Subject: Your name

Noah,

I’ve given this plenty of thought and, quite frankly, your name sucks. I’ve decided that you should change it. As my main doppelganger you need a name that embodies strength, virility, and potency. I need you to have a name that sounds as if I plucked you directly off of the set of Dude, Where’s My Dildo? 

A name like Lockhart Steele. 

I mean, how can any of my peers respect me when my Number 2 has a name like Noah Robischon? It just sounds so Canadian. Or, even worse, FRENCH! Arianna makes fun of me all the time as it is.

So I’ve come up a few names that I feel would be a better fit for you to choose from:

Thor Thorndeep

Sven Sweetsauce 

Hugh G. Jackman

Manning Chowder

Rod Poundten 

Jory Sicha (So hot!) 

Boltlung Iron (It’s a play on words! Get it?) 

Dick Nenton (I really like this one) 

I suggest, you decide. Let’s meet in the cafe at McNally’s on Friday afternoon to discuss your decision.

XO,

Nick

PS- I’d also like for you to grow a Rollie Fingers-style mustache and to begin wearing a top hat. Thanks.
