    Myself and Mrs.Osis have been known to book in to hotels as Lance Boyle and Ruth Vegetable while holding a straight face.

    Ever used a fake name in your travels?

    Quite often, I wouldn't have got through the Iron curtain without one!

    Yeah, I've had the same stock fake name since I was a young rapscallion. Still gets deployed at times.

    Used one with the gardai when I was about 13. That went down well. In my defence, I didn't realise they could punch you in the face for that kind of craic. Lesson learned.

    Yes, when reserving a table at a restaurant often use different last names. There is an eatery I go to that does sandwiches, pizza, pasta. You select your pizza, toppings, etc and put your name on the bottom line. Last time it was fun having them shout out 'Percival!' when the order was ready. :)

    I used the name Soo Do Nimh once. :D

    People thought I was a Vietnamese girl.

    Well, when your real name is Manuel Twococks you kinda get used to needing pseudonyms a lot. A pain I know only too well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 893 ✭✭✭PLL


    Yep, use my middle name and my boyfriend's surname on occasion. It isn't a very exciting name, but I like the sound of it as an alternative to my own sometimes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,812 ✭✭✭thelad95


    I always do it in Starbucks. Ernesto, Vicento and Ulick are my favourites.

    If I ever gave a son, I'm calling him Boneyarsebogman. ;)

    When unsolicited phone calls come thru looking for the purchasing manager I introduce myself as Drew Peacock ...still raises! a laugh at work

    Lord Fotherington-Smyth.

    I phone up put on a posh accent and pretend to be the PA. Booking using my credit card and name. I insist that the Lord doesn't like anyone using his title, he's a very down to earth sort. I turn up and walk into my freely upgraded room.

    Yeah "Gold-N-Brown" when I used to sell "stuff" on Silk Road.

    Way back in 1997 I was purchasing a ticket to go see a band in the Point from a kiosk. As the nice lady was processing it, she asked what name to put on the ticket...and for some reason I said "Sideburns".

    She looked at me. I looked at her. She printed the ticket.

    I still have it somewhere.

    I was a supervisor in a factory and the factory staff were arranging a weekend away in Killarney. It was frowned upon by the management to socialise with the factory staff so I put my name on the list of people going as Prudence McGee.

    Never have done, but this thread is inspiring me!

    Only a slight variation on my actual name. I'm not very inventive :(
