Here's my list of names that I think are funny, starting in alphabetical order:
Boine
Dark Wind
Famers
Gigas
Lightning Bolt
Porksor
Proteus(this a species name of a bacteria I learned in class)
Snow Wind
Tatoolo(a human name)
Tborne(sounds like T-bone)
World
There are some I can't remember as of right now. When it comes back to me, I'll post it. Until then, post names that you think are funny.
Rich (should have been the summon Lich)
Strawberry (generic soldier name)
Tingel (surname for Meliadoul, Izlude, and Vormav)
Meliadoul
Rofel (sounds like ROFL)
Flotiball
Mimic Daravon
Pooh (Porky attack)
Little Carrot (Morbol name)
BTW, proteus is Greek for 'first'. It's the root of the prefix proto- and the word protein.
Mustadio.
Flansburgh - Generic name
Well, this one will take some time to explain.
My friend Andrew and I recently played through FFT. It was his first time, and probably my 20th. Well, he and I have this running joke going. You see, being males, we two are quite appreciative of the female form, including breasts. Heh, I think most men are equally as appreciative of breasts. We had a joke where we would call them a word that would be pronounced "tahn-tahrs". We had never written it out, so we had no set spelling. We could be in public and yell something like "TAHN-TAHRS!!!" and no one would know what we meant, so we'd always get away with it.
Well, in FFT we finally got to Finath River and we were fighting the load of Chocobos there. He took them all out but one. A red one.
The red chocobo was running from him, a lot. Agrias was dead, and so was the mage, so we had a knight, a monk and a samurai. The chocobo would simply hit and run with Choco meteor, and the fight was looking grim.
After the bird felled all but one of his guys (his monk), and there were two counters on zero, the chocobo was finally in attack range, with a wave fist. It was now or never. If this wave fist didn't kill this animal, someone would crystalize, and the game would be reset and we'd have to try the fight over.
So, anxious to kill the bird, Andrew exited the attack screen to check the Red Chocobos name, so he could shout at it by name as he finished it off. And when he did check that out, the Red Chocobo was named:
Tantars.
goodman.yes,that's a generic unit name.funny i put the thief class on that guy,and he ends up a "badman" after all.
I'm tremendously shallow when it comes to unit names. By default, I was given a nice Chemist with 74 Faith, but his name was Bugsy. Naturally, I had to go recruit another soldier with somewhat lesser Faith, but at least his name wasn't Bugsy... I recruited someone to replace a female Squire named Vanilla, as well.
you should have just renamed them before you recruited them.74 faith in recruitment is very rare.Quote:

Not by normal means. I like to pick my units' names, so I get all my generics at Soldier Offices.Quote:

Do you know what's really funny -- seeing a uribo named Gigas or a porky named Porksor.
What do brave and faith even do?Quote:

But other than that, what do they do?
Brave affects physical attacks and defense. The higher the number, the better your physical offense and defense are. A low Brave makes it easier to find rare treasures by Move-Find (odds of getting the rare item is equal to 100% - Brave).
Faith affects how much damage your spells do and also how much damage spells do to you. Both healing and offensive magic are affected by Faith. Having a Faith of 0 (Innocent) makes you immune to spells completely.
So having a faith of 0 would also make your spells ridiculously weak, right?Quote:

Of course both physical and spell damage are also affected by Zodiac alignments.
Another funny name:
Rubber Suit
Zalbag
Mustardio :p
Mustard! :)
I forgot all about Meatis; that's a pretty funny name. I think it's a mistranslation of meatus, which means "canal." I learned this in anatomy & physiology.
A mistranslation in Final Fantasy Tactics? I don't believe that for a second!!Quote:

Don't forget about Petes!
I have seen female units with the name 'Seth'!
Badum....that's a pretty funny name, especially on a priest, but it would suit a thief perfectly well. :D
