How gratifying to turn up on some people’s lists! thanks! I fear I cannot try to create a complete list, because I keep running across new ones i admire, and I’d surely forget some, too. But I do have to say that threebunnymama is a name I just love. I get a warm fuzzy feeling every time I see it. ---

I add myself to the unoriginal and/or gibberish name list, BTW. And I’d add one vote to eniloraC, simply because it took me a ridiculously long time to realize what it was derived from, and I know her IRL! 😛 ---

**Ukulele Ike** : wonderful mental image, tough to spell **CKDexHavn** : reminds me of a grafitti tag in an odd way **Mary Hart’s Legs** : Not that I’m terribly fond of the _poster_, but it is a great name and, from that Newbie link: **a young Morgan Fairchild** **S or L** : don’t know what it means, but it’s intriguing sad things: posters with underscores in their names. C’mon, DOS is dead. Embrace the space! And use capital letters, too! My name, of course, is in the Nirvana of the middle ground: too boring to be truly memorable, too badly spelled to be forgotten. And how about a list of all of the posters who are claiming to be someone else’s fictional character? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by evilbeth \* > \*\*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!

I wasn’t sure if you were an evil Beth or Elizabeth with a twist. Thx for clearing that up. ---

Hmpf. Not even mentioned in the hideously boring lists. I _would_ have been happy to come up with something more creative if I’d known what a postive BADGE of a creative and intelligent mind it is around here. However, after reading the Cecil columns for many moons, one day I saw there were message boards and registered! I didn’t even read them first. (“Oh what a bold one she is,” they all gasped.) Anyway, Ellen truly is my name. If I had to do it all over again, I’d probably come back as Camembert. ---
