The object of the game is to create a name which COULD be legitimate, but at the same time provides a second meaning. For example, Billy Gote or Mac O'Roany. These admittedly are only fair examples, the ideal example is one that you stare at, read aloud, and then emit a groan when the meaning hits you. Some of these might be: Cole Dindanoze Cyril N. Mylk Everett A. Sandwich Frank Leemideer Johann Saccold Maurice Terbunnies Vera Lonau Wayne B. Fordafite Surely you can top these! - only rule is that the first name or initial must be legitimate. Reply via mail and I will post - along with some more samples from my collection! Fred Hicinbothem (no pun intended)
