I know for a fact that there was a real person named Marvin C. Atnip.
In town here we have some musicians with fanciful names. Ivanhoe
Jolicoeur is a trumpet player (Ivanhoe Goodheart, loosely translated),
as was Lafleche Doré (the golden arrow) now deceased. Eric Rock and Jim
Head are guitarists, and Alec Walkington is a jazz bassist. These are
all the names they were born with, as citing stage names would be
cheating. I saw credited on a program once "Réal Lebasseur - bass"
which is close to meaning "really the bassist" but I suspect it was a
fake name to fool the musicians' union.
When I was a teenager we lived next door to a podiatrist named Dr.
Foote. His building exploded the year after we moved away. It almost
(but not quite) made up for the years I had to hear "We wish you a
merry Chris Smith", "It's starting to look a lot like Chris Smith" and
"Hey, Chris Smith! When'th Eathter?"
Christopher Smith
