BratMan007 now bores me. I need a new name. I’ve thought about getting a new name for a while now, but can’t think of anything that I really like. So of course, I turn to the Teeming Millions. Toss out some ideas, and I’ll choose the one I like best. And no **iampuhna** if you read this, I’ll not be using anyone name with the words “Boo-Boo” or “Bratsheep” in it. 😛 ---

Val Con yos’Phelium? Retruance Constable? Kusac Aldatan? Kaid Tallinu? Long-Drink McGonnigle? Vlad Taltos? Lucien LaCroix? Javier Vachon? The Wizard Himaggery? Irwin Maurice Fletcher? Francis Xavier Flynn? Interesting, but a bit long. I don’t think any of them really seem to fit me, either. However, you have given me a thought I hadn’t had before - making up or taking a name from somewhere. I had been thinking more along the lines of one-word things, but you’ve expanded my options with those. Thanks. The constable one reminded me of Constable Pan-Am. Maybe I’ll go with a Monty Python related something. Crunchy Frog maybe. Or was it Crunchy Toad? ---

OK, here’s a list of possibilities so far, all taken from Monty Python: Constable Pan-Am Dennis Moore Crunchy Frog Tim the Enchanter Knight of Ni Mr. Creosote Man With Three Buttocks Anyone else have anything for me? Thanks to Anit-Pro for mentioning Python and Kat who reminded me of Constable Pan-Am. I am definitely taking something from Monty Python unless someone suggests something I like better. ---

OK, I’ve narrowed it down even further. It’s now between Crunchy Frog and Chicken of Bristol. Eric the Fish and Eric the Half-a-Bee are tied for a distant third. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/its-time-for-a-change/32617.md?page=2)
