Currently running on the comic strip _[Peanuts](http://www.chron.com/apps/comics/showComic.mpl?date=2010/10/16&name=Peanutsb)_, Charles Schulz has introduced a character named “5” So my question to you all, is if you had to pick a number (or group of numbers) to replace your name, what woud they be? [Note: please make sure you’re not using any password of yours in your answer. This forum does get indexed and you never know :)] I would pick “8” as my first name and “748” as my last name ---

**Attacklad** was in school with a kid named “Seven”. They let him have the numeral “7” in gym. 54-46 was my number. ---

I would be π, but you can call me 3.14 for short. Either that or _i_. Anyway, not to hijack the thread, but besides the Peanuts thing, what fictional characters have numbers as names? House has Thirteen, there is Seven of Nine… any others? ---

House has Thirteen, there is Seven of Nine… any others? The kid (who was later revealed to have been the result of a dream due to Katy Sagal’s miscarriage) from Married with Children was named Seven. ---

Chad Ochocinco made this fashionable a few years ago. But only for himself. In a similar vein, “TAFKAP” was pretty much a failure. ---

That strip’s got to be thirty years old, at least. Heaven help me, I think I even remember his full name, 555 95472. I’ll have to give some thought to my number. Don’t want to slip up and accidentally give out my PIN. ---

5455 Anyone who knows my real name should be able to figure it out pretty easily (And no, I don’t use that as a PIN anywhere for anything. I wanted it to be my phone number, but the phone company wouldn’t give it to me.). ---
