Some of the original French ones are hilariously funny. Have a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Asterix_characters https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Asterix_characters for their meaning. I especially like "Abraracourcix" and "Assurancetourix".

In Norway, the fishmonger was named Hermetix (as in, canned food), and - two of my favourites - the Greek tour operator Setopenextrabus (Schedule an additional bus) and the drunken legionnaire Sophus Antabus.

My personal favorite is Idefix, the dog who is so imprinted on Obelix he has to follow him.

  The English translation of "Dogmatix" is the most perfect translation ever. It kept the original meaning and even introduced a new pun.

    Hah, cool, I didn't know the English equivalent, thank you.
