{Editor Marco's Note: Dear Readers: I am hard at work building a new commercial website for my funny articles. It will be free, like this one. Not only will it contain my Second Life humor, but funny articles about a variety of other topics. It should be ready by July 1st. Meanwhile, I am reposting some of my older articles.}

Funny Second Life Names #1
Ok dokie, boys and girls. Finally I have to write about this topic of Second Life names. It is both with interest and trepidation that I tackle this subject. Why trepidation? Well what is there to say? If a name is funny it is funny, but what else is there to say about it? Yet, there are SO MANY goofy, funny names in Second Life, that it seems a subject worth talking about.
And speaking of funny, just why WOULD someone pick a goofy name. Hmmmm? *Marcophoto points the finger at himself* Yeah, Marco, just WHY did you pick such a weird name? Ok, Ok, I'll go first, and poke a little fun at MY name, before I poke some fun at YOUR name, fair enough?
Well first off, do you remember what it was like signing up for your first account with Second Life? You are zipping through the application, when suddenly you are required to pick a name. "Oh, wow," you think "I never thought of that, what in heck should I call myself?" So maybe you think of plugging in your own name--mine is Mark--but now I need a last name.....Hmmmmm.....here's one that sounds English, "Upshaw." My family hails from England and Ireland, so that sounds like a good name. Ok, lets try it Mark Upshaw....I plug it into the Second Life window...it is taken. Oh.
Well let's see, my Uncle Jim used to call me Marco, try that.....taken. Shoot. This is harder than it looks,.....Oh, I could try MarcoPolo, people always call me that, but ya know, basically I hate that name. WAIT, I KNOW, MarcoPhoto! Yeah, and that fits perfectly because I had a small biz in rl as a Photographer, and besides, it is a nice play on words... MarcoPolo....MarcoPhoto....yeaaaaaaaah, I like it. So I plug it into the search window.....and it works! I am now officially to be called, Marcophoto Upshwaw. Too bad at the time I did not know I could have capitalized the P in my name, but it is ok,
And as it turns out this has been a very good name. It has a nice ring to it, and it is distinctive. People remember this weird name I have. And it shortens nicely too. It is important to have a name that can readily be shortened into a nickname. Marcophoto easily becomes Marco. What can you do if your name is 123456CamelPoop DungPyle? Do you want them to call you "Hi 123!" or "Hi Poop!" or "Hello Shithead?" It IS a quandry.
And surprisingly enough there ARE quite a number of names just like...ehm...Mr. Poophead's.
For example:
Pootyhead Buchsbaum..... gee, somehow I think better of myself than to have my head associated with....uhmmm....er...yeah, THAT!
Psss, names have NOT been changed here, obviously. And please do not fire off angry letters threatening to pull my scrotum over my head for "picking on" your name. I did not choose your name, YOU did. They are a matter of public record in the SL search engine. Besides, my scrotum is already over my head. It makes for a very warm blanket on a cooold night...and is very comforting these days. *wink...which reminds me of a song....."Do your balls hang low, do they wobble too and fro....can you tie them in a knot, can you can you tease them in a Fro?....."
So without further ado, I give you my first installment of some of my favorite strange, interesting and funny SL names.....these are all actual names....look them up!
Busty Ansome....I met "Busty" and her "peaches" ARE very memorable to say the least, lol
Emeraude Karas....I wonder if Em knows that an Emeraude is a term used in the Bible for a Hemmoroid? As in a "golden emmeraud"??? Really. It is in the book of Genesis. Yikes how would you like to have your name associated with THAT!
Speaking of body parts, try out these interesting names:
2nutz Sack...... Just 2? And you are telling us this for WHAT reason?
Electropussy Parx... I wonder if sex with her is a shocking experience?
Bulging Sak...... Hmmmm, he must be talking about his grocery bag, right? Groceries, eh?
Speaking of food, here are some interesting food--names:
BigMac Deerhunter.... after he bags a deer, does he take it to McD's to have it turned into a BigMac?
Cookieman Berlin... was he a doughboy in WWI?
Holda Mayo....... Ooooo I love clever names like this!
Here are some of my favorite, "Clever" Names" For me a Clever name is one where the first name ties right in with the last name....such as:
Digg Graves........
Not Telling........
Tuctin Nitely......
Yesometime Tomorrow.....
1Juicypeach Georgia... now THAT is a juicy name, it just makes me just wanna take a big bite! It is also very clever because Georgia is the "peach" state in the U.S. Anyone who has been to Atlanta, Georgia will attest to the fact that nearly every street in that town is called Peach Street. Or Peach Avenue, or Peach Thoroughfare, or Peach Highway, or Peach Lane, or Peach Cutoff....it is insane.
Close to those, in my estimation are the "Cute Names"... like:
cheekapoo Babii.....
Daisy Flowers.....
MissMissy Moonbeam....
Pugbug Bing.... I love your name, Puggy, it is just sooooo cute, like a bug-inna-rug.
Tweety Hawks.... just a cute name.
Running closely behind the cute names, are the Rhyming Names,. like....
Azz Mazi...
Mizi Mazi....
nappy Sack...
PitPat Wildcat....
Stora Zhora....
Another class of names, that is similar to the Clever names, is the Statement names, where the first name fits in with the last name to make a statement.....like:
B1TCH Holliday....
Then we have the Destiny Sisters....hmmm sounds like an all-girl group
Enticing Destiny....
Mya2008 Destiny
MyLast Destiny...
Wasit Destiny....
Followed by the two sons of Thor:
Fearless Hammerer....
Ninepound Hammerer...
Gothic Schism....
Michelles Magic.....
NedaO Pinion.....
Quick Lerner.....
Sugary Delight.... Ooooooo Sugar! You sound....well.....just as sweet as can be!
Tempest Nitely.... Oh, and you must be Sugar's angry step-sister
Stormy Tepper.... And yet another angry step-sister
And These too!
Anytime Thursday... Ok, yeah, Thursday is good for me, too!
Charming Wise... How sweet, she is charming AND wise!
Gottabe Held... Mmmmmm Gotta, I hope you are female, cause I'd love to hold ya...
Iget Iwish.... One wish? And what would you wish for? Can I wish for YOU?
Ivanna Escape... So who doesn't? Why do you think we are in SL anyway?
MadeIn England.... Mmmmm, I was Madein America
Smokie Ember... Ooooo Smokie, your name just gets my fire going!
Sparkz Ember... And you too! Are you and Smokie the Sexy Sisters?
WatYa Tenk... Well that's why I'm asking, no need to get sharp with me!
Tinie Littlething... Hey NOW! Be nice! I won't comment on YOUR equipment, please don't comment on MINE!
There will be more installments of this, but before I close I just HAVE to mention two of my most favorite names...
UREWSHMYCMD Dagger.... Really? My wish is your command? Well, well, I will have a long list for you, just ask the next gal, she's my all-time favorite mmmmmmm...
VaVaVaaaa Voom..... Mmmmm VaVa.....talk about a juicy peach! Baby, I just want to suck on YOU, forever! (Oh common, I'm a vampire, remember?)

Hi, Marco! I happened by your blog while in-world the other day, and thought of it immediately when (by happenstance) I ran into a particular " Offwithya Clowes ".
I relayed my amusement of this to her, and she seemed to take it in stride. "LOL, Just came to me on when I was signing up." she said.
So I threw her your URL and she was more than happy to have me throw her name your way -- so here I am! :D
Cheers and thanks (again) to both of you for being around! ^_^
--Janicka M.
Hey heyyyy Janicka, thank you!
That's a great name, and I immediately added it to my collection.
I know someone who is, well...her name is 'Deesire Looming'. Think about it!
Hi, Marco!
I liked reading your blog.
My personal favorite SL-names are Depeche Mode and Way Toocool.
(I tried taking both of them, when I saw these surnames, but both were taken already.)
