Has this been played before on the board? It's a party game of one or two year's standing. Your hooker (or drag, or porn star) name is figured out the following way:

first name: your first childhood pet

last name: the street you grew up on.

Therefore, mine would be "Tiki Greentree." I work with "Brandy Buckingham" and (the winnah!) "Midnight Cherry."

We've all played this game before, and some variations are using your middle name/pets name/street name in a variety of orders.

Mine would be Gina George, not bad, but I'm a guy so the pets name doesn't quite fit.

"Mommycat East Capital" doesn't quite sound right.

My 2nd pet/street combo, "Bob Parkwood", is better.

Cleo 94th Street. Not very sexy. All my addresses have been numerical, so this game just doesn't work for me at all.

If we include middle names, I could be Rusty Joy. Sounds like a hoooker who hasn't had a trick in a while.

I was just a kid - he was a rabbit. One day he wasn't there and my Mum said he'd gone to a better place. I thought he'd died - but no!
She told me years later that he was an 'active' bunny and so he went to a farm and fathered a lot of bunnies....

Bruno Thicket here. The last name needs a little work.

Something similar I was taught on a trip to a friend's cabin one time - First name = high school mascot, last name = mother's maiden name to get your porn star name. By that convention my porno name is Bulldog Linn (I have a feeling that a few of the Georgia contingent will have "Bulldog" as a porno first name). Another guy on the trip had a porno name of "Ram Ramirez." One couple showed up late. When the girl walked through the door, we asked her what her high school mascot was. She replied "Beaver." Than we asked her mom's maiden name. She said "Hunter." We busted.

I have heard many variations on this game. I'll go through the ones here and the ones i remember.


I have two choices for my hooker first name, Either spock or tor(avich)

so it would be:
Spock Lynscott or Tor Lynscott. Hmm not good.

Using Straingers way it would be:
Spartan Edwards...hmm sounds like it could be a band name...The Spartan Edwards.

Another way for the porn name is to take your middle name, and then the name of your current street: James Lynscott...... That actually works.

For Hooker or Drag Queen name, take your dogs name, and then your mothers maiden name: Sara Edwards (it used to be Puzzle Edwards)

I was a Navy brat so i didn't grow up on one street.
The rules that I was taught was the first name is the name of your first pet and the second one is your mothers maiden name.
So my name is Scruffy Baker. (I just asked a friend of mine what his name would be and he said Collette Dwiggins. i love it!)

I don't have a pet now but, using the name of my most recent pet, I'd be Scarlett Sunset. Heh.

Good heavens, all the sports teams at my high school were the Quakers - the fighting Quakers, no less.

If I add ma's maiden name, I get Quaker Hill. I like it...I think.

The name of the street I live on is the same as my last name and my middle name is my father's. I'm sure my father would be just thrilled to see his name in the credits of my debut piece of porn. My first pet was a "Penny", not sure that would work for a man.

Flora's Way (first pet, street name):
Fish Wyanoke, the aromatic madame.

(Fish was a chocolate Labrador retreiver. Dad wanted a fish, the rest of the family wanted a dog, so we got a dog and named her Fish.)

Strainger's Version (high school mascot, mother's maiden name):
Lion Winters

Doobie's Version (middle name, current street):
Stephens Whitewater <--- pretty cool!

I LOVE THIS GAME! I've been laughing for a half hour.
