The Registry of Pseudonyms

article image placeholderUploaded by @rocio
Okay. Y'all, I gotta show you this. This is so insanely. Up my alley. This is a registry of pseudonyms. I mean, what else? It's in the title, it's right there, and it's this bare bones website, and you can just click on any name that sounds interesting, and I'll tell you a little bit about the person and the pseudonym and the original name. And I thought that was I thought it was pretty fun

Another installment of #ToolsTextsToysTricks where I bring you little gifts I find while browsing the interweb 🌿 #WithRo www.registryofpseudonyms.com

The fact that he had all these friends who started this band and they all took the same last name. And they took that name because that was a pseudonym that Paul McCartney used when he would stay in hotels. So I think that's really cool with that sort of line of people sort of taking someone else's pseudonym and making it their own, which is really cool. But yeah, I just love this whole idea. And it's funny because I release music under a pseudonym

And the predictive text, they were texting back and forth, and the predictive text changed Radio Gaga because they were talking about Queen to Lady Gaga and that's how she came up with her name. I just think it's so fun and brilliant. And then of course, I had to read Sylvia Plath, which I shouldn't have done because everything about her makes me weep. But ah, anyway, this was really great fun, fascinating. Appreciate it

Wow. I didn't know about that story of the Ramons and the connection to Paul McCartney. That's so cool. Yeah, I love that. It's like a pseudonym for it's like a pseudonym lineage. I love it. And, yeah, I'm fascinated by pseudonyms, and I love it. I haven't released music yet. Well, I released a few songs, like, years ago. Tiny, tiny little things under a pseudonym. And that's fun, I feel like

But I'm going to browse a little bit more and see if there's another one that I can share on here because this is so sweet and fun to hear each of us read or talk about one that we thought was cool
