Okay - I propose a new game. The rules are simple: 1. Type a doper name. 2. The next poster takes the last letter of that name and types another doper name that starts with that letter. 3. If you repeat a name already used, you get the Wrath of Khan descended upon you and the game starts from the last unrepeated name. For example. 1. melodyharmonius 2. Surlychick 3. kneadtoknow The next doper name would have to start with “w” Make sense? Let’s see how far we can go without repeats! For hints, feel free to use the [Doper picture gallery](http://www.nouilles.info/sdpix). And if you haven’t done so already, feel free to submit your pic and be counted! In honor of the gallery, I’ll start with: _Arnold Winkelried_ ---

Hold up - last valid was **Asimovian**. **Simmerdown** was responding to the one **Ellen Cherry** deleted, evidently. _OpalCat_ and \*The Merchandise \*are still in play. Need a doper name that starts with “N” now, please 🙂 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-doper-name-game/525884.md?page=2)
