So...we were talking over in IRC, and somebody was quizzing us on stars' real names.

Norma Jean Baker---Marilyn Monroe

Marrion Morrison---John Wayne

etc.

It got me to thinking...what if Clark's real name wasn't Clark Kent at all? What if his real name was something incredibly silly and embarrassing, and he changed it for career purposes?

This might give him something extra to hide, and in turn, something extra for Lois Lane to find. This could add another layer to Superman's whole "secret identity" thing.

Thought?

It is late, and I'm feeling very silly, but this could go somewhere, couldn't it?
cool

I'm working on something where Clark has written several books under a pseudonym. And, yes, Lois will find out. laugh

But don't hope to get to read it soon. It's still in the early stages, and right now I don't feel much like writing.

The other thing on my mind is the gender-bender challenge. I consider giving "Superwoman" an official ID and all - with a really silly name.

Not so silly, Mellie! I like her name.

I can't think of anything silly for Clark. Hmmm.... How about Peter Parker? How about Abraham Lincoln Kent? Or Benjamin Franklin Kent? Benedict Arnold Kent?

How about Clarence? Like that stupid, crossed-eyed lion in - was it Daktari? Sortcutting it to Clark would even make a lot of sense.

Now, the middle initial. J. Gee - do you follow my line of thought? He does have a helping complex, after all.

Clarence Jesus Kent. How about that?

Queen of the Capes, what is your IRC nick? I was in that IRC chat and I don't remember seeing you. I mean, I am sure you were there, I was just wondering what name you go under. It's always nice to be able to match up people in your head! smile

Jo's right; on IRC, I'm QueenMasha. smile

As for people who may need a little help in being silly to the point of cruelty, here's a link which someone posted in an offtopic thread:

reminded me of a patient I knew once - he went by Lee. He'd come in, ask for his rx under the name of Lee ______ (whatever the last name was). We'd greet him as Lee, too: "Hi, Lee, got one to pick up?" Along those lines, anyway.

One day, he came in with a new rx from a hospital, and it had been card-o-plated with his name. (They take the raised-letter ID card issued by some hospitals when you go to the ER and lay it in a machine, lay the blank rx form on top, and run the lever-thingy back and forth once in each direction over it. It imprints the patient's ID number and name on the rx blank.)

The name was General Lee __________ and I (clueless - newly moved from a more metropolitan area to a rural one) said, "Oh, Lee, I didn't know you were in the military." And he rolled his eyes and said, "I wasn't. My grandfather was from the south and was allowed to name me and my brother. I'm "General Lee ________" and my brother is "George Washington ________". I go by "Lee" and he goes by "George". laugh

And re Baby's Named a Bad, Bad Thing - rotflol I first discovered that site in 2001, I think. I can never decide, reading it, which is funnier - the actual posts the woman collects or the comments she adds to them.

Thanks for reminding me of such a funny site. I recommended it once to a guy who collects "weird sites" - for that, translate to weird OR funny - he had a lot of both. About a week after I sent him the link, he emailed me to say that his wife, who never, ever, EVER (according to him) read any of the sites he'd get for his collection, had heard him laughing and almost falling off his chair, and had come and sat down and read the entire site, start to finish, in one night. Or close to.

Anyway... so, Queen of the Capes - from a fan of your short little funny takes on things... you gonna take up your own challenge?

What about another kind of silly names?

I mean that kind...

Sorry for the German examples:

Axel Schweiß - sounding like Achselschweiß,
the German word for underarm perspiration

or Rosa Schlüpfer - which means pink panties

maybe Clark could have a name that would turn him bright red the moment he said it. wink


It's never too dark to be cool. cool
