Mason "The Line" Dixon from Rocky Balboa. It would have been a great name but the movie took itself a bit too seriously for it to work as a joke.

On the other hand, when I saw GODZILLA, KING OF THE MONSTERS at Japan Society in 1979, when Raymond Burr introduced himself as "Steve Martin," the crowd roared!

Chili Palmer in Get Shorty- could not enjoy that movie with the main character having such a stupid name.
There was a character named Harry Potter in the first Troll movie.

Re: Worst Movie Character Names
This probably won't count as "worst", necessarily, especially in light of this thread full of doozies, but I really dislike it when writers/directors name their characters after famous -- and generally more talented -- directors they idolize. It's particularly jarring in low-budget B-movies, where the pandering is all the more ridiculous because the contrast in quality is so stark. I've seen it a few times over the years and it always makes me cringe, even when the movie is half-way decent, like Stephen Norrington's Death Machine.

Horrible. Equally bad was Whittaker's character. I thought it was either Sol or Saul the entire time watching it.
