They deserve one, too! (And I can think of a few other bands that should follow them into the dark.)

(FWIW, I often wish I could steal _your_ username. It’s definitely one of those “Damn, I wish I’d thought of that first!” ones.)

**Scarlett Fever** would make a great name for a drag-queen.

My two favourite mondegreens would make amazing user names:

**Fish Islands  
Invisible Llama**

(Rush, and Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls, respectively.)

One I’ve been trying to get someone to take for years is **Crap Nelson**.

It sounds the name of a grizzled old beat reporter that wears a fedora, trench coat, chomps an unlit cigar all day and keeps a bottle of Scotch in his desk. When I worked in a newsroom, sometimes I’d pretend I was answering the phone “Crap Nelson!” or “This is Crap!”

It sounds like more of a nickname, though. How about **C. Rap “Crap” Nelson**? 😃

**mathemagician** stuck around for less than a week and posted 3 times. Too bad, such a waste of a good username.

1. Find a cultural, scientific, or geeky reference with two or three words.

2. Replace one of the words with something that rhymes, or with a similar root or rhythm. It’s better if it relates to a job, hobby, or personal interest.

3. Into beekeeping? Hi, Lord of the Stings! Network specialist? Hi, Lord of the Pings! Research Chinese antiquities? Hi, Lord of the Mings! Like both the Beatles and amphibians? Welcome Abbey Toad!

A few years back in [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=441182) I posted a bunch from Sifl & Olly, and from a fake commercial on SNL that listed fake band names appearing on the **Valentine** soundtrack. A few favorites:

**Gravel Fork  
Pi Eating Contest  
Mr. Hameye  
Jargon Scott  
Delixir Sorbaño  
The Breathing Salami**

But I think my overall favorite is **Dr. Armshoulder Shoozenshorts** , because it’s just so much fun to say.
