With every new year, I grant myself a new appellation, just to mix things up and scare people a little.

Last year it was Joyce Purnick, but that didn't stick.

So this year I want something as catchy as a disease, but much more fun.

Here are the choices:


Harriet Turtletaub

Hal "Soup Dumplings" Weinraub

Crack Bitch

DJ Princess Puffer

Jiminy "Da Man" Jenkins

Sir Jordan Almonds

Pumpkin Spice Latte Rockefeller III

Dennis Appointment

R. Leakage

Libby Libby Libby

Featuring Janelle Monae

MC Atticus Fingers

Lady Dolph Marmelstein

Samantha Barks

Joyce Purnick Jr.

According to Facebook, he's already settled on Libby Libby von Libby Marmelstein Mellencamp.

I don't particularly like any of those.

How about "Cinderella Battistella," the name of a show I co-wrote?

It would honor your glittering transformation and your heritage.

My collaborators were Bob Bruce and the late composer Fred Palmisano.

Jiminy is a good first name - try it with Crickette.

I''m liking the mashup..."Harriet (or Joyce) Turtletaub St. Dennis" (hyphen optional)

I was all for "Libby Libby Libby" (possibly with one or more exclamation marks, a la Toni! Tony! Tone! or whatever that was, until I saw the genius that is "Joyce Purnick, Jr."

Definitely "Featuring Jonelle Monae".
