Whistling Kites - Frog Buttress. The absolute best. You have to see the line to appreciate the name.
Footless Crow - English Northern Lakes. You can't help but look at the line and the name and smile.

Anything put up by Claw - the guys simply a genius both at climbing and naming climbs
Anything put up by Russ Crowe - he carries round a list of names - does a first ascent and spends hours picking an appropriate name from the list - climbs on Rainbow Wall stand out.
Nothing put up by Andrew Corlass / James Falla of Lofty Odours fame - they've been described as using climbing names as some sort of Freudian Couch.
You've got to treat Chris Baxters route names with a degree of suspicion
Pissing on a Friend and Pissing in the Wind at the Youies made it on to a US website dedicated to the best climbing names in the world.
