I need some good pseudonyms

[panamag8or]

I write travel guide content for a travel website, and a lot of that is articles. The boss said we should use some pseudonyms every so often, so that the readers don't see the same name on each article. I have used some obscure character names from Saturday Night Live, but I wanted to get some ideas from the good people of the Lounge.

I'm looking for names that aren't immediately obvious, but still sort of an "inside joke" to those in the know. Of course, they have to sound like real names; "Fibber McGee" won't work.

 

[Quigley Brown]

Dusty Rhodes
L. Camino
Otto Baughn

Flip through some classic books by Alexandre Dumas or Bram Stoker, all kinds of interesting names, (English and foreign,) can be found there.

Well, I can always list off the Bart Simpson style names, or there are some tricks you can use. Find a product in a foreign language and add a first name or get a word you like in another language and add -ly, -ski,-kev, or any other last name additions you can.
For example
Stetson

Jack Steson

Jack Stetsorski

You can get really creative.

I have 1921 class photo from some snobby New England private boys school that has the student's name. You'll love some of these:

Prescott Butler Huntington
Winslow Lewis

They don't make them like that anymore!
