As long as you guys are the topic of used names. I have a comment. Any common word is now taken somewhere, face it. Half the writers in west coast have started writing spanish words becasue they ran out, and no not because there mexicans.
Heist for instance. Is Zephyr's side name. Heist is also Gigs's side name. Gigs, probably the first writer to go all bay area, SF, Oakland, Berkeley, other surrounding areas. There is a book called "photo graphing railroads". somehwere in the middle is a picture of a SP engine crossing the rockies in the late 80's second car back is a Heist piece on a SP ridgie.
There are ways around getting shit for using a taken name. You blow it up 100x's harder than its previous owner. You find the person and graciously ask to start it up again, assuming this person stopped using it?? Or you fight over it.
