Your secret code name

I just played a Golden Smog song. It made me think of how folks in the entertainment world come up with a fake name. I know a guy in radio land who took the name of his pet for his first name and his mother's maiden name for his last name. Isn't that how some "adult entertainers" pick their screen name? I don't know how I know that. And no I wasn't at the Minneapolis Convention Center this weekend...yet. Would a picture of me with Ron Jeremy be an inappropriate Christmas card? Picture above my fireplace mantle?

The name formula to find out your "Golden Smog" alias is take your middle name as your first name and the street you grew up on as your last name. What's yours?

"Anthony 53rd Avenue."

THAT didn't work.

Um, how about "Tony Waring"?

How about your first pet's name and the first street you lived on?

Anne Downer. Hm. It'd be Anne LaBelle if we go with the street I lived on in high school.
