hmm, for me it depends on the name - and most of mine aren't original - matter of fact, other than my goofy ones, none of them are original, they're nods to my favorite fantasy.
Stale Bongwater (my primary) ranger, with a goofy name
Ctuchik Rak Cthol necro, nod to Eddings
Relg The Ulgo monk, again, nod to Eddings
Riva Iron Grip warrior, yet another nod to Eddings
Mandor Serpentson ele, and a nod to Zelazny
Nutus Animus rit, latin for spirit caller (or something to that effect - highschool latin was a long time ago)
Harsh Bongsmoke mesmer, again a goofy name
Set The Destroyer paragon - nod to egyptian myth
Voice Of Anubis derv, and yet another nod to egyptian myth
not sure if you'd view them as novelty names, since they're all either proper names or titles (the Ulgo, the Destroyer, Voice of).
i do die a bit inside whenever someone tries to use a word for a name and it's misspelt, but that's just me. and anyone named XX _______ XX is just a tool in my book.

i find that people think the name they have made up are funny, when no1 else thinks its funny.
and then they procede to post it here, thinking that people will find it funny and get some cheap laughs.
But no, most of your names are crap, maby 1/100 are good.

Bergil
I approve wholeheartedly of reference names. Most of my names are references, but either obscure ore esoteric ones. Bergil was a VERY minor character in Lord of the Rings (did not make the film), Emmet is Doc from Back to The Future's real name, and Gnaisf Emmetson is one of the main characters in a book I'm planing to write, and the last names are mine.
I have no regrets, and plan to continue this into Guild Wars 2 if I buy it (still haven't decided). I already have all 5 names picked out. Feanor Sunfyre (Charr, successor to Bergil Sunfyre. Feanor was a character in "the Silmarillion", and it means "spirit of fire" so it's appropriate for a Charr.), Bowsarr Emmetson (Norn, successor to Emmet Bloodhawk. A double reference. to Richard "Bowser" Munson of Junkyard Wars fame and the aforementioned Gnaisf Emmetson (I Named Emmet before I picked this).), Hamleet Grimdour (Human, a tribute to a friend of mine who tried to translate the entire text of "Hamlet" into 1337. He never finished, so don't ask where to read it.), Amaranth MacBlues (Sylvari, a QUADRUPLE reference. More Shakespeare, he Blues Brothers, the song "Amaranth" by Nightwish, and the Amaranth plant. Am I combining two different musical genres in one name? yes.), and Karm the Gnaisfian (Asura, sucessor to Gnaisf the Screamer, no reference unless you count the carried-over Gnaisf). So references are good, or at least, can be good. I defy any of you to say that if you came upon any of my character names or proposed character names in-game, unaware of the entomology, you would say "lame".
"XX thing XX" names and blatant non-names, however, are pathetic.
Postscript- I will be REALLY cheesed of if I log on to Guild Wars 2 and find that one of you has stolen one of my names.

meh, the way I look at it is that people are here to have a good time and play a game.
The name the person chooses for his/her characters doesn't bother me in the least. I've seen names based on serious role play and names chosen for humor and everything in between.
Whatever reason they choose the name it's whether they play nice and treat people in-game decently that matters to me.

What are you expecting? The majority of the human population are shit munching retards.
Just take a quick glance in game.
The majority of people:
-Dye their armor black
-Use cookie-cutter builds
-Copy other people's builds
People in the game have no creativity, so when they copy a fictional character's name it doesn't surprise me.

I don't always hate it when people take names from certains things, but I hate it when there are ten thousand people that have the same name only with mild spelling changed (mostly the Narutards). Most of my names are original, rarely I will take a name from mythology or any other source, but only very descrete characters that I doubt anyone would recognize.

I'm fine with Japanese names for people who look Japanese. I hate it, though, when they look not the least bit asian and have japanese names. I also hate it when they try and sound japanese, but go ahead and include things not in the japanese alphabet (L, etc.). I just someone naming their person Malachiko Masakachi and they had green hair and all this weird stuff and that bugged me
And yes. My main is named Yukihiro Chigusa. Wannafightaboutit? And yes, if i hadn't already invested a lot of money in him, I would go back and rename him

And you do realize that there are real-life white people that have Japanese names, right? And Japanese people that have so-called North American names?

I don't mind seeing novelty names in PVP because they'll probably deleted for some new one the next day. I don't mind it so much in PVE unless the person is trying to turn it into an act that's getting stale. Also I've seen some people with names like that go far with those characters in the game and I couldn't imagine doing some big time title hunting with a name like that.

I don't mind it per se, it just does tend to label people as fanboys or idiots prior to me actually talking to them.
I suppose I should be grateful that these people have labelled themselves so openly so that I might avoid any contact with them whatsoever.
I'm a tad embarrassed that people will assume I got my main toon's name from the recent, appallingly bad movie Beowulf.

Breakfast Mc Rit
I've found that a good portion of people that make serious names are either extraordinarily reserved or they have an aura of superiority. Neither are exactly fun to play with, in my opinion.
I play with anyone, though. The names can get annoying at times, but when you choose not to play with someone you lose the chance at possibly finding someone really fun. All that said, I love the novelty names that make me smile and I like it when people can enjoy mine (usually Breakfast Mc Ritual or Christmas Bandit.)

And for that second part, yes, there is. But does that mean your average japanese/american person has a japanese/american name? No. Gwyneth Paltrow named her child Apple. Yet your average american isn't named after a fruit.

on the other hand he really is a fruit. naah kidding, i love the guy.
as a side note, anyone who uses numbers in their name and comments on other peoples names is...what the word again? hypocritical? yeah thats it.

I like some novelty names. Some stuff def. makes me laugh, like "Forgetful was Uhh" (one of the best names IMHO).
Why? Probably because I don't RP... I talk with RPers a lot, who need names that fit their characters. I agree to that, given you give a certain personality to the character and do want his name to fit, in most cases.
I don't see my characters has having personalities, with the exception of my necromancer. I don't know how I could RP as a GW character, for some reason. I like RPGs in general, I'd attend LARPs if I could... most probably because I don't have an avatar really. I play the character. I have such hair color, such personality and all. While on GW, well I have the avatar in front of me and there's some... dissociation O_o.
EDIT: There we go, I got it. In a LARP, I AM the character while in GW and other games I CONTROL a character. It's not the same to me.
And well, I fail to see how I could RP with so many different characters, especially if they're a family, like I see some people have.

For PvE, I like serious names.
For disposable PvP chars, I love funny novelty names.
I hate any unoriginal names that are based off obvious movie and game characters or that have multiple X's in their names. For my name, both the first and last are based off a game and an anime respectively, but they aren't very well-known as opposed to something like LotR or FF.

Archers who have the word Arrow in their name. Goddamn nubs <_<

i like novelty names in pvp but for PvE i chose names in the form of the irish language (Just simple phrases that wouldn't mean much to most people but it just gives me a bit of an identity)
sevendash
The only time I've gotten annoyed by names in games wasn't in Guild Wars, but it was only because somebody had used a name that I had created and I was doing it more to be funny towards the person that pointed it out to me.
I name myself for whatever reason I want. It's all in good fun for me. I'm sorry if it offends you that I named one of my characters after a Killswitch Engage lyric.

I'm fairly easily entertained, so I find a lot of the moderately clever wordplay names fun (Forgetful Was Uhh, for example, made me laugh hysterically). That said, I already have a naming convention for my characters that gives them all 'real' names. Well, except for one of my PvP slots that is used for our alliance scrimmage league... her name is intentionally ridiculous.

Mr. G
In PvE it annoys me as it sort of brakes the storie line to hear a NPC refer to someone as "X X O Owner O X X"
but in PvP I think its welcome, the characters are cheap and novel, often rerolled and constantly at the attention of toher players
Devil-may-Care style names are the way to go there
