What’s your public radio name?

As a huge NPR/WBEZ fan, I always wanted a public radio-worthy name, like Sylvia Poggioli or Kai Ryssdal or local favorites Amad Omarr or Rob Wildeboer.

Luckily some Twitter buzz led me Tumblr blogger Liana Maeby’s excellent system:

You take your middle initial and insert it somewhere into your first name. Then you add on the smallest foreign town you’ve ever visited.

Yes! I am now Ahugh Samet. What’s your NPR name?
