Menelaus Darcy, for instance. (can't believe i sed "daily grind" w/o some ironic disclaimer emoticon but that wd hav sukd more so...)

I admire 'Tracer Hand' because I do think of it as a real name, which it probably isn't. 'Ned Raggett' is, I expect his real name, and it's one of those names that is probably shit at school but great thereafter. I'd take it.

My real name (which isn't EK!) is one I share with no one else in the world (which is why I don't use it) and it's alliterative and everything, but it's not so cool.

Aw, thanks. And indeed, it was crap at school at time. "Hur hur, Nerd Faggot."

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 24 January 2003 02:06 (twenty-three years ago)

i was just thinking Eyeball Kicks was a cool name

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Friday, 24 January 2003 02:08 (twenty-three years ago)

I still think "Ned Raggett" sounds like a barnstormer's name.

It's a random, spur-of-moment, phrase-from-poem name chosen just for something to use. But I like it when people reply to a message with just 'Eyeball', like "Eyeball is so not OTM", or whatever, as if I'm some old blues singer.

Ramosi, that name has a certain something.

Tracer Hand and Eyeball Kicks both sound like Sonic Youth song titles which makes them fine by me.

― Lynskey (Lynskey), Friday, 24 January 2003 04:10 (twenty-three years ago)

Tracer Hand I used to associate with some sort of 60s drug vibe, so I imagined him to be this old wizened biker type. I don't quite know why.

― Nicole (Nicole), Friday, 24 January 2003 04:26 (twenty-three years ago)

well although my name isn't as, um, buckin' as tracer's you gotta dig the hair:

Dom Passantino (wait is the last name with a m or n, well its still cool both ways)

― Chupa-Cabras (vicc13), Friday, 24 January 2003 05:36 (twenty-three years ago)

eyeball is one of my fave names, and i also like electric sound of jim. that girl is pretty cool as a moniker too.

― donna (donna), Friday, 24 January 2003 05:49 (twenty-three years ago)

Rainy is the best name ever.

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Friday, 24 January 2003 06:03 (twenty-three years ago)

Marcello Carlin has a fine name, although that may be because I hear faint echoes of my own in there.

― Colin Meeder (Mert), Friday, 24 January 2003 09:32 (twenty-three years ago)

electric sound of jim

― James Ball (James Ball), Friday, 24 January 2003 09:38 (twenty-three years ago)

I like Duckling Monster, dunno why, just like the sound of it and the images it conjures up in my mind.

― smee (smee), Friday, 24 January 2003 09:38 (twenty-three years ago)

James Ball. *classic*

And Madchen is a good one too.

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 24 January 2003 09:44 (twenty-three years ago)

James Ball. *classic*

Lara, either:

a) you mean my choice of 'electric sound of jim' is a sound one
b) you're taking the piss
c) you are mad.

No sane person could envy my name, unless they're called Albert Fuckwit or something.

― James Ball (James Ball), Friday, 24 January 2003 09:57 (twenty-three years ago)

*aghast*

Perhaps I've been on the platonic thread once too many times this morning?

Don't worry Lara.

Lara Byrne is a very nice name btw. But I don't envy you as such as I feel my gender tourism urges have now been satisfied.

Tracer Hand
Sterling Clover
Ned Raggett

I think Gale Deslongchamps is a cool name too.

― Snowy Mann (rdmanston), Friday, 24 January 2003 11:35 (twenty-three years ago)

I heart the names Menelaus Darcy, CJ_the_unruly and Madchen in Uniform.

― Mark C (Mark C), Friday, 24 January 2003 11:36 (twenty-three years ago)

Dom Passantino (wait is the last name with a m or n, well its still cool both ways)

Awww, thanks. Nearly makes up for being called Domino's Pizza during my formative years of education.

How can you pass over the poetry of the words "Anthony Miccio"? I have always enjoyed repeated them over and over to myself in some sort of psychotic mantra. Sometimes on the tube.

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Friday, 24 January 2003 13:16 (twenty-three years ago)

Matt DC. That email addy is fucking brilliant.

― SittingPretty (sittingpretty), Friday, 24 January 2003 13:19 (twenty-three years ago)

Rainy, obviously. Dastoor is a great word. Anna's is perfect.

― Graham (graham), Friday, 24 January 2003 13:23 (twenty-three years ago)

But my name references a really rockin' band???

Hmmm...
I like lots of names on here. I like the name nickalicious alot. But I think I most like the more simple names like suzy and kate, chris v. and dan perry. Guess I'm old-fashioned.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 24 January 2003 13:24 (twenty-three years ago)

i wish i was called 'jel' in real life

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Friday, 24 January 2003 13:25 (twenty-three years ago)

I can't read 'electric sound of jim' without reading the last word as 'jism'. Maybe that's just me.

Tracer Hand sounds like someone from TimeSplitters. Ever handled a sniper rifle Tracer?

Yes, totally, yes. I've always thought that too.

To be honest I don't envy anyone their name. I love mine too much. There is no way I'm giving up my surname when i get married.

― Celeste (Celeste), Sunday, 26 January 2003 17:14 (twenty-three years ago)

But you'll sign away all your worldly goods and personal freedom, right?

― Lara (Lara), Sunday, 26 January 2003 17:16 (twenty-three years ago)

Motherless Brooklyn is a book, it's pretty good but I don't read anything except papers and mags normally so my standards aren't too high. One of the characters in it is called Frank Minna.

― Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 26 January 2003 17:16 (twenty-three years ago)

and they drove a tracer, i think.

― ron (ron), Sunday, 26 January 2003 17:50 (twenty-three years ago)

Ronan, it's a damn fine book - plot a bit predictable and all, but the characterizations were priceless, and the dialogue amazing. A good investment, me thinks. (And it did win - hmmm - the National Book Critics Award? And was short-listed for several others.)

Have you read Letham's other works? I've "Gun, with Occasional Music" (one of my favorite titles) sitting in my to be read pile.

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Sunday, 26 January 2003 18:32 (twenty-three years ago)

We did Motherless Brooklyn as the second and last ILE book group read (search for 'Book Club'). I've read Gun too - I'm a bit mystified as to the amount of fuss about Lethem, to be honest.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 26 January 2003 19:32 (twenty-three years ago)

I like She Crawled Across The Table bestest by Lethem. Would make an excellent indie film.

― Pete (Pete), Monday, 27 January 2003 13:45 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes, Sarah McLusky is not my real name. I actually did put some thought into it at some point. It's totally easy to find my real name, but it's so boring and common. At least where I live, McLusky isn't too common.

What's this McSlutsky business? I don't mind McLusty though. Seems a bit sassy.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 27 January 2003 13:53 (twenty-three years ago)

two months pass...

Revive!

I envy Cozen's name so much. I pronounce it the way you do "frozen", and it sounds like the name of a completely malevolent evil overlord intent on taking over the universe and bringing on the apocalypse. It would be a grebt name for a horror movie villain!

― Nicole (Nicole), Friday, 11 April 2003 13:59 (twenty-three years ago)

Don't give him ideas! He will start by turning Scotland into a icy wasteland. *waits patiently for jokes*

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 11 April 2003 14:03 (twenty-three years ago)

what sort of jokes?

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 11 April 2003 14:06 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah Raggett, wot u mean?

― smee (smee), Friday, 11 April 2003 14:09 (twenty-three years ago)

Should I just change my name to McSlutsky then?

― slutsky (slutsky), Friday, 11 April 2003 14:17 (twenty-three years ago)

I like minna's name

― Mandee, Friday, 11 April 2003 14:24 (twenty-three years ago)

McSlutsky? How about McStereotype?

― smee (smee), Friday, 11 April 2003 14:25 (twenty-three years ago)

?????????

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 11 April 2003 14:26 (twenty-three years ago)

"Shakey Mo Collier"

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 11 April 2003 14:26 (twenty-three years ago)

Sorry, that McStereotype sounded really bitchy for no apparent reason! Please return to ignoring me completely....

― smee (smee), Friday, 11 April 2003 14:28 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah, I didn't really get that.

― slutsky (slutsky), Friday, 11 April 2003 14:29 (twenty-three years ago)

Bad day surrounded by bitching females, complete circuit overload Humble apologies for my inane ranting - you should be used to it by now anyway.

― smee (smee), Friday, 11 April 2003 14:31 (twenty-three years ago)

No offense taken.

― slutsky (slutsky), Friday, 11 April 2003 14:31 (twenty-three years ago)

I like all these names for various reasons:
Fields of Salmon – you gotta love that imagery.
your null fame – fey and cool without being shite.
Amateurist – cos it carries loads of connotations.
Kate the Saint – has a sweet ring to it
Julio Desouza – cos it sounds nails.
Sarah Starry – cos it’s kind of hippie which is all good with me (no offence if you is a hippie hater Sarah).
Minna - just like the name loads.
And I always find myself wondering what the ‘Q’ in Dave Q stands for.

― Alex K (Alex K), Friday, 11 April 2003 14:33 (twenty-three years ago)

"Quality".

― Chris P (Chris P), Friday, 11 April 2003 14:34 (twenty-three years ago)

That, or "quim". Your choice.

― Chris P (Chris P), Friday, 11 April 2003 14:34 (twenty-three years ago)

Slightly offtopic, I only just realised that Roger Adultery and Roger Fascist are two separate entities. Sorry, rogers.

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Friday, 11 April 2003 14:36 (twenty-three years ago)

Hehe, what about 'Quincy' - Dave, do you have a penchant for detective work on the side from a day job as a hard-nosed autopsy doctor?

― Alex K (Alex K), Friday, 11 April 2003 14:39 (twenty-three years ago)

The Q stands for 'Queen.' Seriously (it's printed on the sleeve of various Brazen Hussies releases).

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 11 April 2003 14:42 (twenty-three years ago)

"Dave Q" sounds like the Morning Zoo DJ from hell!

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 11 April 2003 14:43 (twenty-three years ago)

I guessed that! I just thought it would be Queen because they were kind of a glam band for a little while and Dave Q loves glam. I didn't read any sleeves or nuffink.

― Nicole (Nicole), Friday, 11 April 2003 14:44 (twenty-three years ago)

(also I like that he writes it in lowercase because the tail/serif on the "q" looks like a foot stomping down)

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 11 April 2003 14:45 (twenty-three years ago)

Rah for Nicole's powers of deduction! I admit I had no idea myself until I saw it.

wow a discussion about my name upthread that i never saw before!

― weasel diesel (K1l14n), Friday, 11 April 2003 14:49 (twenty-three years ago)

I like Rockist Scientist & Masonic Boom as names.

The only answer possible: CHAKI

Once, a long time ago, someplace else, I went by Whirlpool McDouglas. I keep meaning to resurrect it.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 11 April 2003 15:39 (twenty-three years ago)

I honestly get a little kick every single time I see 'donut bitch' under a post.

I love Luna's name, it's gorgeous and makes me think of watching a full moon glowing on the horizon over the ocean and reflecting on the water.

There's something unwholesomely musical about the names Chaki and Momus, and for some reason I imagine their names could be used as verbs if hard pressed.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 11 April 2003 15:56 (twenty-three years ago)

or, better yet, adjectives

(And thanks Nicole.)

― Cozen (Cozen), Friday, 11 April 2003 16:32 (twenty-three years ago)

How is it I've never noticed this before now?

In no particular order:

Rainy - it sounds gentle and sweet and rainy days are my favorites;

Starry 'cos it calls to mind the sky when it's black outside and the stars are merrily twinkling away - makes me happy

Tracer Hand - reminds me of Calvin & Hobbes (which also reminds me of the C&H slash... oh how that hurt me in my heart) and Calvin's alter ego Tracer Bullet, so classic

I, too, get a kick out of donut bitch every time I see it

I like suzy - reminds me of one of my dearest friends

Yancey, cos it's just a cool name

nickalicious just sounds decadent and luscious in some way - sort of like melted dark chocolate and red wine

mookieproof just makes me laugh

(I'm sure there are more, but this is wot came to mind)

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 11 April 2003 17:15 (twenty-three years ago)

A favorite quote from upthread:

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 11 April 2003 17:19 (twenty-three years ago)

nickalicious just sounds decadent and luscious in some way - sort of like melted dark chocolate and red wine

How appropriate, then, that the nickname originated from the mouth of a woman who had a glass of pinot noir in her hand, while I was at work at a restaurant where one of my responsibities was making desserts, many of which required me to melt dark chocolate!!!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 11 April 2003 17:24 (twenty-three years ago)

''Julio Desouza – cos it sounds nails.''?!

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Friday, 11 April 2003 19:28 (twenty-three years ago)

I wondered if he thought you sounded tough, hard. You do give that impression on board too. (In person, Julio is far more on the cute side, readers.)

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 11 April 2003 19:47 (twenty-three years ago)

Am I a McStereotype of some sort? I wouldn't know what kind...? Or was that not even about me really? I'm confused.

Anyways, I like lots of names on ILX. I'm all lovey dovey and shit.

I admire Christine "Green Leafy Dragon" Indigo cos she's been a regular for aaaages and anyone else would have just shortened it by now.

Esp. since I always have to type in the last four words myself.

I thought I was more of a semi-regular, myself.

― Christine "Green Leafy Dragon" Indigo (cindigo), Friday, 11 April 2003 20:34 (twenty-three years ago)
