It was actually a GURPS character I made for a homebrew setting. It was a male techpriest named Silas Berg who fell out of the imperium and was working to get back to his home. It took something like 6-8 months before my GM noticed, because I only ever used the full name once (initial introduction), then only ever called myself Sy in all interactions after that.

The day that he finally noticed glorious. He had captured our party and was going through the prisoner list. He got to me, read out 'Sy Berg’s, and I swear you could see him bluescreen for a second when he realized that he’d been running a game with a cyborg named cyborg for months without noticing.

Easily one of my favorite experiences in a TTRPG. I’m hopeful that when I get around to running my own game, I’m able to work in the story I’ve got in my head about the library dungeon that culminates in a fight with a wyrm. I really hope I get a similar reaction when I reveal that it’s actually a bookwyrm.

Do library cats’ names count? Like Catticus Finch and the Great Catsby?

Donald Glover goes over his own name in one of his stand up specials. His parents named him “Don Glover”. I guess it’s better than Tess Tickles.
