I can't believe no one's mentioned Freedon Nadd yet...

Or do "nads" not have the same slang connotation in the US?
They do in Canada, at least.

yeh, yeh, yeh....NADS has the same meaning in the US. Master Bayts....wasn't that supposedly done on purpose?

How 'bout Corran Horn? Looks great on paper, but say it out ! Say it again! Sounds pretty weird huh?

I certainly did it on purpose, but I only (and always) had characters in "Acts of War" refer to him as "Soon Baytes." See, the thing was, Sue Rostoni would go through my scripts and if, for instance, I had a character refer to Yoda as just plain "Yoda," she would change it to "Master Yoda." So, I introduced a completely unimportant tertiary Jedi character named Soon Baytes, hoping that she would be going through the script, come across the character, and change him to "Master Baytes," and I could say "gotcha!" and then change the character's name to something more suitable.

Unfortunately, she never requested the change, and the character went into canon, a not-so-witty time bomb waiting to be triggered.

A lot of readers tumbled to it, and finally Haden Blackman felt he needed to release the tension in "Obsession."

My least favorite: Lumpy. Hahaha... poor kid.

Garm Bel Iblis (though I guess that isn't EU... and neither is Lumpy, if you wanna be exact)

Saba Sebatyne- It's a total tongue twister for me...

Ysanne Isard

Zsinj

Pretty much all Twi'lek names like Daeshara'cor and Orn Free Taa

Not the name of a specific person, but a group who play music:

A jizz band. That just seems ... wrong.
