My vote is an homage to William Gibson:
“Chrome Koran”
Any other really cool new user names for the SDMB not yet taken?
sk8rixtx… oh wait.
Well for god sake, tell it to agisofia.
What betenoir said.
Zaphod Beeblebrox would be interesting. I have no idea where it comes from and I’ve never seen it except in Agisofia’s sig, but I like the sound of it.
Waaaah! JuanDeCuba. Zaphod Beeblebrox is from the “Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy”.
Well, as I said in *agisofia’s “new name” thread, I am quite partial to the Chicken of Bristol as a good Monty Python-themed name. But, hey, that’s just me!
Zaphod Beeblebrox is already taken, though.

So in the first 7 responses to my OP, we have only 1 unique suggestion, that of the pretty funny “Chicken of Bristol”, submitted by the lovely and charming evilbeth.
Come on guys - have all the really cool names already been taken?
If some little nymph named herself “ILuvCrunchyFrog” That’d be cool.
How about:
Frau Blucher
Captain Tuttle
Number 6
Feedlebaum
Kakafonous A. Discord
Patches
Barrington Womble
Salvor Hardin
I’m not sure about mine. I chose it when I saw I could be #10,000, and now I might want something more personal.
I’ve spotted a Newbie list and found these gems:
(I kind of like the long ones best.)
**Intriguing Question Mark
The Pit and The Pendulum
FairyChatMom
astrangefish
Under the Night Sky
Cogitoergosum
a young Morgan Fairchild
Sunup @ Cheerful
Bluemonchichi
It_is_to_laugh-Non
ChrisP One Kenobe
Crown Prince of Irony
CrankyAsAnOldMan
Max the Immortal
Bottle of Smoke
MattTheCroc
Blue Suede Shoes
**
That batch should start people on some different lines!
I wonder if **Coolest New User Name **is taken ?!
OK, dammit, that’s it. I’m hijacking this thread in a BIG way. Not only am I hijacking the thread, I’m hijacking all of the posts. Anybody having unused usernames to contribute should post them to this thread.
If anyone else posts to Anthracite’s thread instead of mine, I’ll eat this cute chocolate jack o’lantern. I mean it.
I’m sorry agisofia, I honestly did not even know your thread existed last night until after I posted this one. I continued this since I thought it could contain general names, that is, ones that are still cool but may not apply well to yourself.
If everyone wants this to die, then let it die.
Anthracite
Don’t you see agisofia is just looking for a way to rationalize eating the chocolate jack-o-lantern?
Rubyat
Erato
Hermes
The Last Unicorn
DragonFly
SphinxMoth
Some for starters; did not check if any are already in use. FWIW, I dove in with the first name that came to mind so I could post to Democritus’s thread about a spider in his bathroom.
How about Chocolate Jack O’Lantern?
I like
Fluffy Tortoise
slowly begins to peel the foil from the chocolate jack o’lantern
I’m warning you people…
Wilburforce
Throckmorton
Percival Snoodiewacker
Schnoogie
Mr. Squeekybobo
Ms. Squishydodo
