EDIT: posted to the wrong thread.

I saw reference to a "Giant of Mint Directions" though.

You should post that in the "What's happening in your adventure?" thread.

The gnolls in my world have either really strange or cool names even if they rarely correlate with their actual professions.

Aggold Groundlord - only a bookbinder - he should look up a carreer in geomancy with that name
Anone Gorecyst - a sorcerer - hasn't done much besides writing a few books about the tower he lives in.
Fonild Killcats - a regular carpenter with the dream of being a legendary warrior - going by his name he has a strange idea of what being a "legendary warrior" means.
Wobe Violentkilled - despite his name, still alive and well - hasn't fought in any wars at all. He does still work as a mercenary axeman in the forest retreat of Slaughterallies - pleasant name.

New felid adventurer's last name is "Facedeaths". Kind of accurate, considering just how flimsy they are.

I had a golbin civ named "The Curse of Assemblies". I wondered why until I saw their leader.

I assume that was "Stag+hit". Heh.

Got this crafted in Fortress mode.

Not much funny, but a marble figurine of a human named Bortu Boredbalanced struck down by a goblin Kutsmob Cruelflank sounds an awful lot like a well-balanced "boring-but-practical" RPG character got out of luck being cruelly flanked by a goblin mob and cut down.

And apparently, it happened during a conflict called "The Disembowelled Assault".

Just found a screenshot on my computer taken from an old version 5 years ago. It reads:

"You will remember the Honeys of Tempting when we're finished with you!"
Enthep Rusnagostrim, Axeman has died of old age.

Back then, I was mostly amused that he died of old age immediately after announcing this.
It is just now that I've noticed that his gang was called the Honeys of Tempting.

I appreciate "The Joyous Mops and Dankness". You can sing it while cleaning.

Just found a temple named "The Sanctuary of Cats".
I Went inside, and it was (sure enough) full of cats.

(I then toppled statues and killed all the cats I could see, because DF :D )

Happens in my worlds with felids. I think they still breed too slowly to make up for their flimsiness.

"Can The Diseases of Animals Save the World?" One of the few book titles thus far to get a genuine chuckle out of me.

It's actually pretty terrifying to think about having all of your fat melt off into grease because you started sweating too much.
