HAHAHA James Newell Osterberg Jr. (Iggy Pop)

If you're named James Osterberg and you grow up in a Michigan trailer park, there are three easy steps to shedding your Osterbergian image:

1) Name self Iggy Pop.

2) Tear shirt off.

3) Bleed.


I figure first would be Bob Dlyan but its just a guess I mean Robert Zimmerman?
although the real #1 Is much funnier

[Jixzer]

What about Elvis?

"Elvis" just sounds like a name that would get you beat up. I guess nobody thinks that now due to it's relation to the hip shaking King of Rock n' Roll.

But seriously...Elvis for a guy is as bad as Ingrid for a girl.

First of all, grammer...not your strong suit.

Second, comprehension...not so strong either.

I think he was making a general observation, not an all inclusive statement. Reread the thread title.

OK -- so I was wrong. But why isn't that name on the list!!!!??????

The guy who made it likes rappers too much. And with Kenny G, Biz Markie, and Tiny Tim, there would be 4 "Everyone knew they were nerds"
Needs Robert Zimmerman (Bob Dylan)
And Jeffery Hyman (Joey Ramone)

[Rockbandfan23467]

Bumping...

[Quinarvy]

Ah, #1 is gold.

Chaim Witz
Stanley Harvey Eisen
George Peter John Criscuola
Paul Daniel Frehley

Chaim Witz
Stanley Harvey Eisen
George Peter John Criscuola
Paul Daniel Frehley

Yep, those guys are a bunch of nerds.

[Indigo_Dingo]

I got one. Bruce Dickinson. Seriously, unless it was synonymous with cool on every level, a name could only sound gayer if it was something like Jakof Cocksuck Mcwillylover the third.

Also Brian Warner.

[Sunshine-Kinetic]

Also Brian Warner.

You left out the "hugh" that goes in the middle. I second that... Marilyn Manson's real name reminds me of a guy who should be avidly searching for his pocket protector.

[Parodygm]

Gordon Sumner (Sting) anyone?

[0tj]

No wonder rappers change their names.............

[lpunderground19]

Cool list. I knew Kiss would win. Chaim Witz?

Linkin Park's got some geeky ones. Chester Bennington? Bradford Delson?

[Rockbandfan23467]

Gordon Sumner (Sting) anyone?On The List.

[SteelersFreak1]

Alex Lifeson's (guitarist for Rush) real name is Alexander Zivojinovich. I think the last name is Serbian and it roughly translates to something like Lifeson.

[Steef]

OK -- so I was wrong. But why isn't that name on the list!!!!??????

Good question...

[next jimmy page]

i would definitely change my name if it was...
