    Are you SURE it’s not the other way ’round? That the streets were named after the star?

    Hmm, if you take the nearest intersection where you grew up and took that as your screen name, mine would be Lincoln Fullerton. Hey! That f’n works! I am SO doin’ it!

    Wasn’t there something on Will & Grace about using your street name when selecting a drag name?

    for that wonderful drag/porn star name, you select the name of your favorite pet and a street name from your childhood.

    Somehow, “Union 1100 Avenue” doesn’t quite have that same ring to it. 🙂

    Peck did not change his name to suit Hollywood. My father was a lot like the characters played by Peck and had a resemblance to him.

    Hmmm. Ollie Louise.

    That’s not good. Ollie Main/Hwy. 467?

    Current: Ollie Majestic Oak Pl.

    And what if your pet has one of those full AKC names? Had a standard poodle once named Lady Creme de Mocha of Schel which, when you think about it, might be cool drag name if I were black.

    Does that mean that Paris Hilton was named for the place where she was conceived?

    Sorry, couldn’t resist. 😉
