Funny… with my diminutive name (Jen) I am also Tha 23rd Buchan. My full name makes me Touchy-Feely Unpublished Poet.

Ha!

Hey, “Partially-Formed Transformah” is the name they assigned my wife! WTF is up with that? I, on the other hand, am “Alarmingly-Named Wolfman.” Beware.

Hey, Eutychus and I are Wu-brothers!!!

I’m an **“Excitable Misunderstood Genius”** as well. It almost knocked me over when I read it. It’s so truuuuue!

Okay, for what it’s worth. Mine comes out as **Superintendent God-Botherer** , which is slightly better than the corporate position I currently occupy: **Lead Buffoon** (it’s on at least one of my business cards, I swear).

Interestingly, when I replaced my common first name with my uncommon middle one … I got the same result. Changing it to other nonsense words got different names, maybe I really am blessed and should build a staff and start bothering Gods. Tomorrow, I’m running a career ad, I swear.

I was **Radiophonic Oddity**.

I can say I’m too disappointed in that. Kinda catchy.

Just catching up after reading all the responses.

Val, looks like you and me got some “special” circumstances to sort out. How odd, that her and I cross paths.

Did anybody read the fine print at the bottom of the page when you scroll down.

It says “By filling in your name and clicking Wu am I, I agree to switch to to MCI.” Hello new long distance carrier.
