althought it's not random, my brother keeps naming his dwarves "Agedfish of smelling", with a first name of "ye olde", although npc's make fun of hime for his name.

Frogoplonker, Tigermen

I thought it was the name of their deity, but it is actually the name of the Tigerman Civilization.

The other three are cool too.

One is so badass that she only needs to drink droplets to live.

The other is so wimpy drinking kills her.

Oh, and the THIRD only needs to drink ONE droplet!

So, the plural of droplet is the same as droplet? That's odd...

The Accidental Anvil would make a grand name for a dwarven civ...  or for a civ of Tiny Toons. :P

Subtle pronunciation difference, I guess? I can definitely understand elves' written language being not as expressive as when spoken...

You can allow or stop your dwarves from eating these mushrooms, but it's entirely optional and doesn't turn Dwarf Fortress into Dwarf hookah-smoking pad.

The current translation system doesn't support inflections of any kind.  There's just one Elvish noun that stands in for all forms of each English noun.  One of many reasons the language system is going to get an overhaul.

I have an artifact called 'grievedbrides the luxurious harmony', which sounds to me like: killing your bride makes the world a better place'...

Also an artifact crown called 'The old ship'... I can imagine the dwarf proudly walking through the fortress with a hat in the form of a ship on his head....
