Carlsen?
Sounds like a lager beer to me... 
Rather than cool, I would say the name is REFRESHING...
Playing chess keeps him off the booze.

Marcel Duchamp. He was not a GM (more on the Master level, at his time), but I think he deserves being mentioned, especially because his contribution to chess is at least as valuable as that of any GM.
Oh come on, we all know Sergey CarJackin has the coolest name ever. Oh heck, I just now remembered, she may have the coolest name ever: Irina Krush, or simply I. Krush. How Awesome is that?
I Krush

She should start a chess university. It would be called : I Krush U
Yes, exactly! I Krush U would be a great name for a chess school. She just earned her GM title. A real one, not the other kind.

It's a good thing his last name wasn't Cox or Peters or something like that!
Sorry for this oversight !
