Armpit

Burke
Butt

Honeybum
Hooker
Kettle
McQueer
Nutter
Pipe
Pratt
Puller
Ramsbottom
Reddick

I still had to leave a few out because they're potentially too risky. :D

Id have to say that this list is long enough to get Linden Labs through their next million Residents by now ..

Someone wake up a Linden.

Am I crazy, or did they add more names recently, but also kept the old ones? Seriously, how many more users with the last name Hax do we need? But I *think* there are some new ones sprinkled around in there.

I should think the last name..."Hix" would be more appropriate...at least in some instances.

Damn. Ham Burger and Cheese Burger have gone, and they appear to be recycling old names. Llewelyn is up there.

Yup. About 30 people had the foresight to register at slnamewatch.com, and received an alert of the new names at 03:08 AM PDT. This was within one hour of the new names being released. The alert system worked exactly as planned.
/me toots his horn.

The count of new names added is in the top section of http://www.slnamewatch.com/, in the "Site Statistics" section. The names themselves are listed on the first page and 1/2 of http://www.slnamewatch.com/
I don't know if there are any from this thread. Please let us know if you see any.

I haven't cross-checked yet, but I was on the alert list too and now actually got the name for an alt that I had wanted right from the beginning...as they actually added the last name I was hunting for...if you happen to see Rhian Jenkins, that's actually me! Being on the alert list was a GREAT help!

This looks like fun. Here are 26 names of fantasy and science fiction writers (checked against slnamewatch.com to see if they have been used already):

Asimov (Isaac)
Burroughs (Edgar Rice)
Cabell (James Branch)
Derleth (August)
Effinger (George Alec)
Farmer (Philip José)
Gernsback (Hugo)
Heinlein (Robert A.)
Ing (Dean)
Jacques (Brian)
Kornbluth (Cyril M.)
Lovecraft (Howard Phillips)
Moorcock (Michael)
Norman (John) [a must for SL, for obvious reasons]
Orwell (George)
Piper (H. Beam)
Queen (Ellery) [only sneaks in because of a derth of "Q"s and that fact that Jack Vance, Theodore Sturgeon, and Avram Davidson all wrote under that prolific pseudonym at times]
Rowling (J. K.)
Smith (Edward Elmer, George O., Cordwainer, Clark Ashton, and L. Neil)
Tolkien (J. R. R.)
U (I give up here. Underwood (as in Laura J. has been used. I can't think of any other even moderately famous SF/Fantasy writers who's last names begin with "U";)
Vance (Jack)
Wollheim (Donald A.)
Yarbro (Chelsea Quinn)
X (okay--the theme has officially defeated me!)
Zelazny (Roger)
