I’ve always secretly loved **evilbeth** so  
**Chicken of Bristol** gets my vote.

IIRC that name’s already taken.  
I really like **slythe**.

In the classical vein how about **Hector** or **Achiles**.

The name **CoB** seems to be a good compromise since the full version doesn’t seem to be blowing your skirt up.

See, I can picture hot monkey sex with someone named _slythe_, but only [Scylla’s goat](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=33909) can picture that with someone named Chicken of Bristol.

It’s up to you, slythe…me or the goat?

Chicken of Bristol.

Classic.

You could always be a **Rodent of Unusual Size**. Is the **DreadPirateRoberts** taken? How 'bout **Autonomous Collective**? Or **European Swallow**?

I withdraw my earlier vote for “Slythe.” My new vote? **Chicken of Bristol**.

I’m surprised no one has suggested **Jack Dean Tyler** yet. 😃

Nah, better go with **Chicken of Bristol**.

Well, if I posted in the “Dopers I’d most like to do Naughty Thing X with” threads, evilbeth wouldn’t be feeling so neglected…but I like “Chicken of Bristol” anyway. That has my vote.

**Chicken of Bristol** is good, but I am also very fond of **the Black Beast of Caern-naar-naa_aaAAHH_** although I suppose that one is too long.

So I’lll te each half of my brain vote, one for staying **Slythe** and one for **CoB**

Punk snot dead…

I’m partial to both **Bacchus** and **Dionysus** as names, but **Chicken of Bristol** really has a certain . . . something.

or **Uncle Beer** ’s suggestion: **Omphalos**. It has a certain ring, kinda classy.

If **Chicken of Bristol** wins, someone else needs to change their name to **Brave Sir Robin** to nearly fight him.

Or **Sir Robin, the not-quite-so-brave-as- Sir-Lancelot,** though that’s kind of long.

On the OP, I fear I don’t feel I know you well enough to pick a name for you. It’s such a personal thing, after all.
