Wherefore art thou Slotr...



So... paid name changes are finally possible on Dragonmaw, and I have a problem. So most of my 70 toons and 29 twinks follow a consistent naming convention. They're all aliases of the Futurama character Bender, with some 'y's and phonetic mispellings thrown in.

  • Bendyr

  • Fleckso (another bending unit, who he impersonated on a few occassions)

  • Coylette (his name when he became a fembot)

  • Bloto (his alias when he was in the mob)



However the other toon that I play is a 49 druid right now. His name is "Slotr" and the idea was that I was going to earn him a "sergeant" rank before the old honor system went away. That never happened of course, and now he just doesn't fit into my naming scheme.

Obviously I'd like to retain the "Bender" related naming conventions, but I might have to expand the list to general "Futurama-robots". I'm thinking either:

  • Kalculon

  • Hedonismbot

  • TinnyTim

  • Rodriguez (Bender's last name)



Or I can abandon the robot angle entirely and go with just other Futurama characters/concepts that sound cool for a character:

  • Elzar

  • Slurm

  • Poppler



And I can misspell the names as necessary to get around existing character names. Any thoughts or other ideas?

Update: Thanks Cowchan! How could I have forgotten Superking! So the name change gui seems to hate any name with the word "King" in it, so I had to actually go with "Superklng" (that's a "L" instead of an "I"). I also had to share the "success" picture that they give you when you do a name change, because it's priceless:

I just love Hedonismbot, so if that fits, I would go for him, although Bender has a closer relationship to TinyTim, as in "Bender Should Not Be Allowed on TV," TinyTim impersonates Bender with the other two kids to be cool.

Alternatively, you could also keep with the Bender reference and use the superhero name when he, Fry, and Leela became superheroes. Robotking, or something like that.

Just my 2 cents. "Let the games begin! hahahahahaha"

no wait it's "SuperKing"

Superking has the power, Superking has all the power, all the power of Superman. Also he's a robot, ain't it cool? Superking you rule!

I just hope it's not taken :/
