Ridiculous Game Character Names Exposed

Thanks to 1UP for their chart of the most ridiculous videogame character names ever. Among the crazed picks are Higharolla Kockamamie from Snake's Revenge ("How many 8-year-olds of the time were expected to get the Ayatollah Khomeini reference here is questionable"), Rocket Billy Redcadillac from Gungrave O.D. ("Here's a name so gloriously stupid, the mind protests at being asked to accept it"), and Fred Askare & Paula Abghoul from Castlevania IV ("Presumably from the same translation department that gave us Love Chaney, Jr. and Boris Karloffice.") Any other nominations?

    From The Secret of Monkey Island:
    Pirate: Ahoy there, stranger.
    Guybrush: My name's Guybrush Threepwood. I'm new in town.
    Pirate: Guybrush Threepwood? Ha ha ha!!! That's the stupidest name I've ever heard!
    Guybrush: I don't know... I kind of like 'Guybrush.'
    Pirate: But it's not even a name!
    Guybrush: Well, what's YOUR name?
    Pirate: My name is Mancomb Seepgood.
    Heh.
