Shoot-em-ups have the worst ones- Gynoug sounds like someone passing a difficult bowel movement, Axelay is a good name for a scrolling Golden Axe beat-em-up, but for a shooter?
Re: Great games, with awful names.
For some dodgy titles you really have to look at the Japanese versions of the Castlevania games. Most of the Castlevania series (2d games at least) I think are really good but take, say, Harmony of Dissonance (weird enough, but acceptable as to me it's a musical play on words) was know in "Japan as Concerto of Midnight Sun".
Yours sincerely, the little voice in your head that talks when you read.

999: 9 hours, 9 persons, 9 doors - I can understand terrible grammar when it comes to bad translated dialogue. Just. But how on earth can a title like this make it onto store shelves?
Football Manager - I mean...it does what it says on the tin, but it's not exactly the most creative of titles, is it?
Bravely Default: If you saw this for sale and you had no knowledge of it, you'd just think they plucked two random words from the dictionary and put them together.
Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver - Just plain pants.
Wii U - Not a game, but it's just generally a terrible name for a console. One of the worst ever.
