There are many short (6-7 char) names like Lear, Macbeth, Hamlet, Romeo, Juliet, Caeser, and of course, for the graphics vax, Puck. Another suggestion is characters from Dickens or any other resonably prolific author - Tiny Tim, Scrooge, Cratchet. Or perhaps from Melville (Send me Ishmael about it) or Cooper (Natty Bumpo). The final author I suggest is Dr. Seuss - Lorax Vax, Sam Vax, The Vax in the Hat, Sneech Vax, etc. Terribly afraid to sign my name, Matthew Merzbacher ...!brunix!mam
