What was the most ridiculous name you’ve ever heard in anime and why?

I fucking lost it when I found out the char clone of Gundam Unicorn was named Full Frontal.

Other examples include Ribbons Almark, Bring Stabity/Stability, Revive Revival, Regene Regetta, Devine Nova, and Hiling Care (Gundam 00).

It's not that names themselves are stupid, but when Japanese use foreign names without checking properly and end up giving male characters female names (or vice versa I guess, but that's rarer) I always find it ridiculous. Like in case of God Eater where (male) MC is called Lenka which is a female name in my language. I couldn't watch that show past first episode because it was too funny for me.

Some fantasy anime with the over-the-top "European" names (after a certain point I'm not even sure what the names are) make me laugh lol

Makes me feel bad for the VA's though.

Bluesy Fluesy from Taboo Tattoo. The best part is that at first, she uses a completely normal sounding Japanese name as cover for her real name.

Fantasy authors be like... I'll smash my head on the keyboard and get a name and make a new language.
Also, throwing random y or z into it, it will look more foreign and exotic. Because THAT is how real languages actually work, I'm sure languages are developing like this.
I'm actually more surprised that there aren't any hyphen, accent graves or accents aigus, tildes to look more exotic lol

I have a hunch that referring to oneself in third person is actually more common in everyday Japanese than in English (where it's quite rare).

I know for a fact it's more common in Chinese than in English, so my guess is based on this and on seeing it happen in anime.

Subtitles seem split on whether to translate that as "I" or just to use the third person.

I'm not familiar with Japanese verb conjugation, but Wikipedia says that they don't conjugate based on subject person (i.e. how we have "I am"/"you are"/"he is"), so that might mean it's less awkward in Japanese since the verb form doesn't change.

Well I guess anyone trying to guess it would have a strong chance of an accurate forecast.

I dunno much about Seawax (it'd be more plausible as a surname), but Ohoho is actually a nickname. She is named after her habit of doing that "hime laugh", and everyone who's appeared so far has just called her that, because no one knows her real name.
Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut.

Some names in Re:Zero feel like the author just picks a random English word that sounds cool to him. As a result we have characters such as Echidna and Juice. Juice.

Guru Paptimus !! I mean: Paptimus Scirocco from Kidô Senshi Zeta Gundam.
But you'll find probably ôre stupid for you among all the great names Tomino came up with during all his Gundam years (including non-Gundam series he helmed).

Bonus: it became so emblematic of Gundam that later directors/writers created brand new ridiculous names in their own Gundam.


Any suggestion, @CodeBlazeFate ?

Every anime that tries to use a German name and makes it sound horrible.

Good example is Meine Liebe and almost every character in it. Probably doesn't sound weird when you can't speak German, but since it's my native language, it just sounds awkward.

I don't mind unique names like Dororo. It doesn't sound stupid; its just unusual. On the other hand, Dragon Ball has some really silly names. In one movie, the villain's henchmen had names like Salt and Vinegar. They're stupid but it's a silly and laughable kind of stupid. I wasn't all that surprised though considering that Dragon Ball is a series whose main character is named after a vegetable. (You know, Kakarot and carrot...)
