Either **Tad Cooper** , or **The Fake McCoy**.

Or I’d stick with the Demon Princes theme and go by **Alusz Iphigenia Eperje-Tokay**.

I think, in a thread a couple years ago,

**Bababadalgharaghtakamminarronnkonnbronntonnerronntuonnthunntrovarrhounawnskawntoohoohoordenenthurnuk**

was mentioned as a hypothetical possibility.

(The context then was names that one-shot drive-by spammers might use.)

**The Grounds at Pemberley**

All of Jane Austen is vaguely comedic, I’m told, but I took it very seriously. The only joke I got was the only real joke broad enough for me to get:

\*"Will you tell me how long you have loved him?’’

"It has been coming on so gradually, that I hardly know when it began. But I believe I must date it from my first seeing his beautiful grounds at Pemberley.’’

Another intreaty that she would be serious, however, produced the desired effect; and she soon satisfied Jane by her solemn assurances of attachment.\*

My new name is **Surely**.

I am serious. And don’t call me Shirley!

**Trump Tower Wiretapper**

then I’d get sick of it after a couple of days, and get it changed to **InkyAndClyde**.

Go with **Czarcasm-**. The rules only state that it can’t be a variant on your old name.

Hmmm  
First choices would be,  
\*\*A. Hornymousse Johnson

Sparkly Tree Topper

Three Trees Jones  
\*\*

Second choices  
\*\*Darth Ursus Theodorus

A Thane Called Ted

Frank\*\*

I’ve taken the liberty of giving myself several primary and secondary choices, just in case.
