What’s in a name?

[Crusoe]

Inspired by the idea that you can make your “porn star name” from your first pet’s name and your mother’s maiden name, other pseudonyms have been discussed on the radio. So I thought I’d share these (and my names) with you:-

Star Wars Name

Your first car and any medication you currently take.

I’m not particularly impressed with this one, which makes me either Mini Opticrom or Mini Beconase. “Mini” doesn’t sound like a dynamic star warrior to me.

Punk Rocker Name

This is a it better. You take your father’s (or mother’s, if you’re female) middle name and the last thing you ought.

This makes me Jim Sandwich, which I quite like. (Well, actually it’s James Sandwich but that’d be daft).

My favourite though, is the

West Indian Cricketer Name

This is the surname of the person who was American President when you were born together with the last coastal place you visited.

This makes me Nixon Greatstone, which I like rather a lot. I could imagine coming in at No 5 and batting quite solidly and also bowling a bit of left-arm orthodox. Obviously I have an over-active imagination.

Do these give any of you particularly good names? Do you know of any others?

I’m not convinced about these Star Wars ones, at all. MG Glucosaminesulphate sounds like a Management Consultant

Gosh, I think I’ve a picture of her:-

My goodness, Nursie, you do look good for your age. Lincoln Littlehampton? Opening bat, I think.

[Pooka]

He he he... good thread. ;D

I'd Civic Privine on Star Wars.

Punk-rocker Marie Tortilla (tor-TEE-ah).

And West Indian Cricketer Nixon Redondo.




Can't help all the Spanish-sounding names,
liveen so close to de border, m'ang.

[Captain Nudnick]

In Star Wars, I'm Consul Nifedipene
As a Windies Cricketer, I'm Roosevelt Bosham

I would never be a 'Punk Rocker' - besides, my father didn't have a middle name... he always felt he had been cheated out of something over that!

[fingerpost]

Star Wars: CooperAntiEmetic

Punk Rocker: CooperAntiEmetic

West Indies: Reagan Stanley

We've got a baby on the Island...



Welcome to you, lil' fingerpost!

[Nurse Duckett]

Excuse me folks. PooksieWooksie, I left an image display thang for you down in the cellar. No point IMing you if you're gonna post as a lurker Guest, you just won't see the darned thang.

Thanks for informing me, but where is the cellar?


Oh, I do receive Message Notification in my emailbox if there is a special Desert Island IM waiting for me. I don't let those slip by.

[PooksieWooksie]

Good gawd, don't start raggin' on my guest name.




LOL

Down there. Sigh.

I too, should like to know. I could do it with the previous version, but can't find the right button to press with this v.

Oh, good game, Crusoe.

Star Wars: I am Polo Echinacea.
Or, if we are talking "motorised vehicle" rather than the wheelist term "car" - Bantam Echinacea.

Punk Rocker: Emily Crisps. Or Emily Cottage-Cheese, since I bought them both at the same time.

West Indian Cricketer: a bit more credible - Eisenhower Newbiggin. (I feel a new BBCi nick coming on ...)

[Nursie just off now]

HI Lux, where you been, gal?

The email alert thing? I found it, switched it on, then switched if off again because it just means two things to check. (the email address I used to register here is one I never use except for registering for things)

Go to your IM box. Click on preferences, it looks like a hammer thing. Pretty soon in there you'll find a couple of things to click about email alerts.

Hope that helps and nice to see you again!

Nursie

apols to Crusoe for interposing this techiestuff in his thread.

Busy, busy. I've been having the odd lurk and thinking "ooh, exciting, must get on there and post tomorrow" ... then busy, busy again. It's m***** d****** season, you know - so many demands on my time.
