Having a great sounding name that is probably fabricated, yet well documented is the first cornerstone of a great spy!
When choosing a name that you will use as a handle consider 3 things:
1. Your Handle should be common.
The more easily your name can be confused with people that actually exist the better.
Steve Johnson is a super name - there are 12 in our phone book in a city of 80,000 people.
2. Your Handle should be Ethnically appropriate.
I am sure there are tons of John Wongs out there - but I am a 6" white guy, so I will stick with a Smith or a Jones.
3. Your Handle should be easy to pronounce.
The last thing you want to keep doing while "acting all spy like" is giving a spelling/phonics lesson to everyone you are introduced to.
Once you have a common, appropriate easy to pronounce name you will need to start working on getting that name working for you.
The following is for educational purposes only:
see how easy it is for you to get documents corroborating your new moniker.
A library card, a bank account, a passport?
Start small and find out what is required for "leveling up" your paperwork, you will be surprised how far a free email address will go to get you started!
Have fun with this and find out what ID is required, and what people looking to just "move the paperwork on" are willing to trust you on.
Stay Spy'n!
