Repeat After Me (at Caseg Fraith and by Nodder) is an excellent name.

"Get Some In" at St. Govans is one I've always liked- not only fits with the area's military reference theme but also captures the urgency of the climbing (I'm told).
Pembroke seems to be a hotspot for evocative route names but I might be biased as I love the place and I'm currently going through the guides making a ticklist.
On a related note, Martin Crocker's "RP Screamers" on Portland is genius. Makes more sense when you realise he put it up as a trad line taking the falls the name suggests in the process.
Ron Fawcett's names are pretty much all class. Livesy's "The Golden Mile" is brilliant when you know the story too.
In the Red River Gorge there's a 7b+ called "Jesus Wept". Typically unselfconsciously American, but who wouldn't want to tell people they'd done it?!

There's some quality route names around here. Murdoch the Horse Fucker, Sperm Bitches, Itchy Quims, Poo With Me, Blue Vein Custard Chucker... Things like that...

Amusing potty mouthed smut or bare faced misogyny - let the UKB cognoscenti decide.
(personally I don't mind a bit of the amusing smut and always liked stuff like Higg's
Early Morning Wigwam
or
Tents at Midnight
)

Off the top of my head, in no particular order, my favourite three route names...
