I’m named after my grandfather so I’ve adopted his given indian name, “Scabby Bear.” The reason is less than plesant but the Assiniboine called him that from the time he was a child until his death. ---

The last shall be first and the first shall be last. Unfortunately, the first were already first, so the last can’t be first, but they can also not be last, as long as people keep requesting names. So, uh, the first shall be first, and the second shall come next, and so on and so forth. I guess I can see why I’m not a prophet. **BraheSilver** , having read [Cecil’s column on Tycho Brahe’s gold and/or silver nose](http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a980717a.html), opted to go with the cheaper and more easily-found metal. Because of this, he was named _He Who Shops At Dollar Stores For Nose Prosthetics And Other Sundries_. **auRa** is _Randomly Capitalizes Letters_. **Serendipity** is _Lucky When He Never Expects It_. **sWitchazel** , a fast learner, is _Doesn’t Call lno Ino Any More And Is Adored For It_. **Rasa** , you know I love you, but you have to be named _She Who Keeps Casting Frozen Orb And Fire Wall On The Barbarian Who’s Helping Her Out_. And you wonder why ChunkyBeefStew hasn’t been seen on US East lately … **Belrix** is _Never Too Late To Get In On A Good Thing_. **VDarlin** , though the name recalls a darling of VD, is actually known as _Not Responsible In Any Way For Painful Burning Sensations_. **The Mermaid** , due to her medical training, is _She Who Will Ensure That We Don’t Die_. **Lissla Lissar** , yer welcome. Sadly, I do not speak much Ojibway, but I have translated your name from their language. You are _Belly-Dances With Dopers_. Word spreads quickly. **Smashed Ice Cream** is _He Who Crashed The Ice Cream Truck And Is No Longer Allowed To Drive_. **hardygrrl** , obviously, is _She Who Adores Jeff Hardy, And Not In That Way, But In THAT Way, No, No, **THAT** Way_. **ultrafilter** , after acting as a translator between the Apache and French (just go with it - I swear they were in close contact), was named _Filterer Of Languages, Better Than Babelfish 'Cos That Always Gets It Wrong Anyway_. **CelticCowboy** , after screaming that it’s a hard C, and not soft as in Boston Celtics, resigned himself to his fate. He is _He Who Can’t Get A Break_. ---
