There have been so many great baseball names over the years, some past and some present: Rollie Fingers, Catfish Hunter, Razor Shines, Coco Crisp … the Cubs even have a few of their own right now: Rebel Ridling, Trey McNutt, Austin Bibens-Dirxx (oh nevermind, he’s moved on.)
Today we’re going to each create our very own baseball star names, among others. As examples I also created my own names (in parentheses.)
- Baseball Star Name = Brand name of your favorite beer + action verb. (Coors Biking)
- TV Weather Anchor Name = Any relative’s name + a major city starting with the same letter. (Joan Jacksonville)
- Hippie Name = Favorite flower + favorite tree. (Daffodil Dogwood)
- Movie Star Name = Grandmother/Grandfather’s first name + something celestial. (Olga Moon)
- Stripper Name = Favorite cologne (perfume if you’re female) + favorite fruit. (Lovely Lime)
- Exotic Foreign Alias = A favorite spice + last vacation spot you visited. (Parlsey Mackinac)
- Rock Star Name = Any car you’ve ever owned + the color of any wall in your home. (Pinto Brown)
- Porn Name = Any pet’s name (current or former) + any street you’ve ever lived on. (Twilight Kidder)
