Twickster stands out for me. One word says it all and she lives up to it by saying very clever stuff. ---

**AndyPolley** : two words that encapsulate the entire postmodern dialectic dilemma, fused into one word, thereby both reifying and resisting its own dialectic. Genius. **Colibri** : conjures up visions of a man beating himself on the head with his own four by two. Stalinist and savage. **Starving Artist** : a struggling artist, short of food. Minimalist, powerful. **David Simmons** : bland, anonymous, colourless. A coup. ---

I always liked **What is Schwa**. I know what a schwa is, but for those who don’t, that’s exactly what they ask: What _IS_ Schwa?? ---

I appreciate the compliment. If you will do a search on my nick, you will find there are many of us, but I lay claim to the original. I have had it since 1991. Victor Hugo is my favorite author. Thanks Q ---

I’ll second Hypno-Toad. After all, _Everyone loves Hypnotoad_. 😃 Of course, the show has been going downhill since the 3rd season… 😉😃 ---

Along the lines of **Mirror Image egamI rorriM** , there’s that Doper name that someone has…dammit…there’s no way I’m gonna spell it correctly…but it’s basically “upside down” written upside down. Something like **nds!pe pomu** , or maybe reversed too. ---

> [@Marley23](#): > > That’s **umop ap!sdn**. Man, that was hard to search for! There’s also **Punoqllads** , which also reads something upside down. Not quite as reflexive as **umop ap!sdn** , but still a good one. ---

Now it sings karaoke. Thank YOU **Pinkfreud** 🙂 I’ve often wondered how many people “get” it. And **Dr. Drake** , your imagery makes me giggle loudly 😛 In another thread about poster’s names, someone said they always read it as a Wookie in Punjab! ---

There are many doper names that amuse me each time I see them (yeah, I’m easily amused). But one of my favorites–just for the seemingly child-like awe of flashing, noisy things screaming down the street-- is: **Go You Big Red Fire Engine**. ---

**Roger** , you come not to praise me, but to continue your never ending quest to mock me. Fortunately, your barbs continue to amuse. Aside from the great ones already mentioned, I always chuckle at the names **Gangster Octopus** and **The King of Soup**. **Czarcasm** is still my favorite. ---

I enjoy **Batsinma Belfry dnooman vivalostwages** purely for the sound of their names. It just roooolls off my tongue 😛 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/witty-doper-names/350469.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/witty-doper-names/350469.md?page=3)
