Not so much a name, but I once had a migrant show up boasting 2 skills.

The first was proficient military Tactics.  The other was High Master liar.

"The Squashed Trades" Comical name for an economical society of dwarfs, or a grim forewarning?

This is a river valley I genned with PWDF. The main river is called 'Hungertribes the Cakes of Time'. DF names always make me laugh.

I just had the world generated with a small, grassy landmass called "The Decent Island." I suppose it would have made an adequate embark site. :3

Edit: Just got a fortress named "Problemorb"

A dwarven civilization in my newest world is named "The Coal Of Prophecy" I really want to embark with them an make some sort of ultimate coal artifact.

Oh and a human civ with 11562 Humans and 13029 Cats is simply called "The North Empires"(though its at the center of the region.)

This is an engraving that one of the dwarves made in my current community fortress that I'm doing on another website. The name itself would be worth mentioning here, but when you look at the actual engraving too...

Needless to say, that dwarf was reprimanded.  :P
