Vote For Your Favourite Made-Up Funny Name (FINAL ROUND)

Ron Toronto, but Northpark Babbages just led me down an interesting Wikipedia rabbit hole.

Also, how the hell did I miss the first 4 threads? I'm all about weird fake names.

Most of them are just garbles that are fun to say, like Slartibartfast in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but only a handful feel like there could conceivably be someone by that name out in the world somewhere. Of those, Lachlan Brownwind hits right for me.

My preference is just for effective combinations of phonemes and meanings-- especially malapropisms of Greek, Romantic and Germanic pronunciations of spelling. I'd love to name an imaginary child Peneloupe Cantalope (pronounced PEN-eh-lohp can-TA-loh-pee), for example; I'm a Tom Robbins lover, at heart. (My favourite of my own submissions in this regard was Purity Bjoris, idk why but I love that name). A lot of submissions followed the "Moe's Tavern" format (Ben Dover) and those don't make me laugh. Manglings of real names-- Doily Partner, Burton Cum (feat. Randy Man)-- they make me laugh when done well.

I think my favourite bit was the Freddie Mercury digression where a working-class given name was pared with the name of an element. Julio Uranium. Dick Nickel. Unfortunately they didn't get voted for.

Doug Lead was another in that thread. Lol

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Can't believe I burned those names for an ILE thread. I knew they wouldn't be appreciated here. Nonetheless, I offer another favorite, although in a slightly different formulation:

Lew Miserables

Carl Oof is brilliant

Man, I find Larry Gaga so stupidly funny.

Carl Oof and Larry Gaga are two that I'm pretty sure I voted for in previous rounds, so I'm glad to see they made it to the finals

Yeah Larry Gaga my choice here.

A very Tonetta coded name

Idk if I voted yet! I’ve kept track of who came up with what and I won’t vote for my own submissions. These names always make me laugh

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Esteemed drummer Nick Fraser is responsible for the winning entry Ron Toronto, congratulations Nick

Tim Tin

Donald Pentium

Don’t Blame Me, I Voted for Veginald

Ron Toronto's OK, but he's no Jackie Daytona

Truly the best man* won

*don’t know Ron Toronto’s gender, but in my head it’s a guy w a push-broom moustache

I just watched a documentary about John Candy and he dubbed himself “Johnny Toronto” early in his Second City career.

It looks like Timothy Tiffany’s slightly outnumber Tiffany Timothy’s on LinkedIn.

Ron Toronto definitely sounds like a Nick Offerman character

Larry Gaga just reminds me of Tonetta's immortal track, "Lady Gaga"

Murph Molybdenum

The Boron brothers. Paul Boron and Donny Boron.

I love Wynona Anyone so much because it looks and sounds like an anagram and it hurts to know it isn’t at all

David McCallum is...
