Jim, if it’s not a rude question, how old are you? ---

> [@Jim\_B](#): > > I still have no plans on changing my name. But I thought I’d throw one more thing out there for you. Back when I was quite small, I would count ordinal numbers “nineteenth, twentieth, twenty-oneth, twenty-twoth…” and so forth. Anyways, obviously there is no twenty-oneth or twoth. But that would make an interesting name– **twoth**. Because I am merely a pretender to the throne, get it? I could even shorten it to “tooth”. That would certainly keep people guessing as to what I mean. > > Also, I might as well tell you, FWIW, I once chose the temporary name (on a message board) of **Hunu**. Cause who knew it was true? Get it? Not too thought-provoking, I know. But I just thought it up on the spare of the moment, in any event. > > 🙂 > > P.S. Does this count as resurrecting a zombie thread? I honestly don’t know, cause it has only been a couple of weeks after all. Don’t you know, you’ve given away the game! That won’t do at all. Next time go for a _strike_, not a _spare_. ~Max ---

And lastly, I almost forgot to mention, my porno actor name. For some reason, your porno name is your first pet plus the street you grew up on. Mine would be **Toby Strathmoor**. What’s yours;)? 🙂 ---

Koko McCullough. That’s actually a pretty good porn star name. I think. ---

So I lived on at least three different streets growing up, and have never had a pet. I guess I’m not destined for a career in porn. On an unrelated note, I have no opinion about whether you should change your username. As you may guess I don’t expect usernames to be meaningful. ---

Hard to beat Peter O’Toole for a porn name. Too bad it’s already taken, although the original user is now a stiffie. I mean, a stiff. ---

Also FWIW _Jacobus Montana_ is the Latinized version of my name. I wonder if that fact would be useful outside message boards. Hmmm. (I don’t mean to resurrect a dead thread. But I did mean to include this fact originally too.:)) What are the Latinized versions of your names? ---

Still no plans on changing my name. But I might as well add. I was also thinking of _Jacomus_. ‘James’ is actually derived from Jacomus, not Jacobus like some people think. But would people get the reference? Because I know some people on these boards are pretty smart I know. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/jimbee/832851.md?page=2)
