What’s your favorite username(s) and why? For instance, I discovered **NotWithoutRage** a few minutes ago. That’s pretty neat I think. And **Speaker for the Dead** is cool too. **CrankyAsAnOldMan** must be mentioned as well. How bout you? ---

I acutally like **JustPlainBryan** … not because he’s my SO, or I know the story behind why he’s known as that, either. ---

I like **Lindy Hopper** because of the image it calls to mind. **Sir Rhosis** remains one of my all time favs and I recently discovered {b]Otto De Fe\*\*, which just cracks me up. ---

I can’t remember who, but someone said they loved my previous username, **bobevilsquid**. I ended up changing it though because I was tired of everyone automatically assuming I was a guy. ---

I’m a newbie and I just don’t know you dudes that well. But I have to say, that the name that gets the most double-takes from me is **ThatGuyWithPants**. Subtile, and stylish. Gotta love it. ---

**FireUnderpantsBoobs** is one of the great ones. I like **Czarcasm** , too - and not just because he’s a mod! My own is lame. I’m sorry about that. ---

**FireUnderPantsBoobs** is perhaps the greatest name ever. It works on so many levels. A close second is **iamthecowgodmoo**. I also rather like **Civil Defense**. Very retro. ---

I needed a name for [eeggs.com](http://eeggs.com), and EagleEye just seemed like a good one. However, of course, it isn’t original. I hope that someday I can think up a good original one. > [@](#): > > I acutally like JustPlainBryan… not because he’s my SO, or I know the story behind why he’s known as that, either. Believe it or not, Bryan is my name. I even spell it the same way. But I do find it hard to believe that he could be more plain than me. ---

I’m all for Searching For Truth. we don’t all have to like one another’s nicknames. i chose mine as i couldn’t get in with my original nickname (plain ol mistfit#57.) as i could never get it to work. so i made the kitty face i usually make on MSn when i’m bored. excuse the hell out of me, SFT, for ruining your experience as a SD boarder. mmm… forbidden donut is my vote for coolest handle. ---

christ on a stick, misfit, so he doesn’t like your username, why don’t you just start a pit thread and throw a rotten apple at him? :rolleyes: ---

I think **ARose** is a pretty durn cool user name. And a bunch of the Monty Python-inpsired names, just because they’re silly. Of course, the coolest use name of them all is **Steve Wright**. ---
