Funny A.I./B-Spec driver names?

[chimuel]

Haha thanks..now my driver is officially a her

Reina is Spanish for queen anyway haha

 

[Xesse2213]

K.Rowland and O.Osborne

 

[Stew2000]

My new driver...

This one made me laugh...

 

[SuperShouden]

So, I entered the PD Cup Series and noticed some interestingly named opponents:

W. Schroder
L. Martin
O. Joly
D. Quinn
C. Mueller
H. Laiho
U. Ortega
P. Oh
D. Scholz
U. Freeh
R. Marechal

Definitely, P. Oh and D. Quinn are the worst of the bunch. Anyone come across other silly AI names?

NOTE: This is not a negative on PD. The last names are real names with a randomized first letter. However, that combination can lead to some pretty funny names.

One of the early races I did had a B. Gerber

 

[speedthrill]

Sigh, be glad there are names, and not 1,2,8,16....

 

[ObscureSerenity]

My first driver is a Mr P. Didier. Grabbed that, have only just now through this thread read that there are numerous humerous names ...am wondering if there was actualy Diddy last name.

 

[SuperShouden]

Sigh, be glad there are names, and not 1,2,8,16....

True. Still, you think they'd come up with less silly names than "P. Oh".

 

[Stew2000]

F.Alonso is a bad idea. He wrecked my LP640 >.<

 

[bduddy]

How are those names "stupid"?

[Frozen]

A.Foley was awesome XD

D.Oh to XD

 

[Trucker_Sean]

Yeah, I saw some real gems using the name generator when you create a driver for B spec mode. I was hoping I could just name my driver Cole Trickle but sadly you can only use their pre-made names. Finally settled on E. Gutteirrez.

 

[MidianGTX]

I don't see how those are cheesy, GT5 just happens to include a massive amount of real names from across the globe. The letter of the first name is randomized by the way, so if you see an amusing combination it wasn't necessarily intentional. See here:

They're more silly than stupid. P. Oh is really close to "PU". And D. Quinn = Doctor Quinn Medicine Woman.

I think the names are completely random though, so every once and a while you come up with some really funny ones.

My second B-spec driver is A. Anderson...Like Andy Anderson.

 

[gmrtom7]

I got a P. Neuman (tributary to Newman?) and an E. Massa. I even got a Y. Yamauchi! Seems that old Kaz has a brother!

 

[Ardius]

As has been said, they are real names with a randomised first letter. If you see a famous name (e.g. Hamilton, Vettel, etc) - it is possible to get the full name eventually.
You will notice there are quite a few names from current F1, GP2, NASCAR, etc.

 

[Rob192005]

I need in on this..now,Let the scrolling begin.

So far I've found

C.Montgomery(Burns)
M(ichel)Salgado
F(ernando)Torres

But I went with I.Goh(quickly).

And he did,one race one win 6 laps of the Autumn Ring Mini in a Golf R32 but not without a fight with a 2001 Primera.

 

[Xx__1c3man__xX]

I was flipping through names for my fourth driver last night and stumbled on A.Hunter...

Not necessarily unique, but I assembled this as A Hunter, and decked him out in hunter green racing attire...Kinda ironic...

 

[Scoop2004]

I've raced against A.Gay

 

[sondogg]

I got F.Prince
we call him Fresh.

 

[TommyWizard]

Im racing against a certain F. Kruger!

 

[danowat]

I raced against the one, the only, J.Bieber!!!!

 

[Ferrari_458]

I've had O.Oh against me and my B-Spec driver is called M.Walker (Murray Walker)

 

[IzoAzlion]

I raced against the one, the only, J.Bieber!!!!

I hope you blew his car up. XD

 

[Stew2000]

My B-Spec driver was racing against L. Lewis.
That made me laugh.

 

[Mkwone]

In Race creator i had U.Burke, i wish i had selecected it. Latter there was S.Bernard

 

[Sidstyler]

trying out B-spec a bit and some of the names you can get for your AI can be pretty ridiculous.

Some examples :
J.Van Damme
F.Castro
F.Aguilar

Any one else get some funny ones?

 

[joejoefla]

I found M. Bender in the game. Go Futurama!

 

[ScouserInExile]

I might be imagining things, but aren't all the surnames actual racing drivers?

 

[Arcturus]

Currently have J. Montoya in the stable and recall seeing J(ackie).Chan and K(obe).Bryant among many possibilities I've clicked through.
