I am just curious to know if anyone here comes from a culture in which people are given secret names. Obviously I’m not asking to be told any secrets.
Yes. It’s “twickster.”
Wow, I would never have guessed. :rolleyes:
It’s not so much a “secret” name as one most people won’t call me to my face…
Not a culture, more of a tradition. Another person might know it, but the one time I wrote it down it was deliberately misspelled.
How was the name chosen (if you can say)?
Christopher Keith Sundheim :o
Now I have to kill you,
Where do you live
and what do you look like?
As someone who was raised Mormon and received the Endowment in the Temple, I have a secret name.
There was some numerology and an English-Irish dictionary, both to nail down the spelling, but the name isn’t chosen, it just is.
You already know your true name they say, the trick is learning to remember it. Or something like that, it’s been a while.
Well, obviously it’s not Sir Blah.
Fantastic!

I didn’t belong to a fraternity, but don’t they give out secret names?
“Your name is Flounder.”
Sharkbait! (Ooh-ha-ha!)
…Sorry, I have three small children aged 8, 6 and 3, and now have Finding Nemo etched in a 24k solid state gold record on the Voyager satellite of my soul.
Yes. Mine is John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt
Slartibartfast.
[sub]No, really, I used that on exactly one BBS back in the day.[/sub]
That’s my name too!
I have a secret name, but I’m not telling YOU!
Satch
(Doh!)
Bob.
My secret title is “Sir Not-Appearing-in-This-Thread”.
Enjoy,

Puddin’ 'n Tame. Now ask me again.
I knew quite a few Navajos when I lived in New Mexico, as well as various Pueblo Indians. I think the Navaos have secret names and maybe some of the Pueblos, too.
