I've always been quite impressed by Anomander Rake. Tim Send a noteboard - 19/09/2010 10:05:10 PM
Also, as temeraire mentioned, Iain [M] Banks has some pretty good names, especially for spaceships in his Culture novels. Examples include Very Little Gravitas Indeed and Ravished By The Sheer Implausibility Of That Last Statement.
