What's in a name?

When I was a freshman at WSU we had to learn the founding fathers of our fraternity.

Alberg, Anderson, Bayer, Bertrand, Bervin, Case, Cliat, Cook, Dielenberg, Ermi, Felt, Fischer, Gormley, Greninger, Hardy, Harris, Howell, Jackson, Majestic, McDougal, McIrvin, Plumb, Poole, Prater, Reese, Robertson, Ross, Snell, Stone, Tartalia, Wagge, Weinstein, Winnier, Woodcock

I still remember them...

What is it that makes you remember names like that? People F-up my last name all the time, but I guess it's not exactly spelled how it sounds.

So, in honor of the founding fathers, I've come up with a list of potential last names, should I ever change mine..

  • Woodsmen - Strong to quite strong name. Definitely let's people know you mean business.
  • Majestic - While it was one of our founding fathers' names, I think it's, well, majestic.
  • America - Who wouldn't want to have their last name also be their country?
  • De La _______ - Basically throw a word in the blank and you're set. (De la Hoya, De La Renta)
  • Steel - Put any name in front of this last name and you've got a great combination or a miraculous porn name.
  • Rockwell - Norman had the name to get him into the game. It let's everyone know what you're here to do.
I encourage you to come up with aliases for yourself in your spare time. You never know when you might need to start answering to Ron Honcho...

Peace be with you
