Yeah, how about Danny The Great, or Dan The Man, or Young Danny? Or, shucks, even use your real name.

I use my real name. Although I've taken to signing my talk comments with Uncle Ed, when you click on me you get Ed Poor.

Uncle Ed

I agree.  I join Ed Poor, though, in _recommending_ that a more
confidence-inspiring username would be a good idea.  It need not be a
real name, of course, but 'anonymous56789' might tend to confuse
people, as it sounds like a username of a passerby testing the system,
rather than a trusted and valued member of the community.
