No more OR no longer (following an adjective)

As an adjective, which is the proper way?


two dimensional no longer

or

two dimensional no more

Or are both correct / wrong? I realize that "no longer two dimensional" is probably the best form, but it's for a title of something, so "two dimensional" needs to be first.

Thanks!

Well, the problem is that the phrase makes no sense to me-- besides which there is no requirement for adverbs to follow adjectives in titles. Could we try something a little more normal? 1--He is no longer single.

1--He is no longer single.
2-- He is single no longer.
3-- He is no more single.(X)
4-- He is single no more.

Only #3 does not work.

I'm going to use it as an online username, and I wanted to make sure that I wasn't grammatically incorrect.

Would the following be correct?

2d No More / Two Dimensional No More

From your reply it seems like it would be, but I just want to make sure you understand what I'm asking.

'2d' doesn't say 'two dimensional' to me, but the headline grammar is OK.
