Good thread! For some names that aren't really words, I make up my own names for them. For example, mmo3gn is Morgan in my head and lgnutah is iguana. You know how if you just glance at a word and think it says one thing...I'm not crazy! Oh, and Paula Bedard, I always read her name as Paula Bread
Augustus McCrae is from Lonesome Dove, so that's where Gus got his name from. My husband originally found this forum and registered as Augustus McCrae, so me being not so creative, took Agustus McCrae's mom.
