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.

I don’t think I’m going to have much of a porn career as ‘Arf Bogue’.

That said, it’s yours if you wish it.

At our last house we lived near the corner of Regis St. and Bucktrout Ave., one day while driving past the sign I realized that **Regis Bucktrout** might be the greatest pseudonym ever. Since I have never needed to use it, I bequeath it unto you.

My personal false name that I use all the time in video games and such is Hondo Botswana. That’s what I’d change my username to if I hadn’t used up my one shot already.

I think my ‘porn name’ would work out to “Fuzz-Buzz Route 286.” Which is… not sexy. Additionally, if the pet name carries any weight in that equation, I think I’d be limited to incontinence porn. And no thank you, I don’t need any links seeking to prove what a potentially lucrative subgenre that is.

I’m frankly dubious that it’s even possible to outclass the name “Nighttrain Calhoun.” Let’s face it: no matter how tough or competent you are, sooner or later you’re going to find yourself at a point in your life so low that your only option is to seek out the advice of Nighttrain Calhoun.

When asked for a name for no good reason by websites, I typically give Poop Doodoo. Ms. Doodoo is female, and was born January 1, 1900.

I once had a subscription to _Macworld_ in the name of Utter Poppycock.
