Oat Willie is a fictitious character from a drug paraphenalia / counterculture store bearing the same name, in Austin Texas. “Onward, through the fog!” Take it off the list of least original 🙂 ---

I nominate myself for least original. I would like to say my name is Emily and I was feeling creative, but it ain’t. Emilee is the way my name is spelled on my birth certificate, drivers licence, etc. My favorite is as\_u\_wish, because The Princess Bride is my favorite book ---

I’d like to add myself to the least creative list. It’s just my name with a twist. Ho hum! But that’s okay! (However, it _does_ irritate me at times when people respond to me as “Beth”–first of all, they completely take away any tiny amount of creativity and second of all, they CAPITALIZE it! It is lowercase on purpose! ---

MSK, Why am I on top? Um, I really have no say in what’s original and what’s not. I kind of go by a different standard of what’s original, so it’d be all screwed up, plus, um, I really don’t have a clue who besides the others that have been named to say. ---

Must explore this at some future time.) However, I really can’t take credit for any originality here: “DRY” is simply my initials (I actually put my full real name in, panicked, and asked the admins to change it to the first thing I could think of) :eek: So…it has nothing to do with my sense of humor, drinking habits, sex life or anything else. (Well, actually, it does have a lot to do with my sex life, but it’s all coincidence. Really.) ---

**John Corrado** said: > [@](#): > > I bet no one other poster here ever though of having the User Name “John Corrado”. Not true, John–I was going to use the screen name “John Corrado,” until I realized it had been taken. I’d be kind of annoyed with you if my name was either John or Corrado. For most creative name, I’m going to nominate someone I’m not even sure is here anymore: **BoogarheelCatastrophe** (I don’t guarantee that spelling). I never knew a thing about her (I think it was a her), and I don’t know what if anything that name comes from, but I have never been able to forget it. ---

> [@](#): > > (Note to self: good chance for sympathy here: “Ladies, make a real life loser feel better about himself.” Okay DRY, you better listen up. No more about this “loser” and “ugly” stuff. Looks are only a very small part of what makes a person beautiful. If you don’t knock it off, I’m gonna come over there and give you a lickin. Oh, and I would like to nominate **Diane** for most original name. By real name is **Beulah**. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Arnold Winkelried \* > \*\*Thank you Denbo. So, what’s “Denbo” supposed to be? \*\* It’s as unoriginal as you can get: my college nickname. We were sitting around watching an episode of _The Wonder Years_ in which the kids nicknamed each other Kevbo, Paulbo, etc. So we all started calling each other Denbo, Stevebo, Davebo, etc. Well…it made sense at the time (the beer helped). ---

Why thank you Gr8Kat. I posted to this thread solely in the hopes that someone would notice my brilliant name 😉 But really, I am not so sure a Japanese person would think it is original - it’s just a cutesy thing I call my cats. ---
