Nah, I don’t go for the pun-based ones. I really liked **universe.zip** , though. Seems very Doperish. ---

I like your name, **Hippos**! Actually, in your butterfly thread I almost posted asking you how you got _your_ name but then I figured it was more appropriate here…so…how? ---

I like **Der Trihs**. It’s got the pseudo-german, concealing a reversal of what I presume is a Trek reference. Works for me. That said, my own dopername always makes me smile, which is good, cause I see it a lot. ---

> [@](#): > > I like your name, Hippos! Actually, in your butterfly thread I almost posted asking you how you got _your_ name but then I figured it was more appropriate here…so…how? Yay thank you! hmm how I got my name? I’m not totally sure. My real name is Rose and so I was thinking of something along the lines of gardens and roses but decided that was boring. I am definitely not boring and wanted my username to reflect that, and so tried to think of the most random thing ever. I had just come back from Africa where we did have hippos wandering through the garden-and so it all came from that! ---

Seconding **Czarcasm** , **ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies** and **Hippos**. I also like **Doomtrain** , although she (?) hasn’t been here in years. **whuckfistle** was a great name, and **FireUnderpantsBoobs** was maybe the funniest handle we ever had here. ---

[We had one of these in March](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=9575539). So I will repost those as they are still true. I like \*\*Elendil’s Heir \*\*but I am a Tolkien Fanatic. \*\*Qadgop the Mercotan \*\*as I am a rare E.E. “Doc” Smith fan. **twickster** : Makes me think of the Native American Coyote or Bugs Bunny and it turns out that Bugs was her partial inspiration (IRC) **Ellis Dee** : The username made me laugh the first time I saw it. I’ll add **WhyNot**. Her name is often the perfect answer to the titles of threads she posts in and whenever that happens it makes me giggle to myself. I saw the Op’s name for the first time today, **I Have Hippos In My Garden** , it made me smile immediately and then he/she goes and starts this thread. Perfect timing! I tend to like any of the Tolkien oriented names I see. \*\*Frodo \*\*has recently returned. **athelas** , \*\*Maeglin \*\*and his “Impaled on a Spear” location. **ShadowFacts** , \*\*Telperien \*\* & **well he’s back**. ---
