Mason Steward Tyler

Dirk Diggler

Dekus the Destroyer.

OK had to get that out of the way, but Deke is a tough name.

Landon Donovan. He’s a soccer player, but if you’re American that shouldn’t be an issue.

Jack Cromwell.

Dallas Sullivan.

Michael Waverly, esq.

Sirius Black.

Jameson McGuinness.

Mick Bailey.

Cedric Alastair Whittaker III.

George Moses Run

Hale Abel Dakir

On a not-too serious level, I’d be honored if you took my Xbox Live user name.

It’s “Dixon Tufar”
On a more serious note, I recommend:
Brock Van Horst
Perry Griffin
Samuel Thames
Marcus Maxwell

Regardless of gender, one of these:

  1. Clem Kadiddlehopper,

  2. Rusty Naill; or

  3. Opal. Just Opal. No last name.

Art Deco

How about:

Rock Strongo
Lance Uppercut
Duncan MacLeod (of the Clan MacLeod)
Remington Steele
(Why, yes, Bobotheoptimist and Gleena’s suggestions did inspire both of those above)
Melvin Koren
Hugh Fitzcairn
Ukiah Oregon
Atticus Steele
Galen Elor
Irwin Maurice Fletcher
Nathanial Ostenhoffer II
Jonathan Doe
Marion Morrison
Xavier Roberts
Carlos Gunnarson

Tyrone Shoelaces
Remington Steele
Elwell Elwood
Big Dick McGirk
I can lick my eyebrows Smith
Duke ____ (not sure what to put for a last name, but Duke is a great first name)
The same with Rock, Chance, (hell pretty much any name John Wayne used in a movie)

Porgie Tirebiter. (He’s a spy and a girl delighter!)

Buster Hyman.

Buster Cherry

Phoenix Dark.

I think Bond James Bond (F/M/L) would be hilarious.

Harry Potter.

Henry Dresden.

Thor Mjollnir. Or just “Thor”.

Jesus H. Christ. (and the middle should just be the Initial)

Vladimir Alucard

Pen is Mightier.

or just:
Straight Dope

on a side note: Michael Hunt shortens to Mike Hunt, which when pronounced out loud… well, maybe you already go that part too

Bob Ballew

Randy Stinson

Don’t know why, but I’ve always liked the name ‘Randy’.

Charles Thorson

You should give a few clues; do you want to have a really unique name or just a nice solid one? Does it drive you nuts to have to spell your name all the time or do you like being singled out as different? Will this be on a business? Do you plan to have kids?

Seriously. Just let a cop try and write that in his ticket book. Plus, telemarketers will be entertaining when they try and ask to speak to you by name.

You, uh, might need a wider checkbook, though.

No? Okay. How about…

· A Fish. Not the initial A. Full, given-name A.
· Sir Name
· Prince Albert Innacan
· Steve Oh
· Qwerty Youyop

Or, y’know. Not.

My geek reflex: Gordon Freeman, Vincent Valentine, or Kal Radick (mechwarrior character). All great sounding names

Funny ones:
Jimmy James, Johnny Johnson, etc.

Serious ones:
Leon Marek
Roland Hendrik
Ross Kincaid
Victor Marcos
Jiro Hido (“Jeero Heedo”)
Ryo Takashi
Morgan Wallace
Joseph Jones -or- Joseph Zachary (hebrew names)
Tom Kovello
Richard Roccio (“Rich rocky-o”)

Alright. Off the top of my head:

Unique name is a plus.
Memorable name is a plus.
Easy to spell name is a plus.
funny-subtle is a plus.
Meaningful name is a plus.
name-that-will-help-me-get-laid is a plus :smiley:

But those are not conditions set in stone. If a name is awesome enough, none of those need apply.

No-nos:

funny-dumb (hugh jass and so forth)
weird alien names
trademarked names (james bond, harry potter)
women’s names

ps: How come NONE of you suggested Bob Vance?

Any new front-runners?

If we’re going to go into the world of secondary sit-com characters, how about Stefan Gentles?
