Ramesses Nibblick III (or, alternatively, the long version: “Ramesses Nibblick III, Kerplunk-Kerplunk, Whoops Where’s My Thribble?” You’d have trouble fitting that on most forms, though.) Edmund Blackadder (I know it’s a fictional character’s name, but it could so easily be anyone’s real name that I don’t think it’s going to be an issue- especially if you live in the US. You could always spell it “Edmond” if you wanted to differentiate the name whilst keeping the same effect, too.) Sancho. (Just “Sancho”. Whenever someone asks you about this, you can simply say “I am Sancho. Are you Sancho? No, you are not Sancho. Only _I_ am Sancho.”) Lee (or Leigh) Enfield (Come on, it was too obvious for me not to mention! :D) Henry Winchester Spencer Springfield Thomas Sterling Lewis Gunn Earl Cambridge Benjamin Negotiable-Currency (“It’s pronounced ‘Cash’, just so you know”) Neville Eric Warne (N.E. Warne, “Anyone”… geddit? 😉 ) Wayne Kerr (not if you plan on visiting anywhere in the British Commonwealth, though…) Robert “Bob” Dobalina Tyler Durden. (How cool would it be to be able to introduce yourself as Tyler Durden?!) You know what will be really interesting? Seeing if any of the suggestions in this thread show up as new usernames in the near future… ---

You could go very P.G. Wodehouse with this, if you wanted. And your name would sound much more distinctive with a hyphen in it. How about: Featherstonehaugh Throckmorton-Knuegelson III (Pronounced “Fanshaw Thrumton-Nayson”) Aethelbert Spicklesby-Chatterbotham Oliver Tuesday Twistleham-Whipplesby Really, the possibilities are endless. Marvin O’Gravel Balloonface? Or, for something a bit more reasonable, with a Russian aristocratic flair: Oliver Closoff? ---
