While pointing to posts for W I came across this hilarious little game on Guest of a Guest and had to include it in my weekly roundup for W and here. Remember when you could figure out your porn star name by combining your pet name with the street you were born on? Well this is just like that only much more upscale. This game allows you to figure out what your name would be if you were really born with an Upper East Side pedigree, and while I admit that socialites are the most boring celebrities, there is something about this exercise that is irresistible. Maybe its the bar cart in name form, or maybe its like when you buy a lottery ticket and think about what you would do if you actually won.

In this fantasy Francesca Castagnoli is transformed to Lolly Pulitzer. Which I have to say is a pretty seductive. Would my life be so different as a Pulitzer, would I be Lolly because my great aunt is Lilly? Maybe? On a cold January morning its fun to think about it.  As for the rest of my family: David Moore = Tyler Casiraghi. Conrad Moore = Champion Casiraghi. Dashiell Moore = Tyler Casiraghi II. Our babysitter, Jessica Himmel = Muffy Santo Domingo. Once you start, its hard to stop.

Here’s the whole post from GofaG. Oh and your guess is as good as mine as to why Julia Reston Roitfiled (far left) is doing a Joker impersonation.

Julia Restoin Roitfeld, Genevieve Jones, Valesca Guerrand Hermes, Lauren Santo Domingo, Tinsley Mortimer, Zani Gugelmann…if you want to take your seat next to these ladies next month at Fashion Week, you’re going to have to get yourself a new name.-

It’s not just breeding (and social climbing) that sets these ladies apart; their delightfully unique and pedigreed names are a must for fitting in with the UES set, and let’s face it, “JESSICA SMITH” doesn’t look as good splashed across Page Six as “TINSLEY MORTIMER” does.

If you think your name is too boring or weird, pick out a new one for yourself based on our list, using the first letter of your first and last name.

For instance, The Guest of a Guest Team, transformed into WASP-y Socialites, would be:

Editor In Chief: Rachelle Hruska Charlotte Santo Domingo
Publisher: Cameron Winklevoss Champion Spencer
Managing Editor: Sarah Mandato Georgina Casiraghi
Associate Editor: Chiara Atik Tippy Darlington
Advertising: James Brooks Stanton Gaffney
Event Manager: Sarah Kunst Georgina Guinness
Staff Writer: Billy Gray Chip Bancroft
Editor At Large: Stanley Stuyvesant Stanley Stuyvesant
