No, character names have no real effect on the campaign. NPC characters will refer to the protagonist by their name, which has no positive or negative status effects. You can freely choose whatever outlandish name they desire without the fear of any penalty.

However, it should be kept in mind that the character's name must not contain any offensive words/slurs. Doing so might result in a ban or being ostracised by teammates during co-op.
