Got your costume? Get your name

Snowdown participants aren’t really ready for Steampunk Snowdown 2015, which starts Wednesday, until they determine their steampunk name using this chart.

Snowdown enthusiasts spend months getting their costumes ready for the annual theme. For Steampunk Snowdown 2015, that means corsets, bloomers, goggles, gears and futuristic weapons.

But you’re not really ready until you’ve figured out your steampunk name.

This chart determines your steampunk name using a combination of your 21st century name, age and date of birth.

And since steampunk is very Victorian in nature, the names suggested have a taste of the historical. So are you an Ambrose Knightwaddle, Cuthbert Addlefeather or Percival Rumblebottom? Or an Emmeline Clankingstone, Winifred Rothfellow or Mildred Supperwood?

Snowdown Co-Coordinator Linda Brockway said the organization found the handy-dandy chart on www.spottedhound.blogspot.com.

There’s no need to print new business cards, as the name will be in effect only from Wednesday through Sunday.

Be a jolly good fellow, and call me Professor Josephine Wakefellow.
