The hamsters ate my list last night. I wrote down the ones I could remember. I checked them all against the in-use list. Amatalia Watt Talia Watt Ophelia Fracture Ophelia Squish Lobelia T Madame Ow (a pun on Madame Mao) Anita Nothershot’ Arya Hurt Canya Bleevit (Canya, without a last name, is in use) I had a few more, but they are buried in the rubble of last night’s crash. ---

(Just to be clear, you are looking for an individual name, right? Not a team name…) Glancing through your list, I have to admit I like **Amiee T. Vilhorror**. Ideas in that vein: **“Texas” Jane Zawmassiker** , **Dawn Ovdaded** , **Freida DiTherteenth the 3rd**. Celeb ideas: **Whompie Coldberg, Grindeth Ballsslow** (may be more frightening to men), **Kate Throatslit**. (I also liked from your list: **Kelly Rippa-Niplov** and **the Dolly Trauma** ) Non- Celeb name: **Connie Poundfracture** And if you have a dog for a mascot, get a collie and name it: **Lassie Rayshun** ---

Wow – thanks for the suggestions, everyone! I REALLY like a couple of these, but if anyone wants to come up with one based on my name, it’s rae (rachel also works). Seems like it would be easier, but everyone’s already got the good ones… ---
