Try this. Evidently, this “translates” your name into what it would be if you were a member of the Wu-Tang Clan. [www.recordstore.com/cgi-bin/wuname/wuname.pl](http://www.recordstore.com/cgi-bin/wuname/wuname.pl) I put in my real first and last name, and now I am: **Top-Heavy Hookjaw** Sweet. ---

I plugged in my “regular” first name (actually, middle) and last name and got this: Auxiliary Priest. Then I plugged in my real first name and last name and got this: Big Gay Mule I kid you not. ---

This was not a gratifying exercise for me. Turns out I’m to be known as **Victorian Cow**. My wife’s maiden name is **The 23rd Buchan** but after her marriage she is now **The Visible Choirboy**. ## I don’t want to play anymore. “To do her justice, I can’t see that she could have found anything nastier to say if she’d thought it out with both hands for a fortnight.” Dorothy L.

Hey! **Canadian Sue** – Either you and my wife have the same name or you’ve both got some serious gender issues. You’re not her, are you? Honey? Is that you? I’d better check all my old posts to see if I said anything derogatory about my wife!! ---
