A "UHF" Easter Egg?
"UHF" is a movie starring "Weird Al" Yankovic as George Newman, the new manager of a UHF station, which he turns into the most popular television station in town with the help of a janitor/children's show host named Stanley Spadowski (played by Michael Richards). Anyways, in one scene of this movie, George Newman's apartment neighbor and karate instructor named Kuni (played by Gedde Watanabe) and several of his students burst out of a supply closet in the rival Channel 8 Studio, and Kuni shouts, "Supplies!" in order to fight off Channel 8's goons in their effort to rescue George and Stanley.

Well, one of the random character names just so happens to be "Supplies!" -- including the exclamation mark at the end! So I can't help but think that this name is a "UHF" Easter egg.

I wouldn't be surprised.
IIRC, they had a contest where you could enter names to appear on the random list generator for Disgaea 4.
Even without the references, I love the random names you can get for generics.
My first time playing Disgaea 1 on the PS2, I got a cleric named "Pudding Bun" that I turned into my omni-mage. To this day, that's what I name my mage character in all video games (if it fits).

Too bad you can't use the name "Pudding Bun" in online RPG's that are very roleplaying-heavy, such as the text-only online RPG "Gemstone IV". If you try to name a Wizard (or a character of any class, really) "Pudding Bun" (i.e. "Pudding" as the first name and "Bun" as the last name), then just a short while after that character enters the game world, you'll get a message that says something like this:

Suddenly a large group of burly Giantmen appear and wrestle you to the ground. "Awright, Pudding!" barks the leader. "Come along quietly now, and you won't get hurt."

These Giantmen will then carry you off to a place called the Last Chance Inn, where you'll have to retire that character just to then roll up a new character who has a more "fitting" name, such as "Valand A'Lanath".
