Can you think of Dopers who, just from their name (or perhaps sig), you can think of a perfect “screen name” (or whatever the appropriate term is for these crazy names we give ourselves) for their soulmate?
**Eve** , for instance, appears to have given up on mankind, but if she ever finds the one, he ought to be named **Adam**.
**Tiburon** ’s soulmate might be called **Chrissie Watkins** - at least one famous _tiburón_ found Chrissie quite delectable. (Yes, I know, I’m awful).
**Collounsbury** ’s one true love would be most aptly named **cheezgirl**.
**Montfort** ’s already taken, but we could convince **Anniz** to take the nickname **Simona.** (Get it? Simon de Montfort? Oh, never mind).
**Anthracite** would surely swoon at the arrival on the board of **Coal Miner’s Daughter**.
I believe **Sue Duhnym** is taken too, but her husband could adopt the screen name **Anton Nym** ,
**Maeglin** should surely fall in love at first glance with any Doper named **Idril**.
**Danimal**. . . ah, inspiration fails to strike, but surely my fellow Dopers can invent an appropriate name.
Please have fun and play nice 🙂

The coal miner’s daughter’s name was **Fierra** , I’m surprised you didn’t know. 😃

GAH! That’s perfect, and I how I shall refer to him from now on.
**Sofa King** renamed ToddlerNym Syno Nym (maybe Cyn O. Nym would be better) the other day, which I’m also adopting.
You both shall be honored in my sig.
As for you, **Danamal**.

I’m tickled pink, **Sue**! Thank you!
Thanks for the recommendation, **dentarthurdent.** Unfortunately, since I am a straight male, **manimal** might not be ideal for me. But I admit I did say “just from their name”; I was trying to take orientation into account where I knew it, but I didn’t make it mandatory.

Oh no, thank YOU!
Anyway, I though of another besides Danamal…Dameimal.

I’m not sure if **aha** would be better paired with **founja** or **ono**.

Incidentally, it might be problematic if a woman named **Trillian** were to arrive on these boards, because **dentarthurdent** and **Zaphod Beeblebrox** would be fighting over her! 😉

I admit, **Danimal** , that the first thing that I thought of for your SO was **Mammal** , though I’m not sure quite why. Maybe **Danifemale**? Perhaps **Janimal** is more to your liking. If she really likes you, she can be your **Fanimal**.

Actually there is a **Trillian**
[Here’s](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=80663) a thread she started. But as far as I can tell, no **Fenchurch** as of yet.
Ya know **Danimal** this thread has almost made me want to change my name to **Turbo Kitty** for my hubby but that would be just too damned cutesy for my taste.

Nah, we’re saving related-to-de Montfort names for our kids, but thanks. 🙂

**Janimal**. . . I like it. If I have a Secret Admirer lurking out there somewhere, now she knows what to call herself.

My one true love would have the screen name…

I think when your name is flup you can count on having no soulmate.

_This_ Maeglin has the benefit of knowing that if that happens, I am gonna get killed.
Elven woman, stay away from me…

Actually, I don’t see Danimal as the settling down type…
Perhaps a fun menage-a-trois with **D’vegetable** and **D’mineral**? 😃
Then there’s **thinksnow** , who longs for someone as pure and sweet as our dear **BunnyGirl**. Perhaps think needs a **SnowBunny**?
And **Sue** , if Syno Nym ever decides to “play for the other team”, just change the name to **Homo Nym** …
:d&r: 😃
PS - still working on **flup** …

Okay…
For **Czarcasm** , along comes **Cindycism**.
**UncleBeer** , of course, falls madly for **AuntyLager**.
**CrankyAsAnOldMan** finds her true love in the studly **BitchyAsAnOldWoman**.
**Hastur** finds his mate when **Nyarlathotep** appears from the depths of net-space.
**Lucky Charms** is swept off his feet by the advent of cute young **Sugar Pops**.
**Sofa King** is of course bowled over by **Love Seat**.
**Doobieous** meets **Indoobitable** , for a long, happy, but contentious relationship.
**chique** meets **ghai** , and in time, they may have a **bhebie**.
I do go on, don’t I?
