My real name yields the firstnameless but amusing **Goodwife Heard** , while my screen name gives me a sex change and a stupid name: **Cuthbert Cuthbertson**. I mean, what the hell is that? ---

Another freakin’ Oswald Proctor checking in for my real name. My screenname, however, is damn cool. **Fear Legg** Sounds like a Stephen King villain. ---

“Cuthbert Cuthbertson?” I mean, not that it’s not a perfectly lovely name, but isn’t it a bit . . . Ummm, male? ---

Real name: Oswald Proctor screen name: Mary Willard At least I got the right gender with my screen name. ---

Hmmm, using a variety of married and maiden names, I got: Ezekiel Wildes, Cuthbert Cuthbertson, Alice Snow, Barbara Rand, Prudence Osgoode, Issac Pratt, and Robert Brewster. This generator evidently has a limited vocabulary, and doesn’t do gender very well, either. Wonder if it can get an update? ---

My real name gives me the pilgrim name: **Goodwife Heard** It’s amusing and the gender is correct too. My screen name, like **Ogre’s** , yields **Fear Legg**. What gender is Fear anyways? ---

Kricket = Fear Legg. Maybe we are all related? Birth name = Nicholas Baker. I feel so butch! Shortened birth name = Bridget Flood. Decent. Kricket + maiden name = Patience Jameson. Something I lack. Birth name + maiden name = Goodwife Heard! Someone must have known something when they named me being I ended up married with a heard of five heathens. 😃 ---

Robert Brewster - My real name, and **daughter’s** screen-name Hannah Proctor - PlanDaughter’s real name AND her (ex-male) cat’s name \ Thomas Goode - PlanWife Patience Jameson - my common, shorter real name Prudence Osgoode - my cat (ex-female, yay got one right) Charles Dix - PlanWife’s cat (ex-female) Barbara Rand - PlanMan, and it doesn’t matter if it is the first name, last name, or split Plan/Man Those Pilgrims were a lot more gender confused than they taught us in school. ---

Cuthbert Cuthbertson from my real name. Mary Willard from Zebra. [sigh] When will the world accept that **Zebra** is a mans name? ---

Real Name: Goodwife Heard #4 Board Name: Isaac Pratt I was really hoping to be another Fear Legg. Oddly, feeding Isaac Pratt into the generator results in…Isaac Pratt. ---

Bridget Flood? That can’t be right, I’m a HIM and not a HER. Let’s try this with my user name… Ezekiel Wildes… now that has a nice ring to it. ---

Real name yields: Charles Dix. User name yields: Charles Dix. …I’d like to point out that a.) My real name is absolutely, positively, NOTHING like my alias, and, b.) My real name ends with an “a”. In most cultures, that signifies a female is being referred to… ::sigh.:: That is a sad, sad little generator… The pilgrims _must_ have had some more interesting names than these. It’s pathetic. ---

Using only “January” I got Bridget Flood. My real name + January’s last name = Prudence Osgoode. January + my last name = Cuthbert Cuthburtson Using only my real name = Daniel Bucket. My dog’s name = Alice Snow. My dog’s name + family name = Thomas Goode. Apparently the website was too good for mix-and-match first and last names. Darn regularity, we don’t need it… “And that’s just wrong! With a capital ‘R’!” ---

Well, I tried “Steve Wright” and became one of the Goodwife Heards. So I changed the “Steve” to “Stephen” and became one of the Mary Willards. Either there is something wrong with this software, or the Pilgrim Fathers contained a lot more swingers than is generally supposed. ---
