Your Old Republican Name `
Your Old Republican Name is your Freshman college dorm (or your house) and a Best Supporting Actor/Actress nominee the year you were born.
Hi, I'm Menzies Stapleton.
For non-Americans and non-campus residents I guess you can use your school house or the name of the street you lived when you were 19.

Shall I be Keynes Tandy, or Barwell Ladd?
Barwell went further in life, I feel. She’s probably double-barrelled, titled, and/or an heiress, by now, spending her days in wealthy rural lesbian bliss like another Vita Sackville-West. Keynes however went slumming, I imagine, and flirted with political sedition when she fell for an anarchistic man, then tried to shape up all too late thinking she could pull a Prince Hal, only for her wicked family to cut her off.

Grossman Irving, however, was born Irving Grossman to Jennie (née Rosenfeld) and Moshe Grossman, a garment worker. He was raised in New York City and attended Brooklyn College, majoring in accounting, before taking a job with a firm in the South and changing his name. Never acquired a taste for bacon, though, candied or otherwise. He's old, but not Republican.
