Help Spencer Come Up with a Better Name

As iconic names go, "Spencer Pratt" is probably not going to reach the magnitude of a "Madonna" or a "Prince." Such a shame considering the immense talents being stifled by a rather mediocre moniker. So Pratt has decided to legally change his name to something he thinks is more appropriate for his station in life: "King Spencer Pratt."
Dude. It's been done: The aforementioned "Prince." Michael Jackson's two "Prince Michaels." Fergie Ferg, aka "The Duchess." Perez Hilton, aka the (self-proclaimed) "Queen of All Media." A budding megalomaniac needs a name that will do more than add a chuckle to an all royalty-name-themed "SNL" sketch. And, no, some kind of snappy shortened hyphenization will not work -- where "K-Fed" is genius "S-Pratt" sounds like what happens when my dog has too much people food.
So let's tap our creativity to help Spencer come up with a better name. Something that suits him down to the ground and will further him along his road to world dominance. Checking out Pratt's Twitter feed might provide some inspiration.
Share your suggested names below. The best entry -- as judged by me and a panel of post.commers -- wins a "Brad Pitt for Mayor" T-shirt. Random, but true. Winner announced tomorrow a.m. in this space.

He's already got a name that suits him down to the ground and truly describes him -- he just needs to lose a "t."

How about just changing his last name to "Who" as in "Spencer Who?"
Then I would like to see him and Heidi wear matching "I'm with dummy" t-shirts

I'm no good at this game, but if it can include this fued with Ryan Seacrest that he's trying to create, I'd vote for that one.

DissSpencer? Take it as a diss, or take it as something from which other things (in this case, eternal generic blandness) emanates. Then for short, DS ("dee-ess") as in, "Why are we even wasting time talking about such DS?"

If he wants to follow English tradition, why not just call him The Pratt? (if I remember me English, the word's a synonym for a useless dolt)

I don't know, I think "Pratt" is pretty descriptive.

I'm all for his suggested name change, if we drop his first name. King Pratt, as in king of the prats.

AS someone mentioned this morning, Dipsh!t always works.
Also, Heincer is classic due to the connotation.
I would also like to nominate A$$hat, Astrotard, Tardonaut or "Citizen" Pratt.
