Alrighty then,

How about Gakinohana/Gakihanada?  Or Hamana-hamana-hamana-nohana?
Heh.
Hanakuso? 

If, however, it is the "baka" component you are fond of...I humbly
submit Bakanogaki.  Or perhaps the more traditional Bakayaro. 
Bakanokaka is a nice thought, but I think the Kyokai likes Japanese
where possible, so try Bakakuso or Bakaunko or even Bakaunkokuso, if you
want the Kitakachidoki effect.  Wait...how about Bakanosho (beat)
Bakastayhome (nah, probably can't do that very well with kanji) :0)

Well, I enjoyed that, at any rate.

Gomen nasai.

There are those (ok, my wife) who have suggested that a fitting shikona
for me would be Karaatama, but it just don't swing, ya know.  All hip
shikona have "inazuma" in them somewhere.  I have already rejected
In-a-gadda-azuma, so no need to bring it up.

Again, deepest apologies.
