    Agreed. It's one of those ACT relational questions.

    When your parents name you Albert Einstein, a life in comedy is assured.

    Dan Patrick Pugh. Admitted as much - or Keith Olbermann helped - in their book "The Big Show" in the late '90s.

    More than an isolated TV/radio personality has used first and middle names as their pseudonyms.

    San Diego sports talk radio legend Lee "Hacksaw" Hamilton is named neither "Lee" nor "Hamilton."

    His name is Paul Mahan and he got pissed at a Union-Tribune media columnist who printed his real name a few years back.

    He was the play-by-play guy for the Mohawk Valley Comets of the North American Hockey League on the night the Johnstown Jets' Carlson Brothers invaded the stands in Utica, N.Y., an incident which led directly to "Slap Shot" and was of course incorporated into the film.

    And yet Hacksaw WAS his confirmation name.

    I don't know where I got Dan Patrick Mahoney from. My bad.
