I still to this day think Guybrush Threepwood is the greatest character name.
- e1ven 11y agoOne of the things I love about Guybrush's name is that it he was supposedly named accidentally. From Wikipedia: The origin of the name "Guybrush" comes in part from Deluxe Paint, the tool used by the artists to create the character sprite. Since the character had no name at this point, the file was simply called 'Guy'. When the file was saved, Steve Purcell, the artist responsible for the sprite, added 'brush' to the filename, indicating that it was the Deluxe Paint "brush file" for the "Guy" sprite. The file name was then "guybrush.bbm", so the developers eventually just started referring to this unnamed 'Guy' as "Guybrush".

- terhechte 11y agoYep, together with Zaphod Beeblebrox. Those two together mark the high end of fantastic naming and few others come close.
