A Spider Robinson story (don’t remember which one) had a character named “Fleming Ennis”.
80s and 90s wrestling had tons too
I’ll bet there are a few on this board who remember the National Lampoon 1964 High School Yearbook Parody which was to name puns as Airplane! was to every other type of pun. Just a handful of examples:
Dwight Mannsburden
Charles Ulmer Farley (“Chuck”)
Franklin George Furter
Maria Teresa Spermatozoa
Amana Pepperidge
Ray D. Aider
Clark Barr
Terry Dactil
Tupper Ware
Derry Queen
Gale Warning
A. Delweiss
And literally hundreds more.
Mr. Atoz?
A revolutionary political figure in the Honor Harrington series is named “Rob S. Pierre”. Which I thought was a bit much.

One of the bad guys in the Star Wars prequels is called “Nute Gunray”. This is a two stage pun and reference to Ronald Reagan. First “Knute Rockne, All American” was Ronald Reagan’s most famous film (with the whole “Win one for the Gipper!” line). Second, Gunray is a reference to the nickname “Ronnie Raygun” for Ronald Reagan, they just reversed Raygun into Gunray.
The reason for this is apparently George Lucas really hated Ronald Reagan, not only for his conservative politics but didn’t like how the media named Reagan’s “Strategic Defense Initiative” as “Star Wars” as he hated the association.
The Crying of Lot 49 is jammed with them: Dr. Hilarius, Manny DiPresso, Koteks, Driblette…
And in the English dub, Usagi’s name was changed to Serena which is a nice two stage pun, first after her Princess Serenity title she gets later in the series, and also after the Sea of Serenity on the Moon (which is where she later inhabits in the future)
In addition, in the Japanese version her daughter is named “Chibiusa” which basically translates to “Little Usagi”. In order to try to keep the referential name thing going in the English they named her “Rini” which is short for Serena.

***MAD Magazine *** used to do this all the time. (Still does, as far as I know.) The feature I remember best had ads for correspondence courses or special training schools for people who wanted to find a career that suited them. The school/course for parking attendants had testimonials from Nick Adore, Randy Batterydown, Leif Rubber, Gundy Motor, and other satisfied alumni.
They also did posters for movies drawn from everyday situations. One was a horror film based on office life called The Thing at the Reception Desk that no one could ever get past, no matter how hard they tried. It starred Ava Seat and featured Ophelia Sorebutt. Another based on life under the sea starred Tuna Louise. One about plumbers featured The Trapp Family Singers.
That’s almost as good as New Greenpernt in Rocky and Bullwinkle. 
Oooh, and that reminded me: one of Nute Gunray’s fellow Neimoidians is Senator Lott Dod, who was named after two U.S. Senators: Trent Lott and Chris Dodd.
Crap, I forgot Skip Braking! :smack:
The New Testament has a few punny names. David Fitzgerald pointed this out in his book “Nailed”. “Richard Carrier has shown that [Joseph of] Arimathea is an Aramaic pun: ari- (best) mathai- (disciple) –a (town/place). Carrier confirms that the ari- prefix, meaning “best,” appears in such words as aristocracy (rule of the best), aripikros (best in bitterness, hence bitterest), arideiketos (best in display, hence glorious), as explained in standard Greek lexicons. The math- root forms the verb mathein, to teach, and the nouns mathê, lesson or doctrine, and mathêtês, disciple. The -aia suffix as town or place appears for such regions as Galilaia (Land of the Galiyl) and Judaia (Land of the Jews), and such actual cities as Dikaia (Justice Town) and Drymaia(Thicket Town). Could it be mere coincidence that this follower of Jesus comes from Bestdiscipleville, Judea?”
Also, the name Jesus a.k.a. Yeshua means “Yahweh Saves.” Another one is, “We could call the apostle Simon Peter ‘Rocky,’ since that is what his nickname Cephas (in Greek Petros) meant. Matthew has Jesus making a pun when he tells Peter ‘upon this rock I will build my church’”
More than a few of us remember it, I hope. It was published in 1973 and I still have my copy. My long-time faves are: Amanda B. Reckonwith and … drumroll … Theophilus Punoval.
It’s a treasure, can be read cover to cover almost like a novel, with dozens of little storylines running simultaneously.
And while I’m here, a fave from my childhood (although I was in college before I got the joke):
Rocky and Bullwinkle’s Boris Badenov.
Not character names exactly, but there’s a quest in The Witcher 3 in which you have to defeat the wicked Defensive Regulatory Magicon (DRM) by using a book entitled Gottfried’s Omni-opening Grimoire (GOG).
Don’t forget Judas Iscariot.
I didn’t get this until several years ago when looking at plans for a measuring system with its “A to D” (Analog to Digital) Converter, where they ran the letters together to form “AtoD”. I suddenly realized that “Mr. Atoz” from that old Star Trek episode was “Mr. A to Z” – that is, essentially, “Mr. The Entire Alphabet”. Appropriate for a Librarian.
It’s a good thing that the pun worked in EverybodyTalk as well as in English.
