Frankestein-Dracula Variation in the Vienna Opening (1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.Bc4 Nxe4 4.Qh5 Nd6 5.Bb3 Nc6 6.Nb5 g6 7.Qf3 f5 8.Qd5 etc.), Orangutan Opening (1.b4, thus named by Tartakower), Fried Liver Attack (Fegatello, which means little liver) in the 2 Knights (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.Ng5 d5 5.exd5 Nxd5 6.Nxf7), I think there's a Wimpy Variation in the English, but I don't remember how it goes (something with e3, b3, I think), the Global Opening (1.h4 a5 2.a4), the Halloween Gambit (also named Leipzig Gambit, 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Nxe5)

I'll be back with some more, once I remember them

The Monkeys bum variation of the Modern, because that's what you must be to play it ^_^ 1.e4,g6 2.Bc4,Bg7 3.Qf3?! is the Monkey's Bum, white has better options :D That Halloween gambit looks very unsound, who would actually name that garbage? And The "Global Opening" serves no purpose, the b5 and g5 squares are non essential and black gets the center and development for free, and weakens the b3, g3,b4, and g4 squares.
