I like the names with a built-in joke, such as **Howard Juneau.** Sometimes, you have to type the userā€™s name, so the long or hard-to-spell ones are annoying. I love ya, **ComeToTheCookieSideWeHaveDarkBeer,** , but, jeez, gimme a break. ---

Iā€™m 99% certain that itā€™s from EE ā€œDocā€ Smithā€™s ā€˜Lensmanā€™ series, where two ancient civilisations clash (even though one of them doesnā€™t know about the other). Now the hidden civilisation encourages 4 planets to breed the very best of their own species to aid in the battle. And Qadgop is the ultimate Mercotanā€¦ ---

Very little is actually known of Qadgop except that heā€™s nonhumanoid and likes to slither on hulls. The original, that is, not his (its?) Doper namesake. ---

Covet to your heartā€™s content; I donā€™t mind. šŸ˜‰ I started out here with just my first name and last initial, which I quickly realized was a stupefyingly dull username. **Elendilā€™s Heir** came to me in a flash one day, and a mod was kind enough to change it for me. Although from time to time I wish Iā€™d picked a Monty Python-related name (I even started a thread about it - itā€™d be hard to choose between **Jethro Q. Walrustitty MP, Wensleydale, Shabby Ken Shabby, Minister of Silly Walks, Venezuelan Beaver Cheesemaker** and **Tarquin Biscuitbarrel** ), Iā€™m very happy with what Iā€™ve got. It was only after I picked it that I realized that the two-word phrase is actually used at least once in LOTR (although usually the rightful King of Gondor is alluded to as ā€œIsildurā€™s Heirā€). ---

Which doesnā€™t make sense, as Isildur was king of Arnor and, at best, regent of Gondor. Being Elendilā€™s Heir means youā€™re staking claim to the kingship of the Reunited Kingdom. Not that Iā€™m interested in such things,of course. I have renounced such ambitions. You should not fear to eat the cheesecake I just teleported to you. ---

My favorite username, but I donā€™t want it, is **FireUnderpantsBoobs**. I automatically snickered whenever I saw it, but I never found out the girlā€™s motivation for that name. ---
