Actually, do the first show without a name and let the listeners vote one for you from a call-in contest. ---

Well, he did say it was a top fourty station so how about something a little more…smooth n’ smarmy, such as Tom O’Dell, or John Blue, Jack T. Lad or John Clever. Something stolen from a fairytale, in other words, but still sounding like a mundane name. P.S. I stole the name, “the Deathly Pallor” from a Strongbad Email along the same lines as this question: [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/radio](http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/radio) ---

Mike Rofone Elpee Spinner There’s a local guy here named **Andy Beanstalk** except I think he spells it “Bienstock” or something. He does a jazz show nightly on the npr station. Don, of “Don & Mike” is called “Don Geronimo”. Seems like there’s not too many DJ’s out there with weird FIRST names. Maybe something short and memorable, with an “active” last name. . . Joe Spinner Mike Forest Alvin Burns Or a cool, rhytmic name. . . Jo-el Lemmington Nick Lipton Leslie Messer Something vaguley reminiscent of a scoundrel. . . Alden Hiss Charlie Mansor Ted Dunby ---

> [@don't ask](#): > > Or Doctor Maybe, perhaps. Or Doctor Perhaps, maybe. Doctor Perhaps-Maybe? Maybe-Perhaps? I like the idea of having a call-in show where people suggest a name for you or vote on what name you should have. You could play particularly wacky or funny calls on the air.
