[DrKillPatient]

"The bandit Eslo Spoonbreakfast has been causing us much trouble." ...Is this guy a cereal mascot? Also, the nearby town is called Watchpockets, which presumably implies there's a lot of thievery going on there...

[catenate]

The engraving "The Puppet of Bugs", an image of floodgates.
(My fort's water supply actually uses drawbridges instead.)

[fortydayweekend]

New fort, hit "random name" and the third one up is "Bowelchannel". So my new fort is called Bowelchannel.

[Henny]

I found a volcano named "The Chocolate Fountain".

[FallenAngel]

I encountered a human nation in an adventure world called The Confederacy of Slapping.
My most recent civilization for fortressing is called "The Faithful Rag".
Explains why their clothes are always tattered. And the name of the kobold "civilization" is Chrufufuchreeldis. I mean, they speak in utterances, but what. Just what.

[Urist McBeatdemtantruming]

"ok, i have enough population now to make a marksdwarf squad. Let me do it." *choose militia captain* *create new squad that gets by random name "The earthen targets"* *ROFL HARD*. DF reads thoughts. Sometimes it's the only explanation.

[Mudcrab]

'The Confederations of Brunch'

A mighty civilization, founded on the most important principle of all.

[Valikdu]

'Stirpits, the Passions of Romancing'
It's the name of a lair that belongs to a spouse-converting megabeast.
Implications... disturbing.

My current fortress goes by the name of Gusildesis: Copper Snarling
We are part of the great dwarven civilization known as Dumat Sharul: The Roughness of Impunity

We have produced one amusingly aptly named artifact, a millstone by the name of Lularsisal aka Root Gallows

My neighbors include Elves who seem to to get utterly destroyed by goblin attackers every single time they send anyone to visit me. They call themselves TaleFiminaro, The Trampled Crow.

The local goblin menaces go by the fitting name of Asusbu, The Mysterious Evils. They are a strange lot of goblins who have shown up with human generals and have come mounted on just about everything under the sun.

The naming system in DF is so bizarre and funny that it actually trips me up more when it gives something a perfectly reasonable name rather than one involving forlorn spoons etc.

[Aristion]

Dwarf Civ: The Crazed Chamber
Human: The Confederacy of Lines
Goblin: The Unswerving lie
Also an artifact called Crowdsprinkled the Shred of Sun. It was made at the fortress called Clearingwound.

I like "The Unswerving Lie." Goblins always seem to get some great names.

[klefenz]

A steel chain leggins "Womancastles, the Sparks of Blaming" It contains an image of itself.

I dont really know what to think about this one, for some reason it makes me think of rape, maybe an anti rape device?

Anyway, the militia commander will proudly wear it to battle.

[bennerman]

"The Masculine Points" mountain... I'm 99% sure that if I had embarked there, I would be unable to stop myself from making a giant rock penis.

[doublestrafe]

It's nice that my mayor's deity provides benevolent guidance, but he really ought to find a better delivery mechanism.

I don't get it?
He is irritatingly perfect, as you tend to get with gods.
