How about this route at Owens River Gorge:
"You Have Been Nothing But Trouble Since the First Day I Laid Eyes on You; You're Like a Thorn in My Side; I Don't Know From One Day to the Next What Stupid Lame Brain Stunt You're Gonna Pull; Now Get Out of Here, Get Out of My office, Get Out of My Life, Once and for all Get Out, Out, Out, Out!" 5.11b***

The weirdest one I have heard, would be Dead girls don't say no. A 5/10c in va.
and poop shoot, because by the time you are at the crux move, you feel like one on deck.... it is a 5/11, also in va.

Not lame...
Every one has their own reasons for naming climbs something, and it may not be obvious to the reader, but to the creator of the route, his art bears the name with meaning to him/her.

There is this route that my brother named "Burning CC" because I was starting a campfire with dried up cow crap near the base during his first accent. One I am going to name is "So Damn Protected" taken from a brittney spears song, because I can easily climb around the route and place pro, but it's hard to climb.

There's a 11d climb at Castle Rock(SantaCruz Mtns. - Cali) that has a crux move involving a strange large clam shaped hold.
The route is called what else..."Clamidia".

Best ones I've heard are
"Geriatric sex maniacs from Mars"
"Sleeping bat in a ziplock bag"
"The course of ancient astronauts"
"Three fat chicks on a world tour"
"Why doesn't anybody climb this?"
But my favorite is "First Blood" and true to it's name, it was the first time I ever really bled on a route.

The best route name I've ever heard is on the N Face of Mt Hooker in the Winds, and is called Shady Lady. Brilliant.
The gunks is a gold mine. Fingerlocks or Cedar Box, Make Haste or Tomato Paste, and the other great names mentioned before.
Hueco Tanks is great too. Closed Casket Funeral, the Real Bruce Lee(RBL being an acronym for real bad landing), and a bunch of others I've forgotten.
Sex Never Did This to My Hands is a nice 5.9 hand and fist crack in the Needles - tape up.

In "The Climbers Guide to Squamish" there's a photo of a route ON THE Chief called NEGRO LESBIAN, and the guy climbing it is a skinny little white dude. I got a chuckle.
There's an endless number of great names, but if I got to name one, I'd call it
MAKING BACON NAKED
(sounds painful doesn't it?)

There's a route here in Boise at the Black Cliffs called "Safe Sex Subaru." I just thought that was a rad name.

My favorite name is of this boulder problem in Rocktown called Unknown. I just think that name is so cool.
Aparently a lot of people think it's cool because they keep naming problems after it.
