There are lots of great names on the board, but two spring to mind when I ask myself this question.
One is Chronos. It just has a terrific sound to it and it’s probably meaningful to him, as well. It wouldn’t apply to me at all but I just like it.
The other is The Devil’s Grandmother. I love the image I get with this! Wish I’d thought of it first.
There are lots of others that I like, but those are a couple of favorites off the top of my head. Which names do you wish yours was as cool as?
(Hey, I’m Southern. I can make up convoluted sentences that end with prepositions if I want to! Look, I did it again!)
The one I really wish I’d thought of first is Watcher of the Skies, which comes from the John Keats’ poem “On First Looking into Chapman’s Homer”.
Then felt I like some watcher of the skies,
When a new planet swims into his ken;
Or like stout Cortez, when with eagle eyes
He stared at the Pacific, - and all his men
Looked at each other with a wild surmise, -
Silent, upon a peak in Darien…
Yes, it was Balboa, not Cortez.
I’m also envious of the names Flamsterette_X and Bosda Di’Tri of Chicor.
Another vote for Shirley Ujest - and Rue de Day. Of course, I’d love to see a post by Shirley followed by someone with the username “Don’t Call Me Shirley”.
I also like Czarcasm - boy I’m good at bandwagon jumping, aren’t I?
CrazyCatLady just brings up great images - Lobsang because I am a Pratchett fan.
There are plenty of usernames that I’m sure are a giant whoosh to me.
Though I wouldn’t want it for myself, look!ninjas is a pretty cool name; it parses in my mind exactly as I would expect a badly-dubbed Japanese samurai to say it.
I also envy all the Narnia names - I wish I’d thought of Jadis before she did. There’s a couple other Narnia names running around, but I can’t think of them at the moment.
