He had to agree. As amusing as names like Superboy and Starscream could be on the bulletin board, something less extravagant would be more suitable. Luckily, with such a diverse patient body, even slightly more unusual names could be considered commonplace. Especially with so many from Japan. Klavier would personally prefer to stay away from Japanese names, however. More likely than not, anything he could think of belonged to about four other individuals.

There in lay another issue: It would be difficult to think of ordinary names not too many others might have. It would be pointless to use a name multiple people would respond to after all. This was a tricky little problem. How would they know what names were safe and which weren't?

"Anything too common would probably be taken by actual patients," he said in consideration. "...There is also the possibility of using pre-established alias names. Fictional characters or pen names, for example. Nothing too complicated would be necessary. Even a children's book would work. I doubt there are any works that could be associated with us in particular."
