In my younger days, I enjoyed building and tinkering with electronic music kits (synthesizers) and such. When ordering or writing for info, if there was a line for “company name” I always put Radon Music because I lived in my parents’ basement. ---

Mine’s the name of a video game character from about 30 years ago- Zeke Weasel. He was the bearded hillbilly wrestler in Epyx Championship Wrestling, and has a name that’s _almost_ realistic. If I’m browsing car buying sites or other places guaranteed to get phone calls, etc… I tend to use a particular college roommate’s name, and a bogus phone number, in hopes that car salesmen will get froggy and google him, and then plague him with phone calls. ---

I used to have a deployment name tag I would wear at air shows that has me as “Hugh Jorgen” (since I am no longer the rank on the tag, it was handed down). ---

I haven’t before, but from now on, I’ll use Tad Cooper. Tad can be unisex, right? Given a fake phone number on internet web sites can annoy strangers. Someone’s invented phone number turned out to be mine, and I got a rash of calls from loan places. It took a bit of effort to get off all of the call lists. ---

Starbucks always slays my real first name, so now I’m Sterling. Yes, as in Archer. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-your-alias/750207.md?page=2)
