My porn name is Snazzy Vashon not too bad. I submit **Rudigar Jason Mattenopoulos** My friend and I came up with a weekend coming up with that name. Imagine our sadness when we discovered that there’s a **Stroumboulopoulos** in the world, and he’s got a gorram [TV show!](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Stroumboulopoulos) showoff. ---

I once found someone who rejoiced in the name Vimal Dikshit. Since then moments of boredom have unearthed people with names such as Jesus Ponce, Ashita Pant, Xenoulla Xenophontos, Tony Richerand, and so on. I usually use one of those. Based on these experiences, it’s highly likely that somewhere a speaker of a foreign language is typing in my name and cackling at the idea of some foreign idiot with a name that translates to Dungbeetle Whitewash or whatever. ---

I almost hired a man because his actual name was Dr. Alex Tomic (Doctor A Tomic) I’m going with Jim Newcastle. Jim sounds like the kind of guy who just blew into town for the big sales conference and is looking for a couple of hookers and a bottle of scotch to pass the time. ---

[QUOTE=Omegaman] I like it. Made me think of Snake Plisskin. [/QUOTE] Your name (Wyatt MacReady) gave me the idea. First name of a Kurt Russel character followed by the last name of a Kurt Russel character. Wyatt MacReady Snake Cash Stuntman Zane Bull Presley Rudy Earp Captain Hightower And so on… ---
