Iggy Azalea, who was born Amethyst Kelly, recently revealed that she chose her stage/gangsta rapper name by combining her dog's name with the name of the street she lived on. It worked out well for Amethyst, because Iggy Azalea's definitely a 'famous person name'. We decided on the Early Breakfast to see what Irish gangsta rapper names we could produce. Mine would be 'Indie Bath' (or in the bath, if you will!) but Helen Vaughan's would be 'Fidget Phoenix' (sexy!) and Ian Dempsey's would be 'Lola La Vista'!!!
There were equally hilarious names coming in via text and Twitter too!
"Larry Lakeshore" my budgie and Lakeshore drive..'
'Mornin love d show. Name would be Tubsy Towns. Dec in the daf'
'I'd be PUFF PADDY . David Cuddy Laois'
'Good morning. My rapper name would be: Cisco Rockfield, Paul in Maynooth'
'If u want to rock tune into sandy socks. Seamus trim'
'Spit vermiglio. My stupid brother named the dog. Paul '
"Rusty Bullock". No joke.. Mark. Carlow.'
' Mine would be muddy Henry , not much gangster in that !! '
'Chasing Muff. The dog got his name for constantly chasing his tail the rest is self explanatory . With a name like that you're not getting my real one'
'Eva bawnville more soul than Gangster. John Tallaght'
'Cliff Willow - as in our only childhood pets - goldfish Cliff and Richard {never had dogs as allergic} from Michelle in Swords'
'Baxter Doyle. Eoin in Waterford'
'Dusty Downs....I know it sounds more like a scruffy porn star!.....Richie on night shift in carlow.'
'Hey T. Mine is a bit more suited to the x factor. . . Max Green . . . What ya reckon? Will in cork '
'As I grew up in Scotland my name would be Jock Auchterarder from Jock the trucker'
'Tony the Bunnyman here on route to cork. My name would be ROCKY BROOKEHAVEN. Love the show'

'Smokey Church from Karl '
'My stage name would be Fonzie Chestnut. Cheers, Simon Cleary '
'My stage name aka (porn name) Rex Balcurris '
'My stage name would be Whinnifred Inchnagree. Wrath makes that even worse is my name is Rob. '

'Kasey cave would be mine from podge in the loader down in limerick. Says good morning to all'

@TforTeresanne Now I know why Gangstas live in cities. The meme doesn't work in rural townlands. Who would fear Guinney Ballykelly?
