Aha! Nevrmind, Firestarter was available, so I used that.
I almost always end up with a 2-word name. Much larger name space. . . "Living Flame" or "Human Blaze" is much more likely to be free than just "Flame" or "Blaze". There's also titles (Dr. Inferno, Commander Flashover, etc.) if you don't mind the inevitable mocking. "Dr. Pyrocaust, I've got this problem with my shoulder..." And first or last names. ("Bond. Incendiary Bond. And this is my friend, Pyroclastic Jack Caustic.")
I have a friend who works hard on getting one-word names. But she ends up with Sidereal, Elementary, names like that.
Good luck.

So you think you're a hero, huh.

Aaand timing is everything.

Heh, I had the same trouble when picking a name for my fire/fire blaster (due to being created on one of the two most populated servers), because every single obvious fire related name had been taken already... after all, the game is 5 years old.
So you're going to have to do a little thinking outside of the box here and try using a bit of word play. For example, I chose "Arson Al" (i.e. arsenal)... yeah, it isn't the greatest name in the world, but it fits the toon and is better than "Generic 00100301". 
Doh!!!
Oh well, glad you found something you could use. 
Yeah, I was thinking in terms of WW2 imagery, too. I tried all sorts of variations on firebomb, pyre and pyro, heat, and so on.
Tried Human Blaze (though I figured it would be genericed before long), but it was ALSO taken.
Anyway, thanks for the replies!

Might want to be careful with that one, though. A bit of a stretch, but there is a Stephen King book by that name whose lead character's thing was fire powers, as the name implied. Depending on who sees it and the GM that gets it, the stretch may not be too far for a generic.

I realize it's too late, but another workable suggestion would be Blue Inferno, especially if you have a blue costume. With Power Customization coming soon, you could color your flames blue as well.
I've been trying to come up with a name for a new character, but I'm having a tremendous amount of difficulty.
He's a Fire/Fire Blaster, based loosely on the original Human Torch. I originally wanted to call him Inferno, but that was taken, naturally. Thus, I began trying alternatives. I've been using an online thesaurus, and even have used a small L in place of a capital I for words like Inferno, but literally everything I have tried is unavailable.
Has anyone any suggestions that might take me in a different direction?
I've tried variations of Pyre/Fire/Burn/Blaze/Inferno/Ember/Heat/etc. but any suggestions are welcome. It's becoming intensely frustrating after two days of searching for a name.
