Hello everyone, My boyfriend wants to register and come into the wide world of Dope but hasn’t decided what his name should be yet. He is previously registered as DCnewsman and has posted two or three times. He doesn’t want to stick with that name. Anyway, I was wondering what the Teeming Millions thought would be a good name for him to go with. I will answer any questions regarding him but will let him do the specifics after he registers a new name. HUGS! Sqrl ---

Eric. (I picked it out of thousands.) or Burma! (Sorry, I panicked.) Apologies, my mind appears trapped in an MP gutter. ---

I think NutGatherer would be kinda cool. You squirrels gotta stick together, ya know? And I like the double meaning. ---

OOO. I like NutGatherer. SqrlFqr is alright too. He uses SqrlHub when he plays the chat ho in the straightdope room on MIRC but doesn’t want to use that one. Keep them coming. Dinsdale, I think there is a Burma registered here but am too lazy to do a search on the name. Eric is just a little too boring, but maybe he’ll like it. HUGS! Sqrl ---

Hmmmm, sticking with the news motif and also playing on one of your fetishes SqrlCub, how about **Lou Grant**? Or if we expand on Coldfire’s theme, **SqrlFlchr**. Of course, if he wants to be totally enigmatic, this would be a good one, **‡¿¶€¥?‡**. ---

Spoken as one who opted to use her own “identity” in selecting a username (despite all the DC peer pressure to the contrary–Satan), might I suggest something uniquely suiting him? Like…and this is just off the top of my head, but its the last thing he said when I saw him…Start-a-Thread. Or, what about “Marcus Words.” ---

**SqrlCtchr** cute **ChpMnk** also cute I like **NutGatherer**. That is _really_ cute. A good friend of mine is fond of saying “Cute doesn’t age well.”. I’d rather see something that uniquely describes _him_. (Just my 2 cents.) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/need-another-name/19862.md?page=2)
