So, what's your blues name?

I have no middle name. But if I use my nick as a middle name I come up with:
Ugly Dog Rivers
I like it!
I might even adopt it as a stage name.
My Wu-Tang name: Tuff Professional

Dr Nyl
Sleepy Money Thompkins, the 2 first seems fitting!
-
Richard Hudson
Skinny Boy Rivers - maybe at one time...

Dave_K, thanks for reminder of The Legendary Blues Bagpipes Of Jamie Mcgee. Part two is most instructional on the origin of McGee's signature wheeze.

Sleepy Gumbo King. Yeah, I can see me nodding off over a bowl...
Not blues-related, but name-related: one of my buddies played at Jazzfest this past weekend, and the reportage (the New Orleans Times-Picayune, I believe) described his guitar solos as "curt and dirty," so he has declared he's going to change his name to Curt Dirty.
I don't think he actually will, but still...

Wow Paul!
I was thinking more like Blind Lemon Jefferson, but I'd kinda like to hear McKinley's stuff.
Gangrenous Banana Taft has some harsh sounding stuff, too.

Do you think that Elvis would have been as successful if was known as Texas Bones Bradley?
How 'bout Buddy Holly as Sticky Hips Rivers?
Or Eddie Cochran as Texas Dog Hopkins?
