A little pink dragon, huh? That’s certainly a new one. 🙂 I’m almost afraid to ask what it means… [sub]Psst! **Sue Duhnym**! If it makes you feel better, I always have to check and make sure that I include the “h” in your name. For some reason, I tend to forget that particular letter.[/sub] ---

The name just conjures up that image…a gentle pink dragon with wings. Maybe I need to change my dosage. 😃 ---

I think my favorite names are the ones oldscratch mentioned on his stupid names thread: weapons grade bullonium RepurposedNuclearNosecone I’m gona bulk up on fonts There’s no accounting for taste, I guess. Plus I have to give kudos to the user who got the name Cecil Adams. That’s a great catch. 🙂 ---

Going to have to agree with **Purd Werfect** and **Serendipity** **Sue Duhnym** is one of the best. It took me forever to get the joke though. I’m a bit slow. I also like **Anthracite** , **Crunchy Frog** , and **Zenster** Oh, and FTR, Serendipity was in fact pink Loch Ness like sea creature (IIRC). I used to live for that show when I was a wee gipper. I even remember part of the theme song: Serendipity-do Serendipity-dee No one cares like my friend Serendipity… Ahh, the memories… ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Sue Duhnym \* > **The name just conjures up that image…a gentle pink dragon with wings.** I get the same image from **Serendipity**. Probably because I had a book when I was a small child, actually entitled _Serendipity_, that was, if I remember correctly, about a pink dragon. There was a series of books-they included _Leo the Lop_, another of my favorites that I believe were called Serendipity books. As far as names… I really like **BornDodgy** and **CrunchyFrog**. They amuse me, and I suppose I’m easily amused. ---

Gawd, this is embarassing, but I **just** got what Sue’s screen name meant!! I guess this would be understandable if this were post number 10 for me or something. I guess I was struck by her beauty and never thought about the name! (Oh yeah, I’ve seen the pictures!:D) ::Sheepishly runs away:: ---

Two more votes for **Sue Dunhym** (and gee, you ARE a looker, Sue) and **Spiny Norman** (and gee, you ARE a… no, wait, that’s no good.) I like them because they’re jokes - in one case a pun, in the other a classical reference - but they sound like actual names. Also good: HAMADRYAD - I dunno why, I just like the flow of the word SPOOFE BO DIDDLY NACHO4SARA - because I totally understand the sentiment ---

I think the best names (in no particular order) are slythe, TVeblen, Eutychus55, UncleBeer, Coldfire, manhattan, Chronos, David B, Gaudere, Lynn Bodoni, TubaDiva, Arnold Winkelried, CK Dexter Haven, Alphagene, and John Corrado. ---

Okay, I couldn’t resist that. I really think the best names are: Fairy Princess Kitty Gazoo Duck Duck Goose Badtz Maru (I don’t know if it is a reference to something, I just like the way it sounds.) ---

**Wonko the Sane** makes me giggle like a 12 year old. **Purd Werfect** is funny too. **Coldfire** …not because the name is hilarious…but the poster behind the name is a treat to read…seems like someone I’d want to meet. ---

My favorites are **Jonathan Chance** , even though I am not really much of a styx fan, and **C.K. Dexter Haven**. I just think both names roll of the tongue. ---
