Bob Newhart
Loses at Poker Bob
Given my earliest experiences with DW were not so favorable, only my Saurians ended up being named Bob. Everyone in my current party is named after a famous Nazi or world dictator.
How do you name your characters?

I have one test party that's all slang names for penis.
When I used to play Rogue (a predecessor of NetHack and various other games), I found that if I didn't invest a lot of effort in the character's name, I got a lot further into the dungeon. Best ever was "Spud". But trying to not care about the character's name after that was a sure ticket to a quick death.
Which brings up the "Sir" series: "Sir Tan Death", "Sir Loin of Beef", "Sir Cumference", "Sir Lee", etc.
