  WHAT?! No AquaNetta

  Elliot, I’m going to need big business cards.

• 4 elliott // May 9, 2008 at 10:45 am

  I just wouldn’t want my daughter to be known as another IllishaImelda M. to her classmates, along with her friends IllishaImelda R. and IllishaImelda X. Best to go with Hyacinth…

  I think we are failing to ask the more pressing question.

  Why, pray tell, were you looking at baby names April?

  Is there something we don’t know? Another puppy on the way?

• 6 eBayEnigma // May 9, 2008 at 11:21 am

  On a slightly different note, I can help you choose your porn name. You take the name of your first pet, and the name of the first street you lived on. Mine is: Fluffy Robindale. (LOL)

  Drag name? I’m going to have to go off list and give you the name I came up for myself since I’ll never use it (again…ahem.) Eureka Vajeania

• 8 aristan // May 9, 2008 at 11:41 am

  I am leaning toward any name that involves “Precious” or “Duchess”. Seriously… Mercedes Precious has to be a drag name.

  Or a Stripper name.

  And with the things they can do in an Operating Room these days… really, what’s the difference?

  My father was with the LAPD for over 30 years and toldme that he had to interview an African-American woman. He asked her where her interesting first name came from and she replied that “it was what they had put on the wristband when she was born.”

  Her name was pronounced Feh-mal-eh…

  Spelled “Female”

• 10 Infinite monkey // May 9, 2008 at 12:39 pm

  Precious Louella?

• 11 Mavis // May 9, 2008 at 12:58 pm

  You should use the name of the first dog, or animal that you owned and the name of the first street you lived on.

  Mine would be Lucky Mentor.

• 12 foldingmachine // May 9, 2008 at 1:03 pm

  That should be babynames.org.uk — babynames.org is some site owned by (oh!) Oxygen.

• 13 foldingmachine // May 9, 2008 at 1:06 pm

  Also, babynames.org suggests Apryl, Aprelle, Aprila, Avril, or Apelila, if you decide April is your drag name.

• 14 nylasor // May 9, 2008 at 1:15 pm

  Up next, please welcome to the stage, Bunny Westminister!!

• 17 Eiain // May 9, 2008 at 2:52 pm

  I think Polly Styrene would be very suiting.

• 18 adrock // May 9, 2008 at 3:01 pm

  Lorry Tab

• 19 inerror // May 9, 2008 at 3:13 pm

  What’s the point? That drag queens are all African American? Racist crap! And an offense to non African-American drag queens everywhere.

  But more importantly, all these names are not recognized by the sited URL, baybnames.org . In fact, that URL, a supposed .ORG site forwards to a commercial site babynamer.com , revealing the whole sham is nothing but a spam rolling site.

  The graphic “babynames.jpg” is from a UK site - baybnames.org.uk listing names for African-American baby girls. The link on this page is invalid, leading (rolling) to the babynamer site which is not the source of the graphic of names a the head of this page.

  What the hell do Brits know about African-American’s anyways? Bunch of racist, black-face bastards!

• 20 adrock // May 9, 2008 at 3:25 pm

  As I study this list of names more I become simultaneously more enamored and disgusted with it. But first of all, since when is Akira an “African-American baby girl name”? How would you pronounce the name Afyia? And is it just me or is the name IllishaImelda just great?!…just me? oh, ok.

• 21 TW // May 9, 2008 at 3:38 pm

  Pepe Blackfoot???

• 22 Speedy Cerviche // May 9, 2008 at 4:35 pm

  Kara Zor-El. It’s what Nick Cage said he would name his future daughter.

  Best. Baby name. Ever.

• 23 JohnnyQuest // May 9, 2008 at 5:12 pm

  Something about Mabinty is very appealing. as is L’Tanga (sounds like a European version of the powdered orange drink). Actually, anything with an apostrophe is awesome. How about Baroness Octavia L’Tanga IV?

• 24 foldingmachine // May 9, 2008 at 5:18 pm

  Sunny D? Orangina? Tropicana?

• 25 Xanadude // May 9, 2008 at 5:30 pm

  I think given your profession: Alotta Mouth would be a nice one.

• 26 JohnnyBoy // May 9, 2008 at 5:38 pm

  Clinique is nowhere on that list

• 27 Speedy Cerviche // May 9, 2008 at 6:51 pm

  Shaniqua don’t live here no mo’!

  Shaniqua don’t live here no mo’!

  Shaniqua don’t live here no mo’!

  “Yo, is Shaniqua there?”

  HELL NAW.

• 28 pal Jacky // May 9, 2008 at 8:00 pm

  ‘nyquilla deVille’ seems pretty fitting. Then there is eurethra franklin for a retro feel.

• 29 Here For The Bun Exhibit // May 9, 2008 at 8:11 pm

  “What the hell do Brits know about African-American’s anyways? Bunch of racist, black-face bastards!”

  More than you do about punctuation…

  I prefer Negronda

• 30 SpiffBereft // May 9, 2008 at 9:31 pm

  According to the Pet/Street formula I’d be Candy Nickerson-Boulevard.
  You’re welcome to use my Drag Evangelist name: Betty Rae Millstone.

  Winchique

• 41 Speedy Cerviche // May 10, 2008 at 10:25 pm

  I always heard the porn star name went “middle name, street you grew up on”. According to that formula, my porn name is “Michael Paloma”, which is rather sexy, in a pencil mustache kind of way.

  My uncle, however, always will win this game. His porn name is “Alan Pole”. I’m just sayin’.

• 42 darkkommissar // May 10, 2008 at 11:54 pm

  i thought it was “name of your first pet and the first street you lived on” if so mine is

  Jaguar Valentine

• 43 darkkommissar // May 11, 2008 at 12:02 am

  as for the list I like

  J’Vonte’

  sounds like wine, or a crappy Cadillac from the early 80′ and we all want to be named after one of those…

• 44 JohnnyBoy // May 11, 2008 at 1:18 am

  My porn name is Flipper Center, but my boss had Roxie Longfellow, and my wife’s is Buster Broadway

• 45 pal Jacky // May 11, 2008 at 11:43 am

  Mine would be shane crenshaw. Very close to lord crenshaw the mythical L.A. Busrider in doblin’s ‘tales of a long night’ the I’m talking ‘berlin alexanderplatz’, doblin. You know the 1929 book that talks about the threat of the nazi’s.

• 46 chrisbcritter // May 11, 2008 at 12:29 pm

  Drag: Gypsy Sherman.
  Porn: Alan Crestwood. (sounds too British upper-crust for porn?)

• 47 Andre // May 11, 2008 at 12:50 pm

  Porn: Napolean Mariposa (I kinda dig that)
  Drag: (I thought this up myself and any outside use of it must credit me as its originator)…Fellatum O’Neal

• 48 elvisaintdead // May 11, 2008 at 2:53 pm

  porn: Sillky Pipes (v.o.’s and all)

  drag: Puppet Redwood

  no lie, the first man I ever hooked up with: Lamon Custer.

  say it out loud like LAYmon Custer and it’s pretty horrific. That was 18 years ago. haven’t thought about that in years.

  my formulaic drag name: Smokey Montgomery. love it.

  great queens I’ve known with great names: Trailer Dayne, Billie Ross, Tara O’Hara, Monet Duprée, Vicki Vox, Patty O’Furniture, and the best name of all: Mimi Imfurst (her site: http://www.mimiimfurst.com/Welcome.html).

• 51 rmsrmsrms // May 12, 2008 at 3:00 pm

  What I want to know is what is so racist about this list???

  Afro-Americans do tend to have names different from the names that Caucasians, Asians, Mexicans, or even Scandinavians have (yes I realize I am mixing races with nationalities).

  If I was Afro-American, a list like this could be as helpful as a list a Caucasian might use to pick a name like Susan, Betty, or Ann.

• 52 pronounce the j like a y // May 13, 2008 at 4:16 am

  I´ll keep it plain and simple: Bang-Bang la Dash

  Jack Hoffa!

• 55 JohnnyBoy // May 13, 2008 at 5:54 pm
