Oh, and thank you **Venus Probe** for aborting what could have been an amusing thread by linking to that “generator.” Now what we will see, for the most part, is just reports of what it shat out. ---

I wanna just be known as “Noodles” But I suspect, being as I’m a coward, I’d be known as “Chicken Noodles” ---

Um… cross your fingers and run in fear of **"The Quill"**!!! Or not… But maybe I can get away with something like: **Frankie the Fox** , using the Scumpup’s algorithm. Ooh, I just checked on the other name people call me. **Stu “The Clam”** … beware my bivalvious wrath! Huh, I’m not much of a mobster, am I? ---

My wife and I have a game we play with each other. One of us will look at our greyhound and “translate” what the dog is saying to the other person. He’s got a huge honker that bends to the side when he lays on it so I decided he must be Sicilian. He became Frankie Da Nose. Frankie would inform “the moll” that he did not appreciate the encroachment of his turf. It showed disrespect. IOW move over. I want more couch space. One night I came home from work and met the pooch at the door. In my best Chicago mob voice I say, “Hey! Frankie Da Nose!” My wife fired back, “Hey! Johnny Da Forehead!” She was laughing like a maniac. I’m balding by the way. In case any of you are as foolish as I was, I don’t recommend retorting with, “Hey! Sammy Da Ass!” It went over about as well as you might think. -Johnny Da Forehead ---

From the link, I’m Brahe “Dreamboat” Silver. I’m not sure how much I like that, but using my name I get “The Bastard,” which is a lot better. ---

Instead of stealing a nickname from the Mob Name Generator, I decided to steal from Monty Python. (well at least the middle name). I figured Wolf (obviously) would be a good first name and I finally settled on a last name and so I got: **Wolf “Two Sheds” Delvecchio"** ---

my mob nickname would have to be “Chainsaw” in honor of an accident during my highschool years and the subsequent facial scars (you should see the other guy! 😉 ) Chainsaw Beast… I LIKE it!!! Mods… can I get my handle changed?!? ---

Hey, I just tried a celebrity’s name in the mob-name generator, and it actually made sense this time. Who defeats his enemies with the stroke of a pen? **Cecil “The Quill” Adams** , of course. ---

According to **VenusProbe’s** link, mine is **Fancy Pants**. If you use my full name (and not the short form), it’s **Napalm**. Personally, I’d choose **Big Pussy** \*. \*see, it’s funny because I’m a pacifist ---
