I found this on 1up today. Some might get a kick out of this list.

Cloud Strife ranked pretty high up their on the horrible name scale. I would put him in the top 5.
I give this thread a 9.7.
Thank god for the disable signatures option.
LOL, article said SO3 was a sloppy, overblown game
I liked Cloud.

Who am I kidding, I loved cloud.
I've alwatys thought that Cait Sith was a great name, the character itself is quite questionable, but the name is great, at least it's different to the dozens of Lennas, Waynes, Vincents and Jacks. And Fayt Leingod was also a good name, but the worst part is that 1UP directly spoils the biggest (and best) moment of Star Ocean 3. And how exactly is an amazing game like SO3 a "sloppy, overblown mess"?
The other three places can't be argued, though
Ultimate generic JRPG name: Rad. It is always generated in a random generator at some point or another.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
Dart from Legend of Dragoon would also get my vote.
Now, TTEOT was a bit sloppy and overblown, but imo, it was still fantastic, just like Legend of Dragoon, which critics panned, but I thought was just the coolest thing since sliced bread.
The marker changing colors to determine when you get random battles was revolutionary.
Anyway, I've loved every Star Ocean I've ever played, and nothing cynical and unpredictably random 1up Nintendo hater website says is gonna change that.
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.

1up were the ones that said that the story was good in SO3 but the battle system sucked so I am not that suprised that said it was sloppy and overblown. The game was good and all but I have played better JRPGs.
Fayt wasn't a bad name per se, it was just very....weird

I don't know, usually I play JRPGs mostly for the story, I do enjoy the battles and everything of course, but I mostly see them as a way to get stronger to face the boss. In SO3, on the other hand, I fighted just because fighting was fun, in the beginng, in the ruins of Coffir, I spent like an hour from random battle to random battle because i was pure fun. Star Ocean had an amazing battle system. I can agree that there was a problem with the collision detection, the fact that you couldn't hit downed enemies was another one, and sometimes, mostly in bosses, and due to the fact that it was in real time, it could be difficult to control the flow of battle. But, other than that, it was excellent.
I also have played better JRPGs, I'm not naming SO3 the best game ever or anything like that, I'm just saying that calling SO3 a "sloppy, overblown mess" is a bit of an insult to an excellent game
I always thought that Fei Fong Wong sounded kind of stupid. Basically because, if you remove the middle name, it sounds sort of like "fairy genitalia."
Also, Chrono Trigger is full of these. A robot named Robo (gee, how original); a frog named... uh... Frog; and a cavewoman with an unpronounceable name. Seriously. Try to pronounce "Ayla" without sounding like you should be taking the short bus to school.
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
