It occurred to me just yesterday that I should make a villain called Simon Phoenix to combat my hero, John Spartan.

But someone has the name already ☹️

What's their boggle?

[Marshal_General]

I know this kind of died, but I was surprised I just got the name Minimum Force on Excelsior.

[Azari]

On exelsior i have a toon called “The Green Guy”

[Doc_Scorpion]

When Electrical Affinity came out, I was seriously surprised to find the name "Shock Princess" available.

I managed to get "Clockwork Killer" on Everlasting a few days ago.  That kind of blew my mind.

[Coyotedancer]

Someone else got "Paws for Concern" before my sib-in-law could claim it... But FCM and I were giggling over getting both "Paws for Effect" and "Paws for Reflection" on Ev.

I managed to grab Aloha and Mahalo for my heroes, Six-Gun Spectre for my vigilante, Poacher for my rogue, and Slaughter Engine for my villain.

Just made Scraplok on Torchbearer 😁

[Safehouse]

I made a peacebringer whose backstory involves a character merging with a kheldian who has a strong love of the 80's, in particular synthwave/retrowave music. His costume and powers are colored in bright hues of blue, magenta, pink, purple, with a bit of gold and black.

 

I went into this thinking "I really want to call him Neonstar, given his neon color scheme and cosmic powers," but I was dead certain that the name would be taken.

 

Thankfully, I was dead wrong, and I'm pleasantly shocked to say that Neonstar now roams the streets of Paragon!!

[Hew]

I have a few. I really like Shocking Discovery though, thats a fav of mine.

[Cutter]

Just rolled up Shock Value on Everlasting this morning (in response to a costume challenge no less).

I just rolled up ParaLaxAtive on Torch.  He makes the bad guyz soil themselves no matter what angle the see him at.

[Heraclea]

To my mild astonishment I just picked up the name 'Sabra' on Torchbearer.  Spines/energy scrapper.....

[Yomo Kimyata]

I made two Loyalists in Praetoria, both very rah rah:  Jingo Updog Esquire (a BS/regen brute) and his daughter Jingo Updog Esq. Jr (a DP/ninja blaster).

 

I was not surprised to get either of these names, but I had a *wha?* moment when it told me that Jingo Updog Esq. Jr. was taken.  I believe, as it turns out, that there are some rules against having multiple periods in a character name.  Whew!

[MrAxe]

I don't like repeating sets and the final Tank primary left to me today was invulnerbility. So I decided on an Invun/SS tank called Mr. Generic. Honestly thought I wouldn't bag that one.

[EmmySky]

I can't believe that over on Everlasting I just picked up the name Flee.  Honestly thought it'd be taken!

[Moka]

• Devil Trigger
• Bulletproof
• Evening
• Program
• Space Cowboy
• Helmet
• Combo
• Chillout
• Subhuman
• Pogchamp
• Delilah
• Runway

Doctor Multiverse 😜

[lenyjr]

Papa Purple (a take-off on the oft quoted advice of 'pop a purple') - i made his character all about protecting his teammates

[dtjunkie]

I was pretty amazed I got Power Hitter on Everlasting.

[Crysis]

I just snagged “Honeypot” on the first try last night, wanting to create an undercover police officer who basically convinced some of the felons she snared in an undercover sting operation working for her as her henchmen Thugs.  I was actually surprised it was available.  

 

I’ve had a great many that also were surprisingly available over the years, both on Live and on HC.  However, the opposite has also happened.  In both Live and within the first couple of days of HC being released I tried to snag my REAL LIFE nickname (which, also, was my main in PnP Champions and D&D before that).  And in BOTH instances, not only the actual spelling, but all the various “133T” spelling variations of my nickname were ALL taken.  It’s not even all that common and is actually a foreign-language word.  But my doppelgänger must be out there somewhere.

[AkuTenshiiZero]

Just made "Beast Knight" on Indomitable yesterday.  I was actually shocked and expected I would have to make a variation of the name.

 

I was able to secure two names early on, "Gremlin" and "Curare."  I would be more surprised if not for the fact that it was before Homecoming really kicked off.
