This is a variant on all of those porno, star trek, etc. name things. This one is your cyborg name. Go here to try it:[http://www.brunching.com/toys/toy-cyborger.html](http://www.brunching.com/toys/toy-cyborger.html)
Your name can only be up to 7 letters, so if you try your username and it is longer than 7 letters, you’ll have to shorten it. I used my real name, and my nickname:
-Barry: B.A.R.R.Y.: Biomechanical Android Responsible for Repair and Yardwork
-Doobie: D.O.O.B.I.E.: Digital Organism Optimized for Battle and Intensive Exploration
