Mostly? Bad puns.
Zeusan is a LF-zon.
Throwmeabone is a bonemancer.
Rocky is a warcy barb(he's a singer, so he's a... rocker...
)ShockingAwe is a Holy Shock paladin.
Maple is a poison javazon(go watch the anime Bofuri for context).
On D2X i had a barb called EnochNittio. That's based on a Finlandswedish joke. It's basically turning a question of how tall are you into a name, one (meter) and ninety (cm).
Other half of the joke is, what's the name of his wife, SirkaNittio, which if spelled Cirka, sounds like "around ninety".
GreatBallsofFire is my Hydra sorc.
Hailey is my Blizzard sorc.
Vidomina is my summon necro, name taken from Heroes of Might and Magic 3.
Tenshinai is an Assa. The name basically translates as Not an angel.
In D2X in a teamplay, i used to play Taishoushuurai, roughly translates to general Lightning Strike. He, was a turbofister. ^_^ Holy Shock, Charge, Fist of heaven, in a groupgame where everyone used Charge as their primary attack, i was the Phys Immune solution. You can still find the thread over on amazon basin. " Charge of the light(ning) brigade".
TurbulentPriest is the name of Zeal paladin. Try videogoogling "who will rid me of this turbulent priest" for a good episode of Blackadder.
My starter sorc in D2R, cold and lightning is Dallandra(just as she was in D2X ). Name taken from one of the main characters in the Deverry fantasy series by K. Kerr.
Daishi is going to be my berzerker barb whenever i get around to levelling him. Basically translates to "Great Death". Daishi is also the alternate name for the Dire Wolf in the Battletech universe(biggest baddest meanest mecha around)...
Dire_Wolf is my current summon druid.
DIREWOLF will be my Whirlwind barb, again once i get around to levelling him up.
And yes, DIREWOLF is my most commonly used online name, Fulcrum my 2nd and Tenshinai 3rd.
And whenever i start a new character, it can take me hours to come up with a name i'm ok with...
