Well, I managed to make it to UIUC last night for our university hack day after an amusing and frustrating adventure with American Airlines.

While chatting with our recruiters, one of them asked for the name of my first pet. Then she asked for the name of the first street I lived on. I jokingly asked if she was trying to phish my Yahoo account.

"No, I'm trying to figure out your stripper name!"

Heh. I didn't even realized I had a stripper name.

Just for the record, using the name of our first cat ("Kitty") and the street I grew up on ("Kneer", pronounced "near"), my stripper name is:

Kitty Kneer

Now that I've shared my stripper name, what's yours? Come on. You know the algorithm.

The Bad Girls Guide to the Open Road has something like this - your Porn Name - and its your first pet's name + your mother's maiden name. In which I am fabulously coined Mittens McMillen. (My stripper name would be Mittens 512)...

Then they have your Road Name: what you had for breakfast + the last place you peed by the road. Guess mine today would be Western Omelette Hold the Toast Hayes...

Rock.

Since we moved about 5 times before I was 5 years old - I'm going to have to work with the first pet and street that I can remember.

My stripper name is Noa Knight. I always liked the Star Wars Name better, though.

First name = first three letters of your first name + first two letters of your last name

Last name = first two letters of your mother's maiden name + the first three letters of the city where you were born.

My Star Wars name is Ryast Whcom.

Susie Cuyler...

...um, is it significant that my first cat was a boy with a girl's name?

(When I attended UIUC, the common porn name formula was Middle Name + Street = Porn Name.)

Skip Palmwell. I've also seen "middle name and street", which would make me Christopher Palmwell.

That definitely sounds like a stripper.

# Zhasper said:

I'd heard "first pet" rather than "first cat", which would make me...

Kandy Pallas

But, I'd also heard of that as being a drag name, and it's definitely the name I intend to use if/when i ever get around to doing drag.

If we restrict it to first cat, that'd make me:

Snowy Pallas.

Not as alluring, but still fun.

Browny 9 1/2.
Doesnt beat "Misty Sunbeam", Although if you toss in the fact that I'm hispanic [brown,] it might be a little weird if youre a tad twisted, like me.

Time to change my G-mail sig to Browny 9 1/2, myspace headline as well :-P

BTW, at this point I'm glad my family didn't buy the home on Glasscock rd...

Stripper name? In some less polite circles it's known as your "porn star name", although why you'd want one if you're not planning a career in porn is anyone's guess. As this post points out...

OK, so my stripper name is Blackie Harehill, and my Star Wars name is Steho Cabra. This all sounds much more exotic that real life ...

I am a stripper and I went to the cemetary to check out my stripper name. Sound creepy? naah! I came up with Luirra (Leera). At first I wanted lury, but than I thought, "that's too lury" hahaha! So I added and "a" at the end and came up with Luirra. "Be lury of Luirra she may break your heart", I thought. Come to find out after using my stripper name for about three months, I got told that it means money in Italian. Even better!!!!
