Gangrene Clitoris, a name that I have wholeheartedly recommended for years now when someone asks for new name suggestions. It’s still open should you want it, by the way. ---

Probably **Loathly Lady**. While I’m not an [old hag](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loathly_lady), sometimes I like to pretend I’m more clever than I actually am. And this is probably one of the few places where I hang out online that somebody would actually get it. ---

**Oliver Faltz,** probably. Other candidates: **Bartolomeo, Mustafa Reason, Tyrone Nott, Parker Buick,** and a new one that jumped into my head the other day, **Genius Out Of The Bottle.** ---

I’d just change the g for a j and go with **Antijen**. It’s what I was going for when I changed my name, but silly me typed it in with a g when making my request. Oh well. ---

I’d either go for: 1. **Jelaza Kazone** - I use that one quite a few other places, but started with it long after I’d signed up here. or 2. **Madcap Platypus** - You know how some sites will offer “alternate suggestions” if your first username choice is taken? I forget the name of the site, but this particular one offered a choice of “username\_choice1”, “firstname1” and “completely\_unrelated\_random\_suggestion”\* for each failed “username\_choice”, and “Madcap Platypus” was one of the random suggestions I got as I went through my preferred names. There were others, but that was the only one I remember. \*There were actually 5 actual suggestions (I think), 4 of which were based on your user names choice and actual name, one of which came completely out of the blue. ---

I was just thrilled to get my actual nickname. If I had to, maybe **Bhutan-ne** in honor of the coolest place I’ve been featuring wild dope growing on the roadsides. Or [Wookie Armor](http://www.wimp.com/armor/) just because this dude looks like my non-custodial cat. ---

Either **Sarah-Ann, Deputy** (but I’m not sure how much my life paralells my belief in fate) or another variation of my ‘fool’ favorites… right now, **peacefool** is the current choice I looooove. Also, I’ve always wanted something I could use on an extra email address just to annoy people like the Phelps. Urda1goin2hellnnotdem is a little week. 😛 ---

I wanted **lavenderviolet** but it was taken. I also like **$100 worth of Swedish food** in honor of the time DH’s grandmother gave us a $100 gift certificate for IKEA for Christmas. The gift certificate was for the food store. We love her but we nearly died laughing once we realized it wasn’t for the furniture. Trust me . . . there’s only so many ligonberries and meatballs someone can eat. 😃 ---

I want **Orion**. That’s been my alias for years in many forms, since it’s almost always taken before I get there. Failing that, I’d take **Josh Norton**. ---

I love my current name, but I’d probably try for something poker-related: my favorite idea so far is **Cracked Aces**. I also like **Wouldn’t You Like To Know** , but it’s a bit long. ---

I’ve never been creative when it comes to actually creating a username, but I did do an over night blues radio show where my name was **Rhett Dream** , I would like to find an appropriate place to use that name again. **Hank Olsen \*\*\* would be another name I would like to use here.

Hmmmmmmmmmm I keep a healthy list of pseudonyms handy, tho most are the result of chemically enhanced band name think tanks… but a few I’d use for this board include **Captain Trips Jehovah’s Eye Witness Somebody Buffer G. Overload** and a name I actually did record one very very bad song under (it was bad on purpose, I just wanted to use the name) **Enormous Genitals** ---

Actually, I’d just like to change it back to the original urban1. When these boards disintrigrated(sp), it became no longer available. Therefore, I added the boring ‘z’ to the end.
