Cygnia Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Anecdote time! I work for a murder mystery dinner theatre troupe. And one of the bits we ask from the audience is for them to come up with aliases for themselves. The sheer number of people who think they're being clever by using "Ben Dover" is getting more than a wee bit tiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cygnia Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 This happened during our last performance. I'm one of the detectives (Actually, I'm the head detective of the CLE franchise) and we have this bit where we ask one of the audience members to reenact the crime for us. Unbeknownst to us at the time, the guy we picked was a bit of a [BLEEP] and probably drunk to boot. He gave himself a problematic name -- and he's proud of it. Usually if that's the case, the supervisor recommends we make them say their name and put the onus on them. But this twit really likes how uncomfortable his name sounds. Unfortunately for him, I'm a rapid-fire improviser. Him: I'm Testicle Steve! Know why they call me 'Testicle Steve'?! Me: 'Cause you're lacking the balls to use your real name? *mic drop* And the crowd goes wild... lemming, Pariah, Duke Bushido and 3 others 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or it could just be a person's name. I can testify that yes, "Latrina" has been at least one person's legal first name in the US. Worse, that person was in the military.
