Back when I signed up I couldn't really think of a nickname, plus I thought the whole idea was a little silly, so I just decided to go with my real name, à la Susan Westemeyer.

However there are some pretty good ones. Please feel free to nominate any nickname you find good.

FabulousCandelabra
Hugh Januss
Cobblestoned
Fowsto Cop-E
Fausto's Schnauzer
 
You mean names rather than nicknames?

I like

I watch cycling in July
Jens Attacks
Libertine Seguros
Dekker Tifosi

the best ones are of course Tylers Twin and WonderLance.

Also a good idea if some of those who didnt pick tongue in cheek names or those who did, name a few good ones yet to be taken

I got.

Cadel win win 8
Me and Bobby G
TGBMsucks ( i dare a new poster to take this)
The TGBM delusion
Bobby G is falling down.
Cadels Dog

Apologise if they suck or appear anti Dutch.

Names that I think are clever:
Libertine Seguros
Dr Maserati

Tribute names that I like:
steelciocc
Kellys Big Sprocket

Names that make me laugh:
wow this looks like bike radar
Kevin Rudd's Hairdryer
LanceInMyPants
Moose McKnuckles
Hong Kong Phooey

A refreshingly honest name:
notcredible

A name at odds with itself:
VinoKash

Great names that are sadly underused:
Fail McWigans
asockpuppet
craptastic

Names that make me wonder, WTF?
flyingporkpies
The fridge in the blue trees
wooba gooba with the green teeth


I'm surprised that we don't have an Ulle in our mix. Someone should grab that one.

Bobby G is falling down...... priceless!

Another vote here for Fabulous Candelabra. As far as I'm concerned, that's what he's called now. :D

Mine sucks but I registered just after I read an article about Jen Voigt and a CSC teammate called him Boeing as a nickname.

Well at least we know how you came about that name...

I, for one, assumed you worked in the airline industry :eek:

I gotta throw a shout out for TFF, simply because his name is more than just flippin' a sayin' around...at least I think it is.

I second Pedaling Squares' nomination as well. A very apropos name in this here forum :D

The diligent work of Polish (from the Landis thread) has brought another one to my attention:

Kungfu Supercomputer
I mean, c'mon. Badazz and smart. That's tough to beat.

And certainly Race Radio gets a nomination.
Besides the name being exceptionally appropriate and pertinent, his avatar is "classic" in every sense of the word.

I feel pretty bad about only getting one mention, so I am considering changing my nick. Right now it is a toss up between Harry P. Ness and Jack Miehoff. Which do you guys think I should go with?

Really, Hugh, you know you can't change your name. I have had the same thought, as when I registered I got stuck with the process and was not thinking....:D it was only after the fact that I thought of some names...
