Bullova. From Combatribes.
Hmm.. is it really named after Indian battle axe or is it just some Italian stud, who likes beef pilaf and such.

Didn't Final Fantasy X give you the option to change Tidus' name, and as a result never actually pronounced it at all in-game?

Well buttnuggets. I guess I'm remembering wrong. I haven't actually replayed it since my first playthrough shortly after it came out.

The SNES game Fighting Baseballs is a gold mine of bad names: I guess that Mario Mcrlwain has an Italian mother and a Welsh father... Anyway, a name I really hate is Ravioli Mafiosi from the C64 Punch-Out clone Frank Bruno's Boxing.

I hate it when American "Dudebro" games reuse the same tough sounding names with different spellings. Let's see there's Alex Mason in Call of Duty:Black Ops and Alec Mason in Red Faction Guerilla.

I second your second example, I hate when they use a type of pasta as a comedy name for a mobster (ie Tony Macaroni or some garbage), it's so corny and clichéd.

The Tidus voice actor though said it was "tee-dus" in a video where he explained the laughing scene was intentionally awful. (may or may not have been in direct response to "Tidus Fantasy", a mod which makes Tidus laugh the entire soundtrack) Odd though that Dragon Quest VIII tried to get around having to say the player's name (since the voice acting was one of the things they created to pretty-fy the game for the US release), having to resort to saying "Our hero's monster team" in the Arena betting minigame.

I'm not familiar with real baseball players (especially from such an old game) but did they use some program to change the real player names or try to generate new western-sounding names?
