My boss already laid claim to the best one I’ve ever heard–Nighttrain Calhoun. I will one-up him. I will move more with superior tau.

Bring it on.

Rhett Dream–I always wanted that as my porno name. It hasn’t happened yet, so the name is yours.

Not exactly what you’re asking for, but my general rule of thumb when I need a fake name for privacy’s sake is to take a low-key politician’s name and tweak a couple of letters. For example, Julian Carson, or Fred Stevens, John Kyle, Karl Levine, David Ritter, etc.

Do the porn name thing. Your first name is the name of your first pet. Your surname is the name of the first street you lived on.

If I did that my name would be Stubby Weems. I’m not getting a real porn vibe off of that name (I have girl bits).

My favourite ones, from “The Day Today”, are Collaterly Sisters and Remedy Malahide.

Use him wisely… use him in peace.

However, if I move up the timeline a bit, I get: Saxon Kershaw.
