007
The ballroom surname for a walker with no house — a free agent.
Definitions
In ballroom, your house is your surname — you walk as a member of House of X. If you've got no house, you carry '007' (said 'double-oh-seven') as your last name. It marks you as a free agent: unaffiliated, unclaimed, walking for yourself until a house mother or father invites you in. No shame in it, but everyone knows what it means.

Origin & Usage
Ballroom culture. Borrowed from James Bond's '007' — the lone-agent connotation fits a walker with no house affiliation.
