I registered before **Marley** did, but for some reason I didn’t use just my name. There’s at least one other poster with a handle ending in “23,” but I can’t think of who.

There are also several people here with Groucho Marx-related names.

Well, **DesertDog** would certainly be a relation.  
Then there’s these coyotes;  
Coyote  
The Peyote Coyote  
Space Coyote  
Wile E Coyote  
SisterCoyote  
CoyoteFish  
LabyrinthCoyote  
Coyote tracker  
Don Coyote  
CoyotePete  
Wile E. Coyote  
Rabid Coyote  
usscoyote  
coyote399

but **SisterCoyote** seems to be the only one of the bunch that has been active recently.

Many moons ago someone registered as Alice in Wonderland (as opposed to alice\_in\_wonderland) - I can’t remember what she changed her name to (my bad), but I suppose we’re step sisters or something.

Just out of curiosity, how are you guys searching the members to find these names?

Users with “Aphrodite” in theis names: \*\*mightyaphrodite \*\*or \*\*APHRODITE \*\*or **dancingaphrodite**

And you have some foreign relatives, too…  
Users with “Venus” in their names (edited for relevance):  
\*\*Venus \*\*or \*\*childofvenus \*\*or \*\*VenusGirlTrap \*\*or \*\*VenusGirl \*\*or \*\*venus13 \*\*or **Venus, Goddess of Love**

… You are not alone 🙂

I kinda think that **Go you big red fire engine** , **You with the face** , **Never have I because I…** , and other people with random long names could probably all be distant cousins.

Mine would definitely be **foolsguinea**. Us dupes gotta stay together, although they gots all the money. (Or pigs.)

And of course I wonder if there is an extended ‘ful’ family out there. If so, I tip my hat to y’all.

Well, let me introduce you to [AThingWithFeathers](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php?find=lastposter&t=347897)!

Many of the “sterns” in user names come from such words as _Western_, but my “family tree” may include **Guildenstern** , **stern6116** , **Vonsternberg** , **[samstern@samstern.net](mailto:samstern@samstern.net)**, and **jmstern**. I’m apparently the only “vogel”, but since the second half of my screen name is German for _bird_, it’s possible that such **Dopers** as **Snowbird** and **FlightlessBird** Anglicized the family name upon arrival at Ellis Island, Botany Bay, or wherever. Similarly, “stern” is German for _star_, which potentially links me to the stellar **Starguard** , **moonstarssun** , _et alii_. Perhaps my closest “relatives” are **KiwiStar21** and **QueenRavenStar**.

Among _active, registered users_, the pig posse appears to be limited to myself, **PigBoy, Pigs in Space, whistlepig, tiltypig** , and **badbadrubberpiggy**. (I can’t type that last one without giggling.)

Myself and **EddyTeddyFreddy** are the only active Freddies, although a guest once posted as **Freddy FuFu**.
