I've always been quite impressed by Anomander Rake. Tim Send a noteboard - 19/09/2010 10:05:10 PM
Also, as temeraire mentioned, Iain [M] Banks has some pretty good names, especially for spaceships in his Culture novels. Examples include Very Little Gravitas Indeed and Ravished By The Sheer Implausibility Of That Last Statement.
Vigilantibus non dormientibus jura subveniunt.
