Im sure this has been around here before, but I'm bored, and want to have some fun...

So whats the worst monster name in your opinion, or the most stupid sounding/originality lacking

Cobble Poundstone. Actually, a lot of the Old Ascalon boss names.
Or Rogue, followed by Rogue Elementalist. One uses 'Rogue' as a noun, the other uses it as an adjective. It's like 'zomg anet pwned the english language'.

Crush Kill. I don't know if Anet was being uncreative here or just plain lazy when coming up with this name LOL.

Not monster name, but:
Monk. In other games, monks are uber bare-handed melee fighters. Our monk should be called a cleric. Even Urban Dictionary agrees.

2. cleric
a holy priest specializing in healing magic and wards against the undead - devoted to helping others

that cleric just ressurected zaven

Non-boss names:

Life Pod - supposed to be a bit of a twist, but instead sounds like something out of Star Wars

River Skale Tad - WTF is a Tad? Tadpole? Why not just say "Cutesy Wootsey Itty Bitty Skale?"

Rockshot Devourer - Okay, I get these are in the desert, but what is a Rockshot? Sounds like something from American Idol or what David used to defeat Goliath.

Rogue Bull - watch out...it's a bull with a leather jacket on!!! He's a rebel!!!

not certain here but i always find "Kekona Pippip" amusing... Other than that "stone elemental" is pretty unimaginative... hehe. or the bosses that are just called "Mursaat Elementalist" etc.

Grawl bosses names sound like generated by some lame program

Pekpek, Dimdim, Wupwup...the best one is probably Onaona Kubkub

Boss names in general are simliar like the stone summit for example all have something in common with rocks (its a clan thing I think). The gnrawl names end with two repeating words normallly as their tribal/clan boss names.

I agree with the grawl ones, everytime I've started a character I thought those were really lame... Daboo DimDim, and some of the mesmer bosses really have stupid sounding names, makes me wonder, what exactly do they really plan to do to me in battle? I remember one however, in the southern shiverpeaks that sounded kind of sexual or something, forgot the name though, but after beating it, I was thinking, "Ya, what exactly was THAT suppose to mean?" was he gonna smash me then squirt me or something?

I was gonna mention "Something Pekpek" ( I dunno his first name), but you beat me to it. When we were fighting our way to Granite Citadel, as soon as we saw that monster's name 4 people including me laughed like HELL!! It turns out that the other 3 peeps who typed "ROFLMAO!" were Filipinos. I dunno if some crack head filipino submitted this funny name to ANET or this dude actually works for them, but in our language, "pekpek" means....well..."p-$$y"

Edit: LOL!! I found his name!! It's "Edibbo Pekpek" - Grawl Boss. Hmm.... "Edibbo" really sounds like "edible"! Lol! I dunno, maybe it really is a joke!

I do say that's an amazing one, but I do have to say that the boss that get's my pick is

*drum roll*
...

Willa the Unpleasant Oh boy, watch out brave adventurers! He's a very unpleasant guy. I mean, is he unpleasant like when the ice cream trucks drive right past you and you obviously want to buy their goods? Or maybe he's unpleasant like a case of crabs.... err "devourers". I fear that I should stop making fun of him due to his Angry Letters to the Editor of DOOM!! *runs and hides*

Maybe it's just me... but when I see him I go "Hey it's *Ghasp and prepares to butcher the name* that mesmer boss we need to kill!"

All of the Boss names in Sorrows Furnace... They were complete crap. I hate every last name they decided to choose to win that contest.
