I prefer the -ophanes like Aristophanes and Cellophanes

You ought to drop it casually in a quote context: "As the famous philosopher Cellophanes said: Sometimes life spanks you right in the ass"

As the great Cellophanes once said: “I can see clearly now the rain is gone”

How about the -phones? Like Persephone, Telephone, and Megaphone?

Xylophone would be a great greek name.
