Soap/porn star name generator
chris mclaughlin
Here's a perfect formula for generating a name for
yourself as a soap opera or porn star: don't know
exactly where it originated, but tracing back the
forwardings it looks like someone named Michele Touriquez.
Anyway, I think it's funny -- and we could pretend
we're talking about generating character names, eh?
To find your perfect soap opera name, combine
Your middle name + the street you grew up on.
To find your perfect porn star name, combine
Your first pet's name + your mother's
maiden name.

Edward Carol. Actually, I have three streets to choose from here: Edward
Midgard, Edward Queensway... I kinda like "Midgard," has a very "Edward
Woodward" feel to it.

Egad. My first (and only) pet was a canary which I, at the age of 6,
named Chirp. So I'm... Chirp Malone.
Canaries barely count as pets, but it's the only one I've ever had. Now,
if I had a cat, I'd name it Schrodinger, or maybe Heisenberg (I'm a bit
uncertain about that, you see) -- either of which would be one hell of a
mouthful for a porn star. Maybe it'd have to be shortened to Schrody or
Heisie. Ack.
I think I'll stay away from porn. At least acting in it. (You all should
be grateful.)

Hmmm. Lawrence First. Sort of interesting - maybe change "First" to
"Furst". I see some well-to-do heel who is scheming with the evil Marlena
to bring down the Furst family publishing empire, while in another part of
town my wife - the sexy Babette - is secretly in cahoots with my oldest
rival Jean-Phillipe, who unbeknownst to me is my son, a product of my
May-December tryst with elder statewoman (and current mayor) Audrey
duBois...

George Federal Highway?

I don't think so.
How did Alley OOp get his name? Was this rule implemented backwards?
Inquiring minds want to know!
And what if you live on a street named after Prince? (The entertainer, not
the dog.)

Hmmm, I'm not sure about that formula considering the number of porn stars I

Okay. I get Robson Elmwood and Stoopy Garber.
That nice fellow I married gets Kent Santa Margarita and Hansel Vold.
The kids get, in order of their birth:
Luis Neary and Sailor Kemnitzer
Judith Neary and Sailor Kemnitzer
Why does this all strike me as unmarketable?
Chris, are there any subroutines we can run?
Lucy Kemnitzer
the orange-haired one insists that his sister's name should be Toto Kemnitzer
because the cat wouldn't have anything to do with her until after he'd
forgotten that either Emma or the dog had ever not lived here.
But I think your pet is your pet, even if it's unpleasant to you.

Hey, folks, it's fun to "generate" these names, but you should beware of
stating your mother's maiden name on USENET. That name is used all too
often as a "password" by credit card companies, banks, etc., even though
it's relatively easy to ferret out.
Soap: "Charles Greenfield"
Porn: "Ginger Noneofyourdamnedbusiness"
It works for me!

At least you've got a middle name. My soap opera name would be
NMN 158. Even I'm not good-looking enough to make a name like that
sexy enough for a soap star.
For the porn name, I'm in better shape. Inky Cimorelli --I think I
could build a career on that.

May I use my second pet's name and my third cousin's maiden name?

Hm, when I named my turtle and picked my mom, I should've been more
careful. Another career possibility down the drain.
Obvious this whole thread is a ploy to get our mothers' maiden names--a

establish that you are who you are.

No way.
Now what would have been interesting would be to combine my first pet's
name and the street I grew up on:
Sam Jones Mary Ellen
Obviously not a perfect formula.
I still like the adjacent cities for detective names:

No, I guess that doesn't work either

Yeah, I know, that's why I gave a fake one. "Mongoni" is a related
branch of cousins, not my mother's maiden name at all. But it was an
Italian surname and made an adequate substitute. You honestly didn't
think I'd give my REAL mom's maiden name over Usenet, did you?

Not quite perfect. While "Warren Oaklawn" certainly sounds good for
soap opera, I don't think "Nervous Ogur" really works for a porn star.

I can see that this system doesn't work very well for people who live on
numbered streets, but it works very well for me.
We moved around a fair bit when I was a kid, so if I ever write a soap
opera, I can use the following characters, Charles Woodcroft, Charles
Maplemont, Charles Southmoor, Charles Mapleglen and Charles Beardsley.
Charles Southmoor would be a Heathcliff-like character. Charles Beardsley
would be a decadent aristrocratic artist. Charles Woodcroft, Mapleglen
and Maplemont would be all be rural gentry.

Bandwidth is an inexact term used to describe

Obviously, there's a difference in the number
of tuba players versus smaller horn players,
and the piccolos and glockenspeils are also
unpredictable owing to the elbow room factor,
but there you go.
Hope that helps.

It is the number of meters taken up by each row in your marching band. If
you have seven Sousaphones, you'll have a greater bandwidth than a

Information is whatever resolves an ambiguity. The fundamental unit is
one yes-no decision: the binary digit, or `bit'. Hence bits/second is
a unit of bandwidth.
However, information flow can be mapped (via Harry Nyquist's Sampling
Theorem) into an analog signal. Nyquist established a relationship between
the frequency of measurement and the analog frequency limits of a channel.
You can send two `symbols' per cycle. Each symbol may represent one,
less than one, or more than one bit. Technically, `baud' means `symbols
per second' but it is commonly taken to mean `bits/second.'

The basic work was laid out by Claude Shannon in, I think, the 40's, in
a paper called `A Mathematical Theory of Communication.' Communication
Theory, Information Theory, Optimal Filter Theory, statistical mechanics,
thermodynamics (especially the Second Law and Entropy) are all woven into
each other.
This is all second-year EE stuff.
