Frankenstein-Dracula variation and other variations with funny names I recently discovered that on January 2016 the ICCF will start a thematic tournament on the Frankenstein-Dracula variation of the Vienna game.

[FEN "..."]
1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.Bc4 Nxe4 4.Qh5 Nd6 5.Bb3 Nc6 6.Nb5 g6 7.Qf3 f5 8.Qd5 Qe7 9.Nxc7+ Kd8 10.Nxa8


Tim Harding gave it this name


  "because of its hair-raising and bloodthirsty nature."


Now I am wondering: are there other variations with funny names?
You can just browse through this list:

I suspect a lot of the names out there aren't official like the Reversed Rat (1. d3 e5) and Double Duck (1. f4 f5 2. d4 d5), while the Pterdoactyl variation appears to be recognized.

Some other funny or interesting names: Creepy Crawly Formation, Bayonet attack (recognized), Pork Chop, Nescafe Frappe attack in the Budapest Gambit, the Apocalypse attack in the Caro-Kann.
