Pseudonym Pservice
Jun192009
A friend of mine–you all know Rox, right, huge celebrity on Ravelry?–posted on a list we’re on this list of pseudonym generators (we have a mutual friend who’s choosing one now). (Rox says she found it on another web site that had found it on another website, but I’m citing Rox.) I read it and laughed and then got completely caught up in it. I’d seen the porn star one before, but this list is just . . . a wonderful time sink. So here you go, eleven ways to choose a pseudonym, brought to you by Rox:
1. YOUR PORN STAR NAME: (Name of first pet / Street you live on):
2. YOUR MOVIE STAR NAME: (Name of your favorite snack food / Grandfather’s first name):
3. YOUR FASHION DESIGNER NAME: (First word you see on your left / Favorite restaurant)
4. EXOTIC FOREIGNER ALIAS: (Favorite Spice / Last Foreign Vacation Spot):
5. SOCIALITE ALIAS: (Silliest Childhood Nickname / Town Where You First Partied):
6. “FLY Boy” ALIAS (a la J. Lo): (First Initial / First Two or Three Letters of your Last Name):
7. ICON ALIAS: (Something Sweet Within Sight / Any Liquid in Your Kitchen):
8. DETECTIVE ALIAS: (Favorite Baby Animal / Where You Went to High School):
9. BARFLY ALIAS: (Last Snack Food You Ate / Your Favorite Alcoholic Drink):
10. SOAP OPERA ALIAS: (Middle Name / Street Where You First Lived):
11. ROCK STAR ALIAS: (Favorite Candy /Last Name Of Favorite musician ):
My faves for my next pseudonym are:
4. EXOTIC FOREIGNER ALIAS: Rosemary Auckland
6. “FLY Boy” ALIAS (a la J. Lo): J Cru. (Why does that sound familiar?)
7. ICON ALIAS: Veronica Milk
11. ROCK STAR ALIAS: Snickers Springfield
I think it’s got to be Snickers Springfield. I can see that on a book cover. Embossed in foil.
What on YOUR bookcover?
Note: Holly just pointed out that the answers to some of these are also answers to security questions, so you may want to cheat on some of the personal things like “street you live on.” Who would know?

I was filling out the first list on Facebook, when I realized that lots of answers to security questions are embedded in the list. Maybe I’m over the top paranoid, but I thought that I would take all of that off-line from now on.

Security questions. Street you live on, grandfather’s first name, where you went to high school, middle name, street where you first lived, right? So maybe use other streets, names, etc. for those?
Also I have just realized that somebody might think my fav musician was Rick Springfield. It’s Dusty, people, DUSTY.

You know Peaches Lafayette, Gigi Melbourne, and Cinnamon Francisco could all be characters in this series I’m thinking about writing (remember Liz Danger?). So be warned, your porn name could end up in novel.
Peaches Lafayette. Imagine the possibilities.

Most of mine weren’t very fun–boring names in my life–but I had to laugh over my fashion designer name: Gevalia Outback… Carmello Tequilla has a ring to it, however, as my barfly alias!

Too funny! I have to say, I love, love, love “Peaches Lafayette!” There’s something so . . . southern damsel/steel magnolia about it. Me, M.Yam doesn’t really do it for me (Emya? maybe, maybe not). But, I could go for Cookie Ray as my movie star name.
This would be soooo useful to have had when I was setting up new mail accounts! LOL! Very fun!

TRIX TEQUILA
I dig it except it sounds like Trix is short for Trixie so I need something more masculine
