Discuss Fantasy football-style board games - GW's Blood Bowl, Impact!'s Elfball, Privateer Press' Grind, Heresy's Deathball, etc. THIS IS NOT AN NFL FANTASY FOOTBALL SITE!
Probably some of the funnuiest names in our league are of my bro's norse team, the Erengrad Muscle. Basically he just used 'action hero' alter egos from the likes of arnie, seagal and even kurt russell! Names like Mr Kimble, Doug Qaid etc. Very funny.
All the coaches in our league try to make funny names because it brings a really funny side to the game. When you ask ' Who was the lineman who just put my star catcher in the dug out with an awesome blitz bro? Oh that was Earl Bassett' You really do have to laugh. What was his parents thinking calling him that when he was born. He couldnt of been the most popular boy at school!
Reason:''
Larry says 'The best way to stop those pansy elves is to kick 'em in the knackers.' :)
Well, my 'Half-Pint Hellions' Halfling team had players like Hammy Sandwich, Dondon Marrowmuncher, Flabby Grasshugger, Panzi Gristleguts, etc... (I've got tons more with food or turf-eating references!)
I've currently got a Skaven team called the 'Foul Peak Cripplers' with a thrower named Squit Phlegm-Throw, Nartik Spasmclaw, Vask Plaguebringer, Squeek Scablick, Chitter Sewerstench, etc...
Its a shame I don't play Orcs or Goblins. I've been saving the name Rectus Chocolate-Eater forever!
We usually have alcohol involved in the naming process so we end up with guys like...
Turd Meathead
Frank Assholebored
Count Smaktorfuktor Lictorsnatch
Jack Rimshot
Steve (must be said in the voice of the clone from Multiplicity)
Herr Peez
Stupid Ugly Knobby Skaven (S.U.K.S.)
Joe Wunnut
Shoeless Joe Six Toes
and then the usual assortment of players named for what we are drinking at the time...
Guinness
Bud (None of my players are named this!)
Murphy's
Jack Daniels (named after 1 drink)
Jan Danyell (named after several drinks)
Dan Yell etc etc.
Orcs are of course the best for silly names (barring, possibly, Skaven).
I just started an Orc team in our summer league.
The Black Orcs have "Western" type names. The one with the Long Horns is Texas Jake (I assume a few college football fans will understand that one), then there's Pilgrim and, as of last night, Ringo (an old John Wayne Character). The group is rounded out by the Sundance Orc.
Its just a shame that Butch Casualty lasted all of one half before getting his very own pine box.

I know a bear that you don't know. * ICEPELT IS MY HERO. Master bleater. * Not in the clique.
Member of the "3 digit" club.
I have to admit I cheat somewhat when I'm stumped on names. I pull out my two old HB Chaos handbooks (yep, I'm an old-timer) and use the tables in there for the creation of chaos demon names.
Reason:''
"Never, NEVER, disturb a Minotaur while he's eating!"
Coach Tad Bloodthrasher after he tried to get his Starplayer to get his mind back on the game. (He was lucky. He only lost an arm).
I used to own those two realm of chaos books.
Then on a convention some *BIIIIP BIP BIIIIP BBIp of a BIP BIIIIIIP son*
Stole them.
Fortunately for him we never found him
So by a freaky chance if anybody ever seen a realm of chaos book with the name Poul Piepgrass on the inside cover please let me now (the ods on that is probely 1-1000000)
Poul
