I think **FreakFreely** has a cool ring to it. Also \*\*Krispy Original, X-Files, Devil In Disguise, Undead Dude, Fretful Porpentine. Imthecowgodmoo \*\*is pretty special. \*\*Duck Duck Goose \*\* is good. **Satan Squared** seemed like the best derivative name, but I’d probably change it to **Santa Squared** to fit my style better. ---

I wouldn’t. I like Byzantine. Subtle evil. It suits me. Now tell me in twenty-five words or less why I shouldn’t kick your ass. Verbally, that is! 😉 ---

I want **Bill**. But some squatter owns it. No posts seem to exist for him. That’s just life sometimes. ---

I kinda liked Oat Willie, although I would have changed it to Oat Irving. And “loverock” was a good name, too. ---

I’d definitely just pick someone with a higher post count and save myself the time. 😛 ---

I wouldn’t swap for the world, all the other ones are way too hard to type when drunk. ---

I want just **Jessica** , but as with **Bill H.** , some squatter has taken my name! I can’t even find any posts by said “Jessica”. I think she’s just a figment of. . . someone’s imagination. ---

Same here. I’d like just “flyboy,” but some guy who I’ve never seen post has it. There should be a rule, like if you don’t post in a year or two you lose your account. ---

I would have loved to be the first one to come up with **FireUnderpantsBoobs**. But I wasn’t and even though that person has since changed their screen name, I wouldn’t take it - it would be too confusing. If I ever changed my screen name to something new, I’d love for it to be **Beanzilla**. ---

Someone mentioned in a tread on the “Prisoner” that a good name would be “The New Number Two”. 😃 ---

I’d probably steal **Rue DeDay** - simple, clever, funny. ---

I like ones that display as a funny variation of a real name, like lolagranola I like the sound of it. I also like lamafish and I have used it for other thing but I had to settle for lamafishing a few times b/c someone had it. I dont like that one as much but it made do. ---

I’ve mentioned somewhere before that I wish I’d thought of **Xapno Mapcase** when I registered. But I didn’t. Alas. (It’s a reference to Harpo Marx’s autobiography, titled _Harpo Speaks!_.) ---
