Things like ‘What’s your porn star name / Star Wars name’ etc. accompanied by the appropriate formula. Could anyone kindly save me a ton of trawling, and list any examples they know?
Minor side issue. Like FOAF/urban myth stories, these things seem to get started without anyone being able to say who, how, why or when. If y’all have any clues as to the origins of any examples you cite, that would be cool. But it’s the examples and formulas (formulae?) that I’m really after.
A certain female friend of mine tells me that you can find your pornstar name by combining your mother’s maiden name with the name of the street you grew up on. In her case it’s “Beaver Paradise.” Draw your own conclusions.
I just want to go on record as hating this thread. I can be convinced that it belongs in GQ if someone supplies a history of this sort of game, where it first started, &cetera.
If it’s just a list of “here’s the way we do it,” I’m going to close the thread.
Apologies, Manhattan. I didn’t mean to rile you, and I wasn’t trying to start an unwelcome thread. In any case, nobody so far has really provided the kind of info I was after, which was just different variants and their formulas, plus any provenance if known.
It’s your forum, and I’m just a guest, so kill it if you hate it that much. I did consider posting to MPSIMS instead but in the end it just seemed to fit GQ best of all.
bah, manhattan’s justa grouch.
But I’m betting it will end up in IMHO if enough people throw in formulas.
But the best formula I know of for generating porn star names in general is the My Little Pony one from Brunching Shuttlecocks. http://www.brunching.com/toys/toy-pornorpony.html
