Since the topic of name changes seems to be floating around, this is a thread where people who are happy with their names (or at least not planning to change) make available good username ideas for people considering name changes and prospect noobs.

\*\*Pierian Sipper \*\* is a great name (for someone like me, at least).

Actually, I am surprised there are no usernames (that I can think of) that refer to the Pierian Springs.

Any good usernames you want to suggest?

_The Pierian Spring_ was the name of my high school literary annual.

I’m surprised there aren’t more _Simpsons_-based user names.

I’ve been trying to sell it for ages. I have a somewhat successful track record in this respect - **Birefringence** and **Atomic Badger Racing** (where are they now?) both chose their names from my catalogue. My prices are quite reasonable.

**Toast Museum** is something my brother-in-law reportedly uttered in his sleep once, and it stuck with me.

I maintain a little list of cute names that come up here and there:

**Armond Tamzerian** Location: Springfield  
**Spider Pig** Location: Springfield  
**Islamic Rage Boy™** Location: Srinagar, India  
**Bat Boy** Location: Unemployed  
**Niles Bitchly** Location: Behind Rodney  
**Oscar, Kitty of Doom** Location: In Bed with You  
**5,000 Year-Old Man** (And post entirely in character)  
**FDNY Commissioner Scoppetta** Location:NY  
**Double Nose Andean Tiger Hound** Location: Bolivia  
**Leisure Spacesuit Larry** Location: Mudd  
**String Monkey** Location: Dog River, SK  
and of course …  
**Bacon Salt**

I have no idea who FDNY Commissioner Scoppett is or why he made the list.

“Originally Posted by” or “whoever posted this before” would be great names for people who get quoted a lot.
