What's In A Name?

Quote of the moment:
"I'm ordering the social shirts next week, so you need to start thinking about what name you want"

Hmmmm. It's a tough one. My personal favourite out of the seniors is wannabe PTI John, who has "Dangerous Brian" on his for no apparent reason. Others include "The Edge", "Cuthbert" and "Logistics". So, there's obviously no great need for reasoning or anything, but:

Skinner: Er, um, we need a name that's witty at first, but that seems
less funny each time you hear it.
Apu: How about, "The Be Sharps?"

Suggestions so far: Bushman, Bushtucker, both due to trying to sit on a very solid-looking bush near the gate when eating chips on the way home. Liz Hurley, for last night's mimicing in the corner and getting hauled outside incident. Relic, for turning 20 in two days time. Doorstop, for falling asleep half way through the front door of the flat on the second night. Pints, as a straightforward pun on my name. Smith, for thinking "What is the most common name in Ireland" was a trick question and discarding Murphy.

Perhaps Orinocco or Timbucktoo?

Treebeard?

That's what the suggestions were... apart from Liz Hurley, which was my own suggestion to replace "Sickboy" which lacked a certain something.

That's as in what I've been called already, I haven't actually asked for suggestions...

Nope, definitely doesn't have a ring to it.

I have my name, courtesy of Steve (who I named Babyface in the first proper week, which he's going to have on his shirt):

"The White Rabbit"

Because I'm always late :p
