In addition to other names already mentioned, I have to admit being partial to **Fromage A Trois** since I first saw it. ---

**Go You Big Red Fire Engine**. Man, I wish I’d thought of that. ---

I like **Patty O’Furniture**. And of course I like **What Exit** , because I suggested it. ---

I don’t think they’ve posted here in forever, but I always liked the names neuro-trash grrrl and PurpleCrackwhore. Not as punny as some of the other names, but they always caught my attention. E3 ---

Okay, here it is. **Excalibre** , which in the US would be Excaliber, is a riff on King Arthur’s sword Excalibur. He’s fond of guns, though, so it’s calibre, meaning the barrel diameter of a gun. **Ellis Dee** , if I remember right, was the actual name of a California drug enforcement official about the time LSD was outlawed, so it’s a double layered joke. I just love **Harriet The Spry** ’s screenname, a riff on Harriet The Spy, a children’s heroine. ---

Considered solely for cleverness and not the personality of the Doper, **Satisfying Andy Licious** is my all time favorite Doper name. That **Liberal’s** not a contemporary liberal at all took me awhile to find funny, but now I do. ---

BTW, how is my user name pronounced in your head? I’ve always wondered how it sounds in other people’s heads. I don’t want to ruin what cachet it may have by telling you how it’s pronounced in my head. I’m sure yours is better. My current favorite has to be **Typo Knig** , I don’t remember any **Typo Mna**. Would **WOOKINPANUB** mind if I created an alter-ego known as **Goonie Goo Goo**? ---

**I Love Me, Vol I** weighed in upthread. I like palindromic usernames. 😃 And anyone who knows his Lewis Carroll just has to like **Rilchiam**. ---

Man, how do I choose? My favourites, I think, have all been mentioned. I also rather liked **This Year’s Model** for some reason before he became **Frank**.
