I think this fits the spirit of the question. I've heard a thirdhand story of a rogue who was polymorphed into a bear. Whoever was giving a quest didn't want to pay the bear, so they grabbed a random guy off the street and said, "This is the druid who awakened me. Treebark…Everbrown."
As for PC in the party name, @gelatinousrube.bsky.social 's fairy berserker, Flynn Ticklebum. There are not enough characters in a single skeet to list his full name, titles, and style.
Sensei Flynn Ticklebum, King of the Soggy court, Professor Emeritus King of the Ring, Monsignor Macho Fae Flynnie Savagebum III, Esq, DDS, Notary Public of Constant Sorrow, Twice Champion of the Tree, vanquisher of Three Goats, Haver of Much Restraint, the Fallen and Resurrected
I played a Beasthide Barbarian named Bernhard Torbjörn (“Strong Bear Thor’s Bear”). Then he multiclassed in Druid so he could wild shape into a full bear.
And then there’s my Beastmaster Ranger, Ragnvald Svendsen. His favored enemy was beasts & monstrosities, favored terrain was forests & mountains, had an eagle companion, and was a member of a woodworkers guild. No word on if he secretly played the saxophone though.
my comparative semiotics professor turned messianic cult leader vampire attempting to unravel the secrets of death to restore her immortal soul, Chelsea Stasny-Earnsbell, had five trusted lieutenants I also controlled since they were on my character sheet, and one of them was named: Deciduous Bach
I made a goblin named Tog who was a baker in a goblin city, and the party decided to teach him to be a master patissiér even though nobody in the goblin city likes pastries. it was the meanest thing I think I've ever seen a ttrpg party do
they were committed too. Made a ton of persuasiom checks to convince him that fancy sweets are on trend and beautiful, and he totally bought in, ruining his successful business in the process
I always name my Dwarf warriors Doorknob. Because when I was a kid, I played a dwarf once, and was forced into opening all the doors for the party because despite being a warrior I was the best at safely opening them if it was trapped
also, not a PC, but an NPC, but I made a rabbit trickster they’d occasionally encounter on the road who would harass the party. He was seemingly unbeatable and had the uncanny ability to pull weapons out of thin air. His name was Beugene G. Bonet, but the locals called him Buggs
I made an NPC for a Pokémon campaign who wore a red hat with the symbol of the Unova Pokémon League, (whose real world analogue is Yankee Stadium,) and used a shiny Arbok, (a gold cobra.) I named him The First Dread
