Utterly ridiculous names DF has given you
« on: June 06, 2013, 01:33:10 pm »

I've been getting a flood of stupid names, and they're worth sharing, in my mind!
A recent map I generated had a volcano called "The Torch of Hugs" and a few squares down, there was a brook called "Beachconfederation the Cinnamon of Clumping."
Even better, a migrant I got had the last name "Poisonmurdered."  She was a small child.

I looked for another thread like this, but there doesn't seem to be an active one (tell me if I just missed it, please!), so I'm starting one.  Share the stupid, silly, or just weird names you've gotten.

here are couple of my artifacts and named weapons

Tuskskewered the Bride of Paddling, A Steel Shield
The Universes of Spreading, a pig tail fiber thong
This is a pig tail fiber thong.  All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality.  It is decorated with pig tail fiber and encircled with bands of rectangular diorite cabochons, donkey bone and cushion basalt cabochons.  It is made from pig tail fiber cloth.  This object menaces with spikes of cherry opal, diorite and red spinel.  On the item is an  image of table cut gems in olivine.

that one is rather kinky i think

The Universes of Spreading, a pig tail fiber thong
I see your expanding universe and raise you a Big Crunch! "The Merged Universe," a pig iron bed.

My fort was being overrun, so I drafted a few squads of civilians in a last ditch attempt to save it. One of the squads I got was "The Comedic Pillars." They lived up to the "comedic" part of their name. And they were pillars... or dwarven incompetence.

"Yawnveils the Mob of God," a tower-cap trumpet.
"The Incineration of Sizzling" would have been a cool name, except that it belonged to an elk bird leather hood.
"Gleefulglacier the Appearance of Meandering," a tunnel tube piccolo.

One of my personal favorites is "Spychuck," a nickel buckler.

Someone who has random urges to make mog juice isn't exactly going to care about the cost effectiveness of obtaining it.

I decided to look at a dead freak of evil's history and found this in his kills:



Maybe he wasn't that evil after all...

The town "Nutsdangled"

I'll see if I can find a screen shot, but I doubt it. Either way, it was ridiculous. At the time I was actually showing DF to my friends, so we had a good laugh at it.

Aha, I've gotten another one.  My world appears to have a historical figure named "Edem Thimbledwindle."
Not entirely unrelated, I learned of this by way of an artifact named "The Symmetric Ape," which is a shin guard.

I once fought with two brutal goblin gangs as an adventured, their names were Climatic Councils and Romantic Colors. I also had an island surrounded by Ocean of Lies.

The entire content consists of senseless murder, a pile of faceless naked women and zero regard for human life in general, all in the service of the protagonist's base impulses. It is clearly a cry for help from a neglected, self absorbed and disempowered juvenile badly in need of affectionate guidance. What a sad, sad display.
