I really like the names **SPOOFE Bo Diddly** , **Slithy Tove** , and **TubaDiva**. ---

I’m submitting **Sue Duhnym** yet again, just so I can get the spelling right. And any name with Nipples in it, such as that sported by **Jimmy Nipples** , is cool beyond compare. ---

…so i’ll throw these ones in instead: Woodstock Birdy Bird Trout Mask Replica and seconds for: iamthecowgodmoo SPOOFE Bo Diddly i guess i just like long weird names. ---

I daresay that Simon Ate A Pieman would be even more interesting than Simon Met A Pieman. I would certainly be curious for an explanation (“Well, my name’s Simon, and I ate this guy … he was delicious!”). ---

Wow, THREE people already mentioned my moniker! And here I was gonna come in and make a wiseass remark about “I really like the name SPOOFE Bo Diddly”… Ah, well… For some reasons, I’ve always liked **Kilgore Trout** , just for the obscure _Breath of Fire_ reference. And, as always, Unclebeer’s nickname, **UnclePee** , makes me laugh my ass off all the damn time. And I second (third? Fourth? Fifth?) **Purd Werfect**. The instant I noticed that name (months ago), it struck me as extremely humorous. ---

a new one: **GW’s Evil YOUNGER Sister** (I particularly like the emphasis on “YOUNGER”) I also nominate **tatertot** and **hypergirl** , two names that just seem to fit them so perfectly. …and I second **CrunchyFrog** ---

I’m kind of partial to \*\* Spider Woman\*\* It kind of walks the line between evoking a a superheroine who web-slings through the city fighting for truth, justice and the American way and calling to mind a dark, sinister, predatory type of femininity. I love it. ---
