Well **Kilgore** , I don’t think yours is all that unoriginal though I suspect there are a lot of Vonnegut fans around here. But I think your sig is a great deal more obscure (though I know where it’s from) And **Denbo** thanks. I’m going to go with my instincts that tell me there was no sarcasm or facetiousness in your statement (while ignoring all evidence to the contrary). ---

I don’t need to tell you that you are right, **Nekochan**. And I don’t exactly know what villain on the front page is. An orc did cross my mind. MR ---

I like: **ssskuggiii** - You can say it and clear your throat at the same time! \*\*iampunha Coldfire\*\* - The whole contradictiveness (Is that a word? :D) of it all just makes it cool. \*\*Bear\_Nenno SwimmingRiddles three bunny mama Trout Mask Replica Cogitoergosum ## SPOOFE Bo Diddly\*\* There are quite a few good aliases here, these just came off the top of my head. The ones I generally do not like are corruptions of words that don’t normally make it past vulgarity filters. Like FlatUlance and Jaque Kinghoff, as **Magical Silver Key** says. ---

I think that my username sucks, quite frankly. “Gretchen” was my nickname in school and I couldn’t think of anything else when I registered. So here’s a vote for “Miss Gretchen” in least original. I think that I need a new username. ---

Sorry, but I don’t think **Trout Mask Replica** is too original for the same reason **Zaphod Beeblebrox** isn’t. They were culled from works of literature and music, and are not original creations. On the other hand… **JimmyNipples** and **Pump-Action Gerbil** are two of the funniest I’ve seen. The first time I saw **JimmyNipples** I couldn’t stop laughing. I also like **kellibelli**. ---

Most original first: \*\* Canthearya, ShirleyUjest, Ayesha, Byzantine, Stevie RaveOn, Mega the Roo, Doobieous, Mullinator, Milossarian, dropzone, Hamadryad, DRY, Pepperlandgirl, waterj2, Gr8Kat, and Dark Wing Duck. \*\* Least original: Anti Pro (make up your mind!) ---

Of course, my handle is unoriginal, but the other day I thought of a great alternative. My husband calls me “Boo Boo” - If I had it to do over again, I would style myself **Boo Boo Fett**. ---

Mine is not particularly original. Not entirely unoriginal either. For good ones. Notthemama, mega the roo, Doobieous, Imthecowgodmoo, tiny cow. ---

Wow, I was mentioned on a list 🙂 Unfortunately, the name ain’t that original. For the record, I was signing my artwork “Great Kat” long before I heard of the self-proclaimed violinist/guitar virtuoso speed metal shocker [Great Kat](http://www.greatkat.com/), but I doubt I could prove it in a court of law. There are lots of user names that incorporate Kat, Cat, Kitten, etc., but I think Nekochan is the most original 🙂 Imthecowgodmoo has always made me smile 🙂 Canthearya is another favorite, and so is three bunny mama. To be brutally honest, I liked Notthemama better than Duck Duck Goose. It flows better, IMO. But both are original 🙂 ---

Thanks Lizard 😃 I think JimmyNipples is the most compelling new name I have seen in ages. Its sexual, but not in-your-face sexual. It makes me think about his nipples… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/usernames-vote-most-least-original/29594.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/usernames-vote-most-least-original/29594.md?page=3)
