Pair of Fraternal twins I played, at different tiems.
Born of a wealthy family that did not want to deal with meta-type children.

First one was a troll meat shield named Chuckles, he was born a troll.
The other was Giggle, at puberty he underwent URGE and expressed as a troll.
One suffered from hybromania (uncontrollable laughter at bloody, disturbing scenes) the other pretended to have it, neither knew each other.

Oner of my friends liked the pair so much she took one or the other as contacts with every character since.

Nightmare and Dusk, brrrr.

Had two NPCs that I would like to run, interesting back story too.
Twin elven mages, Razzle and Dazzle.
Both sisters are from the Tir, about late twentys. One was born a human, but parents and doctors covered it up with cosmetic surgery. Nothing short of a DNA test can tell the difference between the two.

Anytime a player uses the same name for all their characters... Typically Shade, Edge, or some animal name like Tiger and Wolf.

I despise all Troll references to size like Tiny and Mr. Big. Okay there large we understand.

From my players: Edge, Scorn, Slade, Leon, Whip, Sarge, Darkness, Equalizer, Khan, Slick, Blue, Prowler, Sharpe, Fingers, Centurion, Mr Blueberry, Gonzo with an M ("Oh, Gomzo? No, Gonzo with an M"), Haubitz, Adolph (guess who he named himself after...), Crisp (burn victim), Leech, Beowulf, S8 (for section , Silverbeard, Co-Caine, Candle, Havoc, Nails, Dreamer, Whisper, Orion, Pale Dragon, Blacksmith, Grimlock, Taurus, Lich, Will, Windwalker, Gunslinger, Ulysses, Frenchie, Quake, Black Rhino, Wrench, Blackspike, Hitchhiker... those are all I remember right now. (Yes, we've been playing for a long time, and quite frequently )

We had SNake-eyes, Stalker and Scarlett in one group....

Lopez is a Rigger....the tank love proves it...

Does having a fake SINed cred-stick under the name "Yuri Hugh Jazz" count?

Well somebody better figure it out. I've got a long running plan to set up a booth at the battlefield and make a mint.

"My god came to earth and the only thing I got was this lousy tshirt" tshirts will sell like hotcakes.

Imagine the marketing!

Yasha = Translated from Japanese meaning "Female Demon"
A Psychotic ex-Lone Star Combat Medic bent on cold effectiveness and the inability to throw a grenade, yet deadly with pistols. Did I mention that she has contracted HMHVV?
Favorite quotes...
Yasha "Get out of the chopper!"
Hired rigger "What this is my cho..." Glazer to the head.

A flash bang lands in the backseat of the MPUV "oops!"

It's about now that I throw in the big list of street names we came up with on Dumpshock absolutely ages ago. The names on it range from the corny to the cool to the super corny to the super cool (not much of a range when it comes to names really)

Characters I have had.
Maubee-Jamaican Shark Shaman
Night Bender-Troll Silent way physad before there was a silent way, I believe (1990 or so)
The nazerene- Psychotic Jewish Troll, also a religious fanatic and heavily cybered. Imagine my surprise to see a similar character portrayed by Dolph Lundgren in Johnny Mnemonic.
Icepick-Very short lived skateboarding assasin using extendable cyberspurs, but only one at a time.
Carydon-Old man of the sea type Shark Shaman
Red Shift-Previously Red Hawk, but some of the gun nuts kept calling him Black Hawk, and he took the name from bird, not a gun, so since he had college and some background in particle physics, he changed to Red Shift. He was Amerind Hermetic Mage, focusing on mathematic relationships.

Some of the names given out in games:
Flail, given when a Physad got both arms broken when he unjacked a quadriplegic dwarf rigger from the exoskeletal walker he was plugged into, causing random signals to go to the hydraulics while his arms were deep inside it.
Hershey Boy-When a ganger went to a posh restaurant and asked for chocolate syrup for his milk. It was a bluff roll to show he was meant to be there, but he had no bluff skills and defaulted to his Charisma of 1 and rolled...a 1.
AJ-given to an ex-military type who was initially called Buttersworth from an incident while serving where a sniper took out a syrup bottle during breakfast and coated him with it. Buttersworth was too long and some one said 'Aunt Jemimah', also too long, but it got shortened to AJ as a street name with an in joke to it.

About the best character name I've come across was a runner in a game I GM'd. She was a stealth/special ops type named "Styx". As in, you really don't want to cross the Styx, you don't get to cross Styx twice... That would be the river Styx from mythology - the crossing between the land of the living and the dead. Of course it works really well with that old children's rhyme, "Sticks and stones will break my bones, but names will never hurt me..." Well this Styx is a nmae that really breaks bones! (I was so jealous - wished I'd thought of the name.)

Best character name I ever had was actually a rename partway through a campaign. He had started out as a very attractive troll (CHA 4 I think) untill he ended up on the wrong end of a sub machine gun called shot to the face. After paying the hospital bills for several months while his face and skull was reconstructed to the point where he no longer had to be fed through a straw his bank account was diminished enough that he couldn't get any reconstructive surgury done to make his face look any less like it'd seen the buisness end of a lawnmower. He got tagged with the name Elfin-Face and it's stuck ever since. Even though he's long since gotten his face fixed.

I'd like to add that to be realistic a street name should be short and simple. In a high-stress situation you don't need to be trying to say Myxsptlk when adressing the mage. The name should be 1, maybe 2 syllables. With respect to the existing Shadowrun canon, names like Hatchetman and Tinkerbell probably get shortened to "Hatch" and "Tink" on a run.

T'Arse - Good solid name for the runners to give to the dwarf rigger. Give it a few sessions, let them enjoy the name, then point out that it is a contraction of 'Short Arse'...

Dude, you forgot Max Payne! Good street name, that is!

Well...
All my characters, in almost all RPGs I've played had the same name
MATT.

MATT Connor, MATT O'brien...
Sheesh interesting why everybody even in my real life situation call me that.

Once I've invented female name version of MATT but it's so stupid I will not write it right here

Oh! Once I've had character which wasn't called MATT. In Warhamer my second character was called Ender Warloken

I had a troll at one point named Ugh Mugha.

Worst name? Man Demon, an elf with green skin.

The name would have made more sense if the player had bothered to mention the horns, fangs, and tail.

How about the name Fightoren and Cleroricus? I wonder what they did for the group? Hmmm....

My first character was... ugh... Bodycount. Named after Ice-T's metal band.

Like many I also had a sammy named Predator.

What else, what else...

Oh, an elven decker named Gorka-Morka (the orc characters LOVED that).

Erm Names of characters i've seen.

Rhino~ Character name was Ryan O'brian, SURGE'd Cyclops Physad
Syn~ Elf Physad
"B"~ Bianca was the name for this Human Physad
Leon~ Human Sammie
Gilbert~ Troll Sammie
Mo~ Elven Otaku

Don't get many mages or riggers around this parts.....

One of my personal favorites was, "WC", short for "Windchaser", a rigger we had...

Of all people, I was the one who helped the PC come up with it. Amerind Rigger, I thought, it fit perfectly.

Not only did the others burst out laughing when they heard it, they kept making comments like, "Allright, after we correction position the water closet..."

Speed Freak
Human with Wires 3, SG Link 2, spurs and and not enough essence for a trigger.

Ball Crusher: The Dental hygienist.

Ajax: Hey BC, where are you?
BC: Uhhh, dunno.
Ajax: In a building, at home, outside .... What?
BC: Outside, at a street corner.
Ajax: Good, do you see a sign? Are you at an intersection...um, where two cross? There should be a sign somewhere.
BC: Uhh, ya, there it is. I'm at the corner of walk and don't walk.
