I usually don't care much about coaster names, but I'll give my opinions anyway. [:D]

Best:
Wildfire
Kumba
Judge Roy Scream
Oblivion
Revolution

Worst:
Most of CP's coaster names (excepting Raptor)
Expedition G-force
Thunder Dolphin
Mamba
Most of the overused names (excepting Shockwave, which I still think is sort of cool).
