You've heard -- or received an email or MySpace bulletin -- about how to figure out your "porn name." You simply take the name of your first pet followed by the street you grew up on (or the street you spent most of your childhood) and that's your fictitious porn name.

Taking it a step further, those of us who grew up in Milwaukee are in a porn name sub group, and part of the elite who have "Milwaukee porn names."

For example, I grew up on Milwaukee's East Side, on Downer Avenue, and had a scrappy, high-strung dog named "Woody" -- named after Woody Allen who is, now that I think about, rather scrappy and high strung himself. Hence, my Milwaukee porn name is Woody Downer, which sounds like a washed-up porn star in need of some Viagra.

Do you have a Milwaukee porn name? So what is it?
