Completely, madly, all about **sporklift driver**. And, yes, **«Ðëëp¤F®ïêd»™** is the only Doper with crazy characters I ever remember. He just goes all out, y’know? **Tenar** , isn’t your name from LeGuin’s _Earthsea_? I’ve always liked it! (Your name, as well as the books, of course.) ---

I like **pirate captain**. I think it’s clever! But then I’m easily impressed. Only problem – the symbol for pi is a special character that won’t copy-paste, so everyone will be mispelling your name from now till domesday. ---

**Sporklift the PiHole**! It’ll be great! Kind of gives the air of great names, like **Diogenes the Cynic** , or … wait… Anways. Yes, **Sproklift the PiHole**. It’ll be great. ---

I think if you’re going to go with a realultimatepower username, you should use **ninjas are mammals**. ---

Funny; I thought **tim314** was a Bible reference (clearly I never looked it up; 1Tim 3:14 says: “_Although I hope to come to you soon, I am writing you these instructions so that,_” - 2Tim 3:14 is a tiny bit more inspiring, saying: “_But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it,_”). I like **sporklift** - the other suggestions mostly suck. I can let you have **Toast Museum** or **But I Didn’t Inhale** at a very reasonable rate, if you’re interested… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/should-i-change-my-username-and-do-you-like-these-ideas/279049.md?page=1)
