What is your pseudonym?

I know we all have usernames here, and that’s all well and good, but I want to know which name you’d use to check into a hotel anonymously or similar.

Would you use a humorous pun?
The name of a person you admire?
Something generic like John Doe?
A name you heard once and thought “hey, that’s cool, wish I was called that”?
An anagram of your real name?
Your favourite TV, Film or literary character?

Come on- who would you be?

A. Nonnimouse

Mark Twain.

J.G Wentworth.

Taras Bulba.

Jackson Queenes

Belvedere Jehosophat.

George Kaplan signs in to a surprising number of Chicago office building lobbies.

Gladys McGillicuddy. That’s the name we plan to use at work when someone calls I don’t want to talk to. “Oh, you need to speak to Gladys, but she’s out this week for a ski vacation!” “Oh, yes, you called last week to speak to Gladys. Well, she’s out this week in the hospital. She broke her leg skiing!”

Willard R. Biscuit, from a character in Grump magazine.

Ophelia Longbottom.

Sheryl Cooper.

John Jacob Jinglehiemer Schmidt.

Rock Strongo. Or if the hotel clerk didn’t buy it then Lance Uppercut.

Ratzkywatzky or something. :wink:

Either Mahatma Kane Jeeves or Professor Eustace P. McGargle.

Mr. Mojo Rising

Unless I’m trying very hard not to be found, I’d probably check in under a translation of my real name, into French or German. Jacques Leroy, or Jakob Koenig.

Or combine that with ‘fictional character that I like’ and go Spanish, taking the current Blue Beetle’s civilian name, Jaime Reyes.

If I AM trying really hard not to be found, then I’d just choose a random first name, and a random last name from the phone book. Or go the cliché route and go with ‘John Smith’.

Jonathan S. Tuttle

Vlad Tepes
