Dragons of the Rip...very silly sounding name. ELEX is a close second if you considering what it actually stands for...on it's own it's not as bad though.

Divine Divinity simply because it's redundant.

Final Fantasy because there is obviously nothing final about the franchise.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura
What's wrong with that title? Like PS:T, it contains the name of the world/setting followed by the central conflict/dilemma. Both informative and intriguing.

DivDiv. That's the one retarded name I recognize on the list. Well, ff too, but all jrpgs are retarded by default, and not crpgs to begin with.

Eclectic, Lavish, Exhilarating, Xenial

If you know what ELEX actually means than it is a stupid name.
Else it could be a legit fantasy name.
So I go with Dragons of the Rip.

DivDiv of course is out there, but there's a ton of strong contenders. Like, for example, Ultima (what's it even supposed to mean?) or Gothic (has nothing to do with either Gothic novels or Gothic architecture).

Oh yeah!! Gothic!! That's the stupid name I was trying to remember. It has nothing to do with Goths or Gothic art, which means it was chosen only because it connects to Medieval Age. Retarded.

At least in Deablo you fight the devil as final boss or some shit.

PST, definitely. I remember escaping from a planet (sorta), but I don't remember any tournament, and why would you call your CRPG by that name, it should be for an FPS or something.

ELEX has to be the top dog right now.

Beside that, it's a fierce battle between Bravely Default and a lot of other JRPG with their charming (?) random soup of english words as titles/taglines.

Zed "Kingdom Come : Deliverance" is undoubtedly the stupidest title of them all. A classic example of the "let's string together as many empty, bombastic buzzwords as we can" syndrome, so prevalent in vidya gaems.
The result is so bland and impersonal it's not even funny...
