Nathan Exposed » Nathan Richards?

HELP! I need a fake last name.

Here’s the deal: I don’t use my last name on my blog, which isn’t so unusual. Most bloggers do prefer to keep their last names private. But sometimes it does get frustrating not having a last name to post. E-mail is another good example. For 2 years, I had my e-mail set-up to show messages from “Nathan”. I shudder to think how many people must have thought it was spam when they saw a one worded name in their Inbox. I finally changed it to “Nathan Exposed”, which sounds just as spammy.

So I need a name. A fake name. And I’m terrible with fake names. How about Nathan Richards? It’s a dirty joke. “Dick” is a short name for “Richard”, so I could be like Nathan Dicks, only Nathan Richards so it’s not so obvious.

No?

Okay, how about something European or exotic? How about a strong German last name? I have ancestors from Germany. Nathan Brandt means “fire”. Nathan Faust means “fist”, heh. Freud means “joy”. Nathan Freud, I like that.

Nathan Nussbaum means “nut tree”. Again, I like that. It has a nice ring to it.

Nathan Lang? Lang means “long” in German, and has just enough similarity to sound like Nathan Lane.

I guess I could name myself after my first dog, Nathan Bouncer. Yes, my first dog’s name was Bouncer. I don’t remember why.

Any ideas?

Keeping with the “D” theme, why not “Deveraux” (esp. if you’re a Golden Girls fan).

Or Dauterive (if you’re a King of the Hill fan).

Held. (Which means “luck” in Danish, and “hero” in German.)

I think “Nathan Poo” is perfect… It ties in so much that makes you “Nathan”, doncha think?

So many interesting ideas. Thank you!

And Robin, “hero” is very nice I appreciate that.

How about just your first initial of your last name (like mine)? Or simple:
Nathan Lee
Nathan Gee
or steal something from tv or movie
Nathan Pitt
Nathan Jolie
or something totally obcure
Nathan Fitzpatrick
Nathan Zen
Nathan Bravo

Good luck!

Hello Nathan, here are a few suggestions from The Netherlands:

Nathan Peaks
(I bet you will!)

Nathan O’Hara
(winds blow)

Nathan Underwood
(if you’re a bottom?)

Nathan VanDenHaag
(always stunning to give people the idea you’re from dutch origine, and ‘Van De’, Or ‘Van Den’ adds some class! All you need is to work on the right pronounciation!)

Thanks for ‘NathanExposed’; Great Site!
