Help me pick a stage name!

November 2, 2005 10:36 AM

Help me come up with a funny stage name.

The name has to be in the following format:
Thomas "Franken" Stein
Julia "Natural Born" Stiller
Bethany "Where It's" Atkins
etc

The name we're working with here is Josh Hardy.
Josh "Party" Hardy -- Not original enough
Josh "Laurel and" Hardy -- One possibility

The stage name should be original, clean (sfw), and at least ostensibly clever.

MeFites, start your comedy engines!

Response by poster: Note that most of the existing stage names contain some sort of play on the first or last name, and ideally this would too.

Would Josh "Frank and Joe" Hardy be too obscure?

Josh "where's the Bac" hardy "at"? (I know, not quite the format, and fat guy already sort of did it. But, still.)

Response by poster: While perhaps not technically a true stage name, it's for a stage production where each person is asked to come up with a clever wordplay to use in the credits, and it's called a stage name by the producers.

Thanks mefites! We've seen some good ones here.

While some of the above were clever, Crosius' "Chef Boy" was the only one to actually make me chuckle out loud. So, in my annals, "Chef Boy" = winner.

(Now get the hell out of my annals, if you please.)
