What are some good names for a zombie cowboy?
I'm planning to dress up as a zombie cowboy for Halloween. However, every zombie cowboy needs a name, right? What are some good, preferably punning names for an undead ranch hand? Bonus points for puns that reference Western swing or old country musicians.

How about "Stiff Carlisle", after Cliff Carlisle, a 1920s country musician.

Best answer: I like the Rot Rogers suggestion but I'd perhaps turn it around and be Roy Rot-gers

I of course meant Daniel Bone. But that doesn't really make sense either.

Quiet Slurp? (he'll slurp yer brains out!)
Of course, it's hard to get much worse than a name like John Horton Slaughter.

Response by poster: Thanks for the suggestions, everyone! There are some real gems here, but I think the hands-down winner is probably Billy the Kidaver.
