There’s a few that I’d like: **Four-String Samurai** (a play on a movie I liked, _Six-Sting Samurai_, but I play bass), **Blood of Heroes** (a movie I really liked, and if I had a band that would be its name), or **Funk Pudding** (just cuz :)). ---

I’d be: \*\* Bad Panda LocaL Unpossible Ralph Wiggum Onomatopoetic\*\* I really like Onamatopeia, so that explains that one. And Bad Panda (aside from my superhero name), is a reference to my Panda suit, which I wore freshman year on halloween, and didn’t talk all day (because Panda’s can’t talk.) Unpossible is a ralph wiggum quote, my fav character on the simpsons. Hey, go check me out in the panda suit! It’s my link in my profile. Well, it’s the link to my moms webpage, but it has me on it! ---

Well, I could go with Beren, which I am on ICQ and used to be on IRC… but, I think, right now, I’d probably choose Anakha. Means ‘without destiny’. Brownie points will be given to those who can identify the book. ---

I wouldn’t…I’m **Medea’s Child** everywhere. In the distant past I have been **Valic’s Queen, Taudri** and **Forever** , and I’m developing an odd fondness for my pen name, **Venae**. Those are about the choices on my end though. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/if-you-had-to-pick-another-board-name-what/48211.md?page=2)
