Why cobalt blue is the best favorite color to have

[avram]

In the olden days when people wanted to waste time coming up with funny name memes, they actually came with with clever and surprising formulas that half the time produced crap, but were sometimes awesome. Not like you kids today, with your dopey CGI name generators that just use a randomizer. Here, via tsukechick, a meme that kicks it old-skool:

1. YOUR ROCK STAR NAME: (first pet and current street name)
Chat Fourth (That sucks. I clearly exercised poor taste when naming my pet back in third grade. I knew that Hebrew school education would turn out badly.)

2. YOUR MOVIE STAR NAME: (grandfather/grandmother on your dad's side, your favorite candy:
Abraham Lindt (I’m tempted to change my name to this now.)

3. YOUR "FLY GIRL/GUY" NAME: (first initial of first name, first two or three letters of your last name)
A-Gru (Fly Guy? Didn’t the Fly Guys used to be the Goblins?)

4. YOUR DETECTIVE NAME: (favorite animal, favorite color)
Cat Cobalt (Detective of the future!)

5. YOUR SOAP OPERA NAME: (middle name, city where you were born)
Jacob Manhattan (Plausible.)

6. YOUR STAR WARS NAME: (first 3 letters of your last name, last 3 letters of mother's maiden name, first 3 letters of your pet's name)
Gruhercha (Clearly I’m in the prequel trilogy.)

7. JEDI NAME: (middle name spelled backwards, your mom's maiden name spelled backwards)
Bocaj Reshif (“Bojac” would be better. These aren’t the droids who love you, baby!)

8. PORN STAR NAME: (middle name, street you grew up on)
Jacob Debs (Eh. Not very porn starish.)

9. SUPERHERO NAME: ("The", your favorite color, the automobile you drive)
The Cobalt Citation (I don’t have a car now, but I had a Chevy Citation in college. And this makes for a very civic-minded sounding hero.)

My Star Wars name would be Rosldtsim. One of those annoying names that, when you're reading, makes you stop cold every time 'cos you get tangled up trying to say it in your head. Bleh.

1. YOUR ROCK STAR NAME: (first pet and current street name)

Betsy Fourth. I better not quit my day job.

2. YOUR MOVIE STAR NAME: (grandfather/grandmother on your dad's side, your favorite candy:

Ethel Dark Chocolate? So much no.

3. YOUR "FLY GIRL/GUY" NAME: (first initial of first name, first two or three letters of your last name)

M-Sch -- I think this works better with a vowel in it somewhere.

4. YOUR DETECTIVE NAME: (favorite animal, favorite color)

Dolphin Green? Still no.

5. YOUR SOAP OPERA NAME: (middle name, city where you were born)

Anne New Brunswick. And still with the no.

6. YOUR STAR WARS NAME: (first 3 letters of your last name, last 3 letters of mother's maiden name, first 3 letters of your pet's name)

Schyonhaz. Er, and also no.

7. JEDI NAME: (middle name spelled backwards, your mom's maiden name spelled backwards)

Enna Noynek. Strangely plausible. We had to hit one eventually.

8. PORN STAR NAME: (middle name, street you grew up on)

Anne Seventh? Makes you wonder what happened to Anne 1-6.

9. SUPERHERO NAME: ("The", your favorite color, the automobile you drive)

The Green Subway. Really, really no.

Rock Star: JP Lincoln (Jean-Pierre Lincoln? maybe after the surgery)
Movie Star: Leonor Mounds (I picked the funniest of the candies I like; shouldn't this be my porn star name, though?
Fly Girl: C-Quin (that works pretty well)
Detective: Labrador Royal
Soap Opera: Michelle Bedford-Stuyvesant (I kinda like this one too)
Star Wars: Quidezjea
Jedi: Ellehcim Zednanreh (looks Turkish, actually)
Porn Star: Michelle Ashford (M. Bed-Stuy's unpublicized maiden name, no doubt)
Superhero: The Royal Q-Train

OK, that was considerably more entertaining that I'd expected or than it really deserves to be.

Those of us with numbers instead of names have a problem. I refuse to be the porn star named East 101st.

And The Aqua XLS-2 doesn't work too well either...
