[QUOTE=What Exit?] I tend to like the ones like that refer to things I like. Elendil’s Heir… [/QUOTE] Thanks, Jim - right back 'atcha (even if you didn’t pick any of the 3.7 million usernames I’d suggested)! 😉 My SDMB favorites include **Wookinpanub** (I always chortle when I think of Eddie Murphy singing, in character as Bu’wheat). I’m a sucker for puns, so **Shirley Ujest** and **Left Hand of Dorkness** (a double play - sci-fi and a pun) are high on my list. ---

[QUOTE=gigi] Please to explain? [/QUOTE] In Eddie Muphy’s days on Saturday Night Live, he did a recurring skit of the Little Rascal’s character Buckwheat, as a grown-up. On one episode, the character was selling an album of “top hits” he had recorded. One of the songs was the country hit “Lookin’ For Love (In All The Wrong Places)”, but in Buckwheat vernacular, “lookin for love” came out as “wookinpanub”. I used to love Eddie Murphy on SNL. ---

I saw Enola Straight posted in this thread and that gave me a good laugh. I have not seen nearly enough usernames yet but you guys are all a pretty creative bunch. As for me I’m thinking I should have picked Ollie Oxen Free instead. 🙂 ---

**Enola Straight** was the first one to make me chuckle. _enjoys the ego stroke that one can only get when their user name is included in these discussions_ ---

I just saw another one I liked that I’d never seen before: **Chez Guevara**. I’ve also always liked **Anaamika** just because it’s pretty and **Anastasaeon** because it reminds me of Pokemon. (Evolutions of Eevee always have names ending in -eon.) Put me down for **Linty Fresh** too, by the way. A lot of the names in this thread are great. I sometimes want to change mine so that I’m more memorable. 😛 But I’m rinni, and that’s the way it is. ---

OK, I was reminded of one tonight. **Cheesesteak**. Every time I see that name (and I mean EVERY time) my mouth waters as I think of a nice steak and cheese sub. ---

If a picture paints a thousand words, then **LunaV** must rate among the very best. 😉 ---

[QUOTE=LunaV] OK, I was reminded of one tonight. **Cheesesteak**. Every time I see that name (and I mean EVERY time) my mouth waters as I think of a nice steak and cheese sub. [/QUOTE] I get that too! But I hate it, because it makes me hungry for a restaurant that doesn’t exist anymore. LunaV, I always notice your username. But what is the ‘V’ for? In my head you are Loo-nav, but pretty like the moon. 😉 I smile to see **Kid A** , because I’m a Radiohead fan, and likewise the Discworld refs like **Angua** , and **Ponder Stibbons**. Because I have a crush on that character, I had a little crush on him before even knowing anything about him. What Exit? is nice because I was there for the poll to change it, and because I’m a Jersey guy myself, though I’m more “What PATH stop?” **Least Original etc is Longest Username Ever to me, just like Go Go You Big Red etc is Big Red Username. Even when I disagree with them, the fact that I have nicknames for them makes me inclined to like them. \*\* Auntbeast is Aunt Beast from Wrinkle in Time and could not be bad.** Fishbicycle\*\* gets a smile, and so does **Candid Gamera** I get a grin out of every time. I think that may be my actual, pain-of-pain answer for my favorite username. **eleanorigby** is Ms. Igby to me. **Giraffe** is a great UN – who could dislike a giraffe? I was shocked to learn that **Der Trihs** didn’t mean to be Red Shirt backwards. I thought that was all part of his schtick. I liked the UN a lot before then. ---

[QUOTE=rinni] **Anastasaeon** because it reminds me of Pokemon. (Evolutions of Eevee always have names ending in -eon.) [/QUOTE] Ooooh! Romanov Eevee! **Anastasaeon** **Type** : Exploding Star **Ability** : Disappear **Height** : 2’11" **Weight** : 54 lbs **Evolves from** : Eevee **Evolves to** : None **Description** : Disappears from royal family without a trace. Can be found spending too much time on message boards. More useless than a Magikarp. Aaaaanyway… I like a lot of usernames, probably too many to list, so, for a change, I will try to pick one: **The Chao Goes Mu**. Simply the most awesome name _ever_. It’s probably the only name I’ve ever seen that makes me wish \*I’d \* thought of it. 🆒 Although there was a name I saw somewhere else, and I wish I could remember where, and I’ve mentioned it here a few times. It’s nowhere near as clever as TCGM, but it always sets me giggling as though I were still ten years old: **omg let’s bone** It’s just so damn _wrong_ on so many levels. ---

[QUOTE=Enola Straight] i love me, vol.1 [/QUOTE] Actually it’s **I Love Me, Vol. I** , with the Roman numeral “I” instead of regular old numeral “1.” I remember this because, awesomely enough, it’s a palindrome. I like the name **Lando Griffin** (from a drop-dead _Family Guy_ gag). And **vibrotronica** , both because it’s a cool-sounding word and because he throws great parties. My favorite, though, is **Exapno Mapcase**. When I first saw it, I slapped my forehead and shouted, “_That_ is the name I should have used!” (Though I’m not sure if he registered before I did.) ---
