My own preference is for something imaginative, because I find it more inspiring.

Most of the games I have started use quotes from Shakespeare, mainly the speech before Harfleur in Henry V ("Stiffen the sinews", "Summon up the blood"). I have also used a quote from George Santayana ("Remember the past" and a misquote "Condemned by history"), plus "Dark days lie ahead" from a Haiku I wrote to promote a public press game.

However, my favourite is "Infamy", which refers to my favourite line in a movie:
"Infamy, Infamy, they've all got it in for me" spoken by Julius Caesar in "Carry On Cleo".

*takes notes for how to name a game*

I prefer dadaistic.

My favorite named games in my time on the site:

"Ava Eats a Shoe"

"Zultar is a Giant Sissy"

"Haha Eden sucks (pt. 1)"

I was also apparently in a game called "Bosox" that didn't involve bo_sox.

A couple of my favs that are webdip related:

"I Just Ghost-Rated Your Mom"

"CD's Nuts"

CD's Nuts was a great game.

Surreal is fun too.

@Valis: I find it easier to recall details of a game with an imaginative title than a descriptive one. Probably why I prefer them.

OOOOHHHH THAT WASNT COMPLETELY BAD!!!

Yes it was

abge, you were in the original one? I was in "CD's Nuts-2", and did wonder whether there was a first game or if it skipped to part 2, for obvious comedic reasons.

No but seriously, sometimes brevity is important:

Did you just reveal who you are in 50 games?

whoops

That's gonna cost you a lot of points lol

Knowing an opponent in an anonymous game by the creator's nomenclature. :)
Then identifying his country so you can destroy him by knowing his playing style.

That's it ... I'm naming my next game "I am not JamesYanik" just for Randomizer's sake.

I thought Valis was the cats guy. Lolol jk

there is something about naming a name as a parody of other game names.
the dogs are back in town (for example).
tho it does only lead to that person being found out and offed (in game only please) by the name sake of the parody.

"Knowing an opponent in an anonymous game by the creator's nomenclature"

… is why I have used a whole load of names, and not all Shakespearean.
