Need pseudonyms? Look no farther than your spam email bin
Among the alleged senders of spam to me in the last few days were characters who identified themselves as:
Francisco Bouchard
Oxidize E. Destructivene
Sirloins H. Smirching
Doyens A. Connoting
Console H. Cyrano
Exultant H. Cenotaphs
Prefabrication T. Edison
Yow! I would love to have a correspondent named Sirloins H. Smirching or Exultant H. Cenotaphs. (Why so many middle initial H's, and do they all have the same middle name as Jesus Christ?)
Then again, I just selected a pseudonym from the list of long-dead cast members of The Big Sleep. Endless lists of forgotten Hollywood bit players are great sources for names for characters in your novels and so forth.
