15 Dumbest Video Game Character Names Of All Time

Okay, so the deal went through, your idea's going to be seen by millions upon millions of gamers - but so far all you have is a brilliant concept, a set of mechanics and a game world you're sure will sell millions. You need names for all your characters, because maybe - just maybe - somewhere down the line, people will plaster posters these creations all over their walls.

Hell, they may even get a tattoo.

Because if anything, gaming is living proof that we can make almost anything work, if it's given the appropriate conviction. The Wii?! Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater?! As Dave Grohl found out with the Foo Fighters, put a stern foot forward, smile while you're doing it and the masses will do the same.

That said, there's a fine, fine line between "So bad, it's good" and just straight-up terrible. The following characters attempted to walk that tightrope, only to fall head-first into the pit of the latter.

Or did they? Maybe the worse they are, the better they are? If so, let us know your own favourite dumb character names in the comments below!
