After watching _Thumb Wars_, the only name I’d pick is **Oobidoob Scooby-dooby Benubi**. It’s the silliest name in the galaxy!

Kitty 54th Street.

This is the old trope for your adult film name “first pet, plus street you grew up on.”

I remember that from _Will & Grace._ Karen’s was “Shu-Shu Fontana.” Jack’s was “Glen 123rd Street.” 😃

I’ll go with Sorgine (the same one I chose for that Halloween “change your name” thing) or Meiga. Both have the double meaning of “magic woman” and “magic stuff”, in Basque and Galego respectively. They’re exotic ways of saying Fae :).

Hi, I’m Fuzzy Maple.

Although I’d probably go with my [Captain Underpants Name Generator](https://www.cs.drexel.edu/~introcs/F2K/lectures/PoopyPants/) name **Loopy Hamsterlips.**

I think I would have to change my screen name to “Visionary Idealist”, as people keep seeming to confuse me with someone who accepts the status quo.

If that’s too extreme, I suppose I could go with “A weird formation of meat”, as that is fairly descriptive as well.

That is strangely brilliant.

Maybe I’ll go with **Arthur Jackson’s Second Shed**.

There’s an exit sign on I-70, west of Kansas City, that I know has inspired several RPG character names, and which also feels like it’d be a better name for a woman than for me:

Tonganoxie
