Not sure if these count as "fantastic", but here goes:

* The Ramtop Mountains in ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' has a naming convention in which a child is named by whatever the priest doing the ceremony says, regardless of whether it was intentional or not.  This has resulted in names like James What The Hell's That Cow Doing In Here Poorchick (known as Moocow Poorchick to his friends).  Even royalty is not immune, with at least one of Lancre's ruler being named King My-God-He's-Heavy the First and most recently, in ''Carpe Jugulum'', Princess Esmerelda Margaret Note Spelling of Lancre.
** ''Reaper Man'' (At least I think it's Repaer Man, feel free to correct this if I'm wrong) had One Man Bucket, whose tribe names children after the first thing the mother sees upon looking outside their tent after the birth.  One Man Bucket's full name is "One Man Throwing A Bucket Of Water Over Two Dogs."  His twin brother, born just a few minutes earlier, wishes he could've been called "Two Dogs ''Fighting.''"
