What’s In A Name Generator?
I swore that I wouldn’t cross-post anything at HC that first appeared on my own blog. This isn’t exactly a cross-post so I’m not exactly a liar except in a mavericky way. (Btw, McCain really puts the ick in maverick, doesn’t he?) I recently posted a link to the Sarah Palin name generator. It’s been a big hit with the kids so I thought y’all might like to mess around with it as well. LINK. My current Palin name is Stake Shed. I’m bummed: I wanna be Scrimshaw.
Speaking of name generators, one of the all-time best read Adrastos posts featured a link to the mafia name generator. I posted it eons ago (in interweb terms) and I keep getting comments. So, here’s a LINK to it as well. Just call me, Del Murder. I dunno, that sounds a bit Midwestern to me; sort of like Maitri Venkat-Ramani. Disclaimer: the preceding was a joke about a friend who is proud of her Buckeye and Badger roots. She makes a mean cheesehead chana too..
Now that I’ve recycled some material, it’s time to hit you upside the head with some new shtick. Smack. That’s right, yet another name generator, the Unitarian Jihad one. LINK. My UUJ name is Brother Battleaxe of Compassion. I dunno about the compassion part though. HC’s zany founder’s handle is the Very Reverend of Crimson Fire Lovingkindness. Damn, those Unitarians do go on just like…uh…Loki.

You are one scary critter, Morwen.

Hey, I got my very Wisconsinite father-in-law to spell my first and last names correctly, which makes them officially Midwestern now.

Morwen and I are related….I am also a cat o nine tails….of sympathy!

Adrastos,
One must grow where they are planted.
Dr. A- Hey there sis!

Some friends and I had great fun a few years back with the Porn Star Name Generator. Take as your first name your first (or favorite) pet; as your last name the street you live on. Mine came out either Buffer Pine (sounds like an older but still well-endowed type) or Orlando Pine (highly sophisticated…). One friend came out as Kitty Walnut — one can imagine what she’d be like, especially given a certain canditate for the Presidency!
I also came across a Lord of the Rings name generator, but this had something to do with the last medication you took, which didn’t have much realationship I could see to LOTR — maybe it only works for those on serious meds…

I happen to have my own private name generator.
It comes in little squares of paper that someone keeps in the freezer for me.
Uusally I rap about zen politics, under the name Tupac Chopra, but lately I’ve been doing the Buddhist Financial counceling as Tao Jones.
Anyway, what’s in a name, as long as there are no outstanding warrants?
call me boring old Lord David…

Father Thompson Submachine of Compassion, to be precise.
And my Mafia name is “The Pope”. Is that a promotion or demotion from my prior sainthood?

Unitarian Jihad: Matron Draw-and-Quarter of Appreciative Joy (is that totally me, or what?)
Mafia: The Pipsqueak (not too far off either)
Palin: Slap Spear
Porn Star: Blackie Ashford Dunwoody (doesn’ quite work)
I think Very Reverend of Crimson Fire Lovingkindness is exactly Loki.
Thanks, A. That was fun.

Blessed Carpet Bombing of Compassion over here LOVES her new name. Helluva lot better than Carp Schooner Palin. Thanks!!!

Yep, that’s legit.
