Picking the Perfect Name

I'm starting to work on a role playing game, and I thought I'd do a little research online first. I Googled "how to create a role playing game" and the first link that came up was How to Make Your Own Role-playing Game (Cheap). I'm going to quote the first paragraph:

I've spent too much money on "justifiable" expenses for working on games. I've bought art for $100; I've gone to CompUSA and bought Adobe Acrobat; and I should have paid an incredible amount on Adobe Pagemaker, Photoshop, and Microsoft Word. (Luckily, I have a CD-R and flexible morals, but both of those come with a cost, too.)

I literally laughed out loud when I read the last couple sentences, as I found it a really funny way of saying he pirated the software (my words, not his, obviously).

I was about to tell my wife why I had laughed out loud when I read the author's name, which made it all the funnier to me: Clinton R. Nixon. What better name could you give a person with flexible morals, really?

Now back to research...

Edit: Someone posed the question "What does the R stand for?" I suggested baRack, but I could be wrong...
