Marjon Beauchamp’s name would probably produce the highest Scrabble score in an actual game.
Marjon Beauchamp most likely has the highest scrabble name point possibility in an actual scrabble game.

To maximize the Triple Word Score spots we would need to use a name that is 15 characters long to hit all 3 on a Scrabble Board column.
I quickly assigned a potential point value based on the value of the letters in their name AND their placement in the name. Letters in the 1st, 4th, 8th, 12th and 15th rows of the first column on a scrabble board are most important as they are double letter and triple word spots.
The formatting here is hard, so I’ll include a picture of the spreadsheet I made to make these calculations along with what the scrabble board looks like.
Marjon Beauchamp is a clear favorite with his name containing high scoring letters all around and the J being in the 4th position of his name.
If players follow these exact moves:
Player one- JAIL with the J as a blank on the H5 spot
Player two- INJURY through the J
Player one- CORNY using the Y from INJURY
Player two- CHAM using the C from CORNY
Player one- MALE using the M from CHAM
Player two- RAX under the ALE from MALE
Player one- WINO using the O from CORNY
Player two- WOE hooking the E on the W from WINO
Player one- NEW using the W from WOE
Player two- OD on top of the NE from NEW
Player one- STAT hooking the I from INJURY
Player two- ROVERS using the S from STAT
Player one- AR using the R in ROVERS
Player two- FAVE using the V in ROVERS
Player one- IFF using the F from FAVE
Player two- With the tiles P,E,U,A,J,M and B plays MARJONBEAUCHAMP down the number 1 Column for 531 points! That’s through 3 Triple Word Scores spots and uses the J on the Double Letter Score spot.
There are probably higher scoring plays by maximizing the other hooks used to support the MARJONBEAUCHAMP play. I did this by tinkering around on my scrabble board at home, but I think Marjon probably has the highest possible score, whatever that might be.
