Stage Names

It's Friday and I'm feeling silly, so let's have a go at inventing our stage names.

Apparently if you want a "porn star" name you take the name of your first pet, followed by the first street you lived on. In which case I'd be Ginny Woodborough. Pretty good if I was a transvestite.

But given that my real name is quite boring, I'd adjust it slightly and go for:

TONI LOVERONI

At the age of eight, I was going to be an actress, so I chose my stage name then. I took my favourite first name from my mother's names book, and added the last name of the American boy I met when we lived over there.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am Amaryllis Hartman!

Amaryllis Hartman. Nice!

If I was a better rock guitarist, I might be Wolfhound Joe.

Given that my first real pet was a fish won at a funfair, mine would be (wait for it.....)

Sibelius Ovington.

Why did I call my fish Sibelius? Because Sibelius was a Finn.

William Kirkland.

Sounds quite distinguished and not "porn star" at all. A real porn star name is something like Vinnie Chorizo.

Mine would be...

Trixie Bridge-End!!

Well, if we're going with the pets thing, mine is
Ptolemy Elizabeth.

Which sounds less like a porn star and more like a character from Dickens, even if you reverse it.

I'm guessing that first pet was a tortoise?

Clearly you would be cast as the rather cad-ish young fop, driving through the (oddly) quiet streets of London in your open top sports car, to pick up a pretty young blonde in a tiny mini skirt.

She would probably be played by Ptolemy Elizabeth.

No, it was a cat. My mother felt sorry for it because the neighbour's cat had kittens and they were going to drown them all, so my mother said she would have one (despite none of us liking cats). It got called Ptolemy because the mother cat was called Nefertiti (the neighbour was a classics scholar!).
