I kind of like the Pornstar naming thing. That would make my name Maxwell Tucker. Sounds cool to me.

I usually go by Brad, not very vintage sounding, but my nom de plume is usually J. Bradford Bowers or J. B. Bowers, depending on the type of work.

Maxwell Tucker, Private Eye...

 

[The Wolf]

The name is more golden age than you realized

The great thing about the name Maxwell Tucker is that the first and last name are also vintage automobiles.

The Wolf

P.S. I figure I would be called the Wolf or simply Wolf when talked to directly.

[Biltmore Bob]

My real name is a porn star name.

 

[Brad Bowers]

We could all play "Guess Biltmore Bob's Real Name," but that might reveal something about ourselves we wouldn't want others to know!

Maxwell (I only know two pornstar names, both from the 1970s) Tucker

You first Maxwell-
After you my dear Alfonse...

My nextdoor neighbour's 'porn name' is
Fluffy McDuff and her husband's is Prince Charles- he-he...

Oh, boy, let's see --

My father thought I was going to be a boy, so I was going to be Gary Lee Lightner, but then he got drafted, thought he might die in the war and so I would have been James Lee, Jr.

Mother named me Karol Diane after a young rising starlet in the 40's who rose to nowhere. I could not even find a photo or mention of her in old movie books at the time.

I don't really like either name. If I had my choice, I would prefer a name out of classical antiquity (Desdemona, Viola, Jocasta, Phaedra, Cassandra, etc.) or, better still, I would like to be named after one of the bad girls in the bible. Now those are names: Delilah, Jezebel, Bathsheba, Salome. Delilah Lightner, that sounds pretty good.... But, at least my first name is with a K, which gives it a certain uniqueness. Were I Eastern European, that would be a man's name and was the late Pope's first name.

At least I was not named after my grandmothers or my great Aunt: I would have been Ethel, Bessie, or Helen.

Porn name: I would be Texas Pickett.

Sorry, sounds more rebel than porno. Texas is fine, but Pickett does not lend itself to a porn name.

Sounds more like a yodeling cowboy name to me, Desdemona.

I can see it now, a porn movie called "Pickett's Charge."

 

[BellyTank]

If you drop the last 't' in picket, it could be a suitably pointed porn name.

James -- Actually, most of those women in the classics had bad deaths. Desdemona was the wife of a very jealous Othello and he smothered her with a pillow. Don't know if she yodeled, but she probably gasped for air more than once.

Very good, Brad. I was trying to attach other family last names to Texas, with the idea of it being a porn star's name, but found some of them too gross to mention.

There was a famous saloon gal called Texas Guinan, who ran a speakeasy in NY and other places, during prohibition. She employed women dancers, probably strippers, served booze, her bars were raided all the time. A real character.

Little Texas was the name of my late Chihuahua. I did not name him, my roomie at the time named him. Just guess where she was from?

Mexico? As in Chihooahooa, Mexico.

Yep, that is the Desdemona that I was forced to read about in English class. Interesting how they make you read this stuff that is so violent and full or treachery. That's probably why I still remember it. :beer:
There is a name for you---Yodeling Desdemona.

[K.D. Lightner]

And here I thought it would be Delilah Lightner.

Disgracing the family name.

I could keep my middle initial : Delilah D. Lightner

Now, if that it not a porn name, what is?!

Or, a thought about Desdemona, poor thing. Instead of "Salome, Where She Danced," it would be "Desdemona, Where She Choked."

Never mind! I better shut up, won't go there.....

"But I could do the 'MovieStar or (PornStar)' trick and use my first pet's name and Mother's maiden name and become 'Sylvester Palmer."

OK, I'll bite...how 'bout Trooper McGrath? The pet mother name thing...

I kinda like that one, thanks BT.

 

[Panamabob]

No offense to anyone at all....we just named our baby Evelyn, after my grandmother and Gabriella...not sure exactly except for it was the only name on my wife's favorite lists not a pop singer nor a name I see way too much at school.

I kid you not, we had a boy named Rubber in Ecuador. I'll be seeing him sometime next week so I'll see how he's doing. His mom is a wicked good dentist!
