* [[https://web.archive.org/web/20110812000906/http://www.jaydenandcrusader.com:80/2008/12/29/page-104/ Crusader Hussein Crusader]] from ''Jayden and Crusader'', named for his great uncle Saddam ([[NamesTheSame not]] ''that'' UsefulNotes/{{Saddam|Hussein}} - just that Saddam's dad, apparently).

** And one of their staff members, Sharon, pointed out that you had to have a sense of humor when growing up in the 80s when your name is [[WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs S. Murphy]].

* ''Webcomic/TheLastDaysOfFOXHOUND'' has the unfortunately-named town of Buttfuck, Tennessee. [[PretentiousPronunciation It's supposedly pronounced "Byoot-Fick"]] (but they ain't foolin' nobody).

* ''Webcomic/TheLastDaysOfFOXHOUND'' has the unfortunately-named town of Buttfuck, Tennessee. [[ItsPronouncedTroPAY It's supposedly pronounced "Byoot-Fick"]] (but they ain't foolin' nobody).

* ''One Webcomic/HarkAVagrant'' strip - [[http://fuckyeahharkavagrant.tumblr.com/post/4145943385/gido-no-one-makes-comics-like-kate-beaton]] - features a substitute teacher lecturing a class about putting obviously fake names on the register. "'Tits Palmer'? Do you think I'm retarded?" The last panel features the students comforting poor, hurt Tits.

** Software. It's lampshaded by Nick during his job interview in the third strip, and Ki breaks down laughing upon hearing it during a flashback to her own job interview.

* Mike's son in ''Webcomic/SomethingPositive'': "Shazam [[Creator/WilWheaton Wil-Wheaton]] Dowden". According to Mike, "the hyphen is the source of his powers". Mike and the child's mother Tamara had problems with the name -- originally it was going to be "Shazam [[Creator/JossWhedon Joss-Whedon]] Dowden", but Tamara changed it without telling Mike. Mike, who hates Wil Wheaton, was horrified; "I mean, Christ, why not just name my kid 'Hitler-Stalin Pony Raper Dowden'?"

* The "Fiery Loins" chapter of Space Marines from ''Webcomic/TurnsignalsOnALandRaider''.

* ''Webcomic/GorgeousPrincessCreamyBeamy'' features Cheesecake Boeing 747 St Cherrywell. The middle name is explained by the fact that her parents are cargo cultists. As for the first name, her mother's name is Pretzel, so presumably it's a family tradition.
* ''Webcomic/{{Goblins}}: Life Through Their Eyes'' has--of course--goblin characters. Many - but not all - of these characters are named by the fortune-teller. One character goes by Hava. His full name? Piss-Off-I-Hava-Headache. There is also Dies-Horribly, Fumbles, and mention is made of one goblin (of the same clan as Hava) who is named Stop-The-Ceremony-I-Swallowed-A-Bug
** And one can't forget poor ''Complains-of-Names.''

* ''Webcomic/GeneralProtectionFault'' Software. It's lampshaded by Nick during his job interview in the third strip, and Ki breaks down laughing upon hearing it during a flashback to her own job interview.
-->'''Nick''': Your company's name is GPF Software, but isn't "GPF" an abbreviation for "General Protection Fault," the most dreaded of Microsoft Windows error messages, from which you can only recover by a complete system shutdown?
-->'''Dwayne''': Um... I'm not all that creative...
-->'''Nick''': I personally thought it was a brilliant bit of computer geek humor, sir...

** One of GPF's long-time clients, Goodman Rubber, has a name that's just asking for condom jokes.
* ''Webcomic/TheTrenches'': The main character's name is Isaac Cox. [[SchmuckBait Say it aloud.]]
* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'': Good thing the anagrammatical antitheses are Elan and Nale instead of [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0812.html Lean and Anel.]]
* In ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'', Marten's mother [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1835 attempted]] to give him the middle name [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries "Tiberius."]] But at least he's not [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1829 Kirk.]]
* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'':
** Mituna was named for Mithuna, the Sanskrit name for the constellation Gemini. Unfortunately, the name "mithuna" actually means "sexual intercourse" (that's what the Indians thought it represented, rather than a pair of twins). Although given Mituna's foul mouth and propensity towards sex jokes, it could be considered a rather fitting name. Karkat's name is also the butt of several jokes from the human kids, the most common being [[MemeticMutation Beep-Beep Meow]].
** In a more traditional example, ''Webcomic/Homestuck2'' brings us [[spoiler:the daughter of Jade and Rose: ''[[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom Yiffany]] Longstocking Lalonde Harley'']]. Dear fucking lord.

* You'd think Roast Beef from ''Webcomic/{{Achewood}}'' has an unfortunate name - until you find out that's just a nickname. His birth name was [[http://www.achewood.com/index.php?date=12022002 Cassandra]].

* Webcomic/{{Precocious}} has Pooter's Ice Cream, complete with a steaming heap of accidental ToiletHumor.
* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', Elliot's [[spoiler: superhero form]], "Cheerleadra", was unfortunately [[http://egscomics.com/comic/2010-11-10 named]] by [[MemeticMutation the internet]] in-universe.
* The Hero Association in ''Webcomic/OnePunchMan'' assigns hero names to its members, often to their chagrin. Saitama notably doesn't like being referred to as 'Caped Baldy', and he even joined a group of heroes who were similarly dissatisfied with their names (Red Nose, Drunkard, Toupee Warrior, Dr. Grumpy Pervert, and The Great Degenerate) who are petitioning to have their hero names changed.

** Davan himself has some [[hhttps://web.archive.org/web/20191227221649/https://somethingpositive.net/sp11092008.shtml problems with his name]].
