An Alias for, y'know, Just in Case.

In english class we just finished reading The Great Gatsby. I thought the book was pretty good, crazy amounts of symbolism, but none of the characters were very likeable.
Anyways, at one part, it is revealed that Gatsby's name he goes by is actually an alias. His real name is James Gatz but then he became rich (and a bootlegger) and changed his name is Jay Gatsby.

I feel I should have an alias handy and ready for any of those just-in-case situations. If I were to become famous it'll be my stage name, or if I was hit on by some gross creeper and he asked my name, or maybe if I am an eye-witness to a crime and I'm forced to go undercover in the Witness Protection Program in Australia! (Oh come on, like you've never seen that Mary-Kate and Ashley movie)

So I've been brain-storming some possible names.

I can't use any of my children's names because I don't want to ruin that name for when I do have children. So Aiden Thomas and Charlotte Alexis are out.

In The Great Gatsby, there is a character named Ella Kaye. Ella Kaye - that's so pretty. That is definitely one of my choices because that book was the inspiration behind this.

Have you ever done one of those survey things online that gives you your superhero name, rapper name, etc. according to things about you? (breathe)
One of mine, I think my 'porn star name' to be exact, would be Ruby Queen. I guess if I were to ever chose to be a porn star (HAHA -ew) or any other reason to change my name Ruby Queen would be an option.

When I was first born, I was named Hailey. My grandma came into the room, my mom told her my name, and my grandma said we have to change it because she simply just doesn't like the name Hailey. If they were to originally go with the name Hailey, my initials would have been H.E.R (but thanks my grandma, my initials are J.R.F.E.R, catchy, I know). If I were to be born a boy, one of the name choices was Norman (after my dad's BFF).
So, another possible choice for an alias, Hailey Herman.
Kind of rolls off the tongue, no?

Ella Kaye. Ruby Queen. Hailey Herman.

If you meet in your lifetime with one of those names... it's not me. *SHUSH*
