I'll mention some that are wierd or memorable names, whether I like the movie or not:

Deuce Bigelow (although I can't stand Rob Scheider)
Grand Moff Tarkin (just a wierd name)
Rooster Cogburn (one of the greatest character names of all time)

There are more but that's the best I can come up with off the top of my head
I don't always talk about bad movies, but when I do, I prefer badmovies.org

Captain Horatio Hornblower!

I've never actually seen the movie(s?) and I know the name is based on a character from books.  I like that name.
