We all know this guy who nominated themself for a moderator position in the upcoming election.[1] Over the course of , we got to know him under a number of different names.[2]

Notice the comments under his nomination post over at the election site. Of if you’re too lazy to follow the link, here are the important ones:

If we vote for you, can we choose your new name on meta? ;) – Jan Oct 3 at 21:29

@Jan I've decided I'll keep one name if I ever become a mod on any site. So OK. – Rubisco Oct 4 at 14:54

Since the actual election will happen soon, it is vital we start proposing names[3] — and this is the thread to do this!

Add an answer suggesting a name for You-know-who. Vote on those you like and don’t vote on those you don’t like. Additionally, to make counting easier, please only add one name per answer. All names should adhere to the be-nice policy and, of course, Rubisco has the right to veto a suggestion.

This closes when the election closes[4] and if Rubisco is not elected, the entire thing is moot.

Notes:

[1]: If you didn’t: welcome to meta! Make yourself a home!

[2]: Including, but not limited to MAR, MAR spelt with funny characters, Ina, TIPS, DEAD, RuBisCO, …

[3]: http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/32817285#32817285

[4]: Open to other suggestions, if you feel timeframe x be so much better.

In case you didn’t immediately realise, the chemical abbreviation for that would be $\ce{MAr}$.
