You all forgot **Ayesha** _Shame On You!_ 😉 “She who must be obeyed” goes under Fantasy and Literary Characters. **Smashed Ice Cream** goes under Edibles. My name ( **Bosda Di’Chi of Tricor** ) is derived from my RL name. As it was created under the rules of “make your Star Wars name”, I qualify as a Jedi Knight. So, Superheroes as well. ---

Oh, man **Osiris**!!! That sucks. That was one of the best posts I have ever seen. Not to mention the absolute longest. I was definitely about 9 feet long. And, if I can be in multiple categories, I too join the crowd under “Names That Come From Real Names” or whatever it’s called. I miss it bad, **Osiris**. I wil always remember. ---

Hi. I guess i fit “Category #[?]: Music! [names inspired by some type of lyrics and I suppose song, album or band names - someone else can give this category a better title]” or Category \_\_: Dopers whose names vaguely reflect their current standing in the capitalist/competitive market or Category\_\_: Losers or Category\_\_: Dopers with 3 word names, and the middle world being an indefinite article or Category\_\_: all\_lower\_case\_doper\_names\_with\_underscores\_separating\_words ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Ellen \* > **New category:** Real-sounding pseudonyms > **Jonathan Chance > Arnold Winkelried** (Heck, maybe it IS his name, but I seem to remember him saying once that it was some obscure reference…) The famous swiss independence hero, obscure!?! Bite your tongue! (go to my website for details) Arnold Winkelried could fit in: Medieval characters Historical figures Also the main character of an 1892 opera by Louis Lacombe ([see here](http://www.intac.com/~rfrone/operas/Books/Martens-1001/1001-11.htm)) but then almost any major historical character would appear in a book / play / opera somewhere I imagine. ---

Actually, I’d also go in **Category 28: Doper names that stem from the doper’s real name**. **PhiloVance** might be based on his real name, but also belongs in Literary Characters. He stars in some pretty entertaining (if a little strange) mysteries by S.S. Van Dine. category 20: Literary Characters [li]Holden Caulfield[/li][li]Hamlet[/li][li]Mercutio[/li][li]algernon[/li][li]Doc Daneeka[/li][li]alice\_in\_wonderland[/li]**[\*]PhiloVance** ---

**Osiris** : Your beautiful list! That’s such a bummer. Per my World Book: “… thus the idea of resurrection became the central theme of those who worshipped Osiris.” Perhaps there’s someone out there who pasted your post into a file, or who made a hardcopy (and has a scanner)? You could reward that person with some demi-god position in your underworld echelon, couldn’t you? ---
