   in the u.s. – this method is used to determine a “soap opera” name

   there’s also a formula for “porn star name” but i forget what it is…perhaps middle name and mother’s maiden name?

   Mine would happen to be George Victoria – George being an old (now deceased) black cat who ironically got run over in Victoria Avenue. The same adress that would happen to be my first address.

   Somehow I don’t think George Victoria would suit me, think I’ll stick to Chris Leydon.

   Mickey Abbey
   My first guinea pig was called Mickey (after the Mouse) and I was born in Abbey Road. No, not *that* Abbey Road.

   Better ones would be Trixie (our childhood dog) Broughton or Sandy (another guinea pig) Middleton. I actually like that last one!

   Muffin Harmapaadentie or Spears Aaron.

   That first one is obviously not a U.S. street. If I were male, I’d have a few other options that might actually sound human.

   @Chris Leydon: Swap the names around and Victoria George is a pretty decent Mills & Boon author

   @Alex: Why did France of all places inspire the purchase of a guinea pig?

   @Annette: OK, you have got to explain ‘Harmapaadentie’ !

   Thanks to all for taking the trouble to comment, it was fun reading them.
