Funny or Famous NPC Names

Makes a change from spitting in the soup, I guess!

I recently saw the Man from Uncle, Napoleon Solo! (hopefully I saved that video - must go check! 😀) and not too long ago Lister from Red Dwarf! 😯😀🤘 .

However only yesterday, I sensed a disturbance in the force!...

I posted about it in the following thread, but the Sith are powerful and it's so far shrouded in darkness!


"Help me, Obi Wan Ken-forumi, you are my only hope!"

😯😂😀🤘
 
As a Finn, seeing any Finnish name makes me laugh as I fall straight into the uncanny valley. Mika Peltola attacking me in the asteroid field almost cost me my keyboard.

I'll get you yet, Mika Peltola!

(I sometimes wonder if this effect is recognized by natives of other languages as well, in their language.)

There was something similar when the science fiction television series "Space 1999" had an episode entitled "The Rules of Luton" - hilarious to pretty much any Englishman at the time (1970s). Apparently the writer (Fred Freiberger) was not familiar with English place names, saw it on a road sign and thought it sounded suitably exotic and obscure.
 
My few names...
