My all-time favorite names, in no particular order, are: [ul] [li] **Chrome Toaster** [/li]In fact, on all of my computers, the icon for My Computer is a 50’s style chrome toaster, and is renamed to-you guessed it-Chrome Toaster. [li] **Neuro-Trash Grrl** [/li]This name rocks, literally, as every awesome post she makes is backed, in my mind at least, by _Living Dead Girl_, Rob Zombie. I love that song. [li] **Coldfire** [/li]This is just one of those cool names. It helps that the guy behind it is cool, too. In any case, ever since both SDMB Legion of DOOM threads, I can’t get the association between this name and a slick high-profile corporate lawyer out of my head. [li] **High-tech Burrito** [/li]This handle speaks for itself. [li] **smackfu** [/li]This name is cool because I imagine it being “smackfui”. In any case, it sounds like something the dopers do to ignorance. We are all trained in the arts of Smack Fu. [li] **imthecowgodmoo** [/li]Once again, this handle speaks for itself. [li] **Swimming Riddles** [/li]Sort of school house rock on acid type of name, this one sticks in my mind like an ice pick wielded by a psychotic letter F. [li] **ChrisP One Kenobe** [/li]Along Obi One Cajone, this play off of Obi Wan Kenobe makes me laugh long and loud, as do some of the posts that follow it. [li] **DeathLlama** [/li]Llamas are very cool, and one of my favorite phrases is stolen from Winamp: “It really whips the llamma’s ass.” [li] **Drain Bead** [/li]Again, it just speaks for itself. If only we could convince Satan to rename himself to “Dain Bramage”. [li] **FreakFreely** [/li]I can imagine being on an airplane in world in which this doper lives, and hearing “_boing!_ Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking,” \ “Feel Free to Freak Freely about the cabin.” [li] **Doobieous** [/li]You know, normally I don’t like puns, but this is a really good play on words. [li] **Mega the Roo** [/li]I know it sounds like a pokemon name, but I rather like it. [li] **RealityChuck** [/li]I don’t know what it is about this one that makes me like it so much. But I do. [/ul] And that’s all. For now. ---

I can’t believe no one’s mentioned **Shirley Ujest** yet. The very first time I looked at these boards, there was a thread started by her (I had **no** idea what this site was about at that time) and as I read her name I about pissed my panties. I knew then that this was a great place. I also like many of those already listed, but will give another mention to **CrankyAsAnOldMan** because it’s just so funny. ---

Whoooooo HOOOOOOOO I am actually mentioned in a popularity poll! I am so excited I just may dust off the old tiara and ball gown. Makes me glad I didn’t pick something like: Wandering Hedgehog. (Which I just made up and sounds pretty cool.) Some of my favorite names have been mentioned here, but there was one who posted and haven’t seen around ( I’ve been a little busy lately) : \*\*Blinking Duck \*\* I just think that is such a cool name. I think of a duck sitting before the computer. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/best-names-on-the-boards/49053.md?page=3)
