There is an old game where you can determine your “porn star” name by taking the street name where you grew up and your pet’s name. That one never really worked for me because the only street name I could remember of the houses I grew up in was Genesis Drive, and our family dog is named Pearl. Genesis Pearl sounds like a Clive Cussler novel, not an adult film actor.
I found a much more entertaining game on a cool blog called Presurfer. The game here is to come up with your hypothetical Band’s name, album title and cover art for your first album.
You do that by:
- Band Name: Random Wikipeda Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
- Album Title: Random quote generator (take the last four words from the quote) Link: http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
- Album Art: Flickr Interesting Photo: http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
Mine actually came out well:
- Band Name: Ernst Gaupp (a 19th centry German antomist, but it sounds like an ironic punkish kind of band)
- Album Title: Thanksgiving to the Gods
- Album Art: See Below – I mocked up an album cover in Photoshop, I’m pretty happy with it

Genesis Pearl doesn’t sound very porny, agreed, but Pearl Genesis sure does. You could be forgiven for cheating a little.
Hey there. You and I were brought home from the hospital to mom and dad’s house on Easy St. in Tyler… and Tara was the first dog we had….so Easy Tara would be my name.
Lauren, I have to say that one is the winner.

I loved this game!
My band in Kinleith Mill, and our first album is Cushion for Old Age
