My vote is an homage to William Gibson: “Chrome Koran” Any other really cool new user names for the SDMB not yet taken? ---

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](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php?action=getinfo&username=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? ---

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.

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](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=41418). If anyone else posts to Anthracite’s thread instead of mine, I’ll eat this cute chocolate jack o’lantern. I mean it. ---

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. ---

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. ---
