a vamp whos lastname was bloodfang
i also posted this in funny names because what are the odds?

[Loud Whispers]

How do you check the english meaning?

By (v)iewing the unit. It says on the top. If the Dwarf's name is too long and you can't see it, checking through other relations also helps. Like "Dwarf 1" is married to "Dwarf full name in English"

How can you tell how a dwarf got its nickname?

[Komra]

I just noticed while messing with the name creator that something could, theoretically, be named "Minecraft the Everlasting Master-Block of Worlds."

I'd say that, were it that someone ever got such a thing naturally, they simply win.

It's usually from killing things.

So, my carpenter with the last name "abanbatok" which translates to constructproblem... hmmm

My current fort has a goddess of darkness named 'Sod Murkytwilight the Cloak of Dusk'. I dunno why, but I find that a pretty cool name.

My fort is currently being gutted by a frost wyrm whose name is Plamen, "The Warm Glow".

The name would be more funny if my fort wasn't on fire at the moment.

In my case, for a name to be really noticable, it can't just be cool, it has to be appropriate. My current count/mayor is named Ezum Towerstones, fitting because he plans to build a fortress with a lot of towers. A previous world had a civilization called "The Mechanical Mansions," so naturally when I started a fort with them I chose the name "Gearguarded," but it wasn't until after I'd embarked that I noticed that the expedition leader was named Wheelmesh. In another of my old forts, the very first Legendary Engraver was named Rockimages. That kind of thing.

Deities often have names associated with their domain(s). The RNG looks at their portfolios, and for each element in their name, there's about a 50% chance of it being related to one of their areas of control. I've got a god of wealth whose name translates to "Luxury FortuneGilt the Golden Taxes."

Just as with gods, dragons' names commonly draw from lists of words related to fire and wealth.

Okay, so this is somewhat lewd, but still awesome imho:

"In the midspring of 112, the giantess Otar Climaxmassive the Bold Justice became an enemy of The Fellowship of Carnality."

You'd think the Fellowship of Carnality would be fine with massive climaxes.

[MenacesWithSpikes]

Fortress name:  Trapdeath the Screams of Artifice.  Not from the RNG, though.

[chevil]

Axedwarf named Logem Swordchannel the Pure Executioner.

[Ashsaber]

Fortress random name "Rockgravel".

I found the sheer mundane-ness of the name amusing, especially compared to some of its inhabitants:

Stukos Manlenses and
Zuglar Gateflier

[Callista]

A squad just called itself "The Swords of Evisceration".

Unfortunately, they're a crossbow squad. *Facepalm.*
