Say my name, say my name

When I write this blog I'm not really me.  I become somebody else.  I have a blogging alter ego that rears its stroppy, opinionated head and launches forth.  It's a personality that's quite distinct from the one that hangs out washing and sorts recycling.  In acknowledgement of this psychological schism I will be taking on a new name.

Look, if it's good enough for Beyonce Knowles it's good enough for me.

For those of you who don't religiously read entertainment news when you should be pondering the policies and ideologies of the main New Zealand political parties in the lead-up to the election, Ms Knowles has taken on a new name to reflect the "alter ego that I've created that kind of protects me and who I really am".  Apparently she's Sasha Fierce now.  Well if David Bowie can be "the thin white duke", Prince can be a symbol, and P. Diddy can be whatever the heck it is he's called these days, then why not?  But I do think that our girl B has missed an opportunity here.  Why not take it one step forward and be "Sasha Soldier Survivor Fiercely Independent Woman"?

No, you're right, that'd sound silly.

I like the idea, though, that you can just decide to take on a name that reflects a certain part of your personality.  I don't know if you can actually force people to use it but why quibble over practicalities?  When you look like Beyonce Knowles you can probably get away with demanding all sorts of things.  If I had a body like that I'm quite sure I would use my powers for outright evil and never think twice about it.  It's just as well (for the benefit of society as a whole) that the limits of my evil are confined by slight lumpenness in unspecified areas.

But back to the namey-ness.  I have decided that I should have a different name too to reflect the "persona" that I project in certain aspects of my life, but it's so hard to choose.  Here are what I have come up with so far...

* Eugenia Scathe

* Dulcet Singstar

* Riesling Vocality

* Lola Bow-chicka-wow-wow-but-don't-even-think-about-it-loser Starchild

* Salma McVixen

* DVDeenya Sofa-ling

* Malibu Le Funk (this is my Real Hot Bitch name)

* Missy no-I-don't-have-children-can-I-borrow-yours? Infertilicious

* Largely Unimpressed (the drawback to this one being, well, do I sound fat in this?)

* Totty Stiletto

* Deeandra Ironthighs

* Bloggetina O'Nasty

* TimTam Eveningstar

Each one of these reflects a part of myself and protects my "essence" from being "overexposed".  I'm not sure which one I like best and I suspect that a few of them are a bit "Bond girl" but I'd like your opinion.  Which pseudonym do you prefer and if you were to "do a Beyonce" what would you choose to be known as?
