I thought it might be nice to list any good humourus usernames you have thought up.

I’ve been seriously considering changing mine to either:  
Hans Delbruck  
or  
Rollo Tomasi

Haven’t noticed that anyone’s used these yet.

I’ve thought about changing my user name as well. I have a great one in mind, so no way I’m sharing it here. Someone’ll steal it!

I initially toyed with the idea of calling myself Heywood Jablomey (fans of _Six Feet Under_ know where I got it), but thought better of it. Didn’t want to get banned my first day.

Oh, cool! I want to change mine, but not until I get a good idea. This will give me some ideas.

**Nibbling Duck of Death**? I haven’t heard that one before.

Heywood Jablome is a much older joke than that.

If I ever changed my username, I think I’d go with **OverUnderThunderDunk**. I don’t really know why.

The last time this came up, I suggested **Misfit Toy**.

But then again, I watch the Rankin-Bass _Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer_ at least once a week.

I’m surprised no-one’s took up some variation of the Vimes name.

I would ask for it myself, but I’m a vain bastard and fear changing my name would make people forget who I am.

That’s very nice.

Ok, everyone back out of the thread slowly. No sudden movements.

OK, I guess that I should have mentioned that I have a 3 1/2 year old?

Yes, that might have helped. But now I’m already scared of you and it will take a while to go away.

I have used click here in other forums. One mod made me change my username, it kept confusing him.
