Make yourself an acronym.

Words are fun. One day I had the weird idea to make acronyms using only the letters of my name: K.O.A. Knock-Off Art was the first one that gave me this idea then my silly curiosity took it from there. As I went along I wound up creating more restrictions for myself.
  1. Each phrase should make sense. Not to say nonsense is bad. Look at me, I love nonsense. This whole concept is absurd, but I found the acronyms more interesting when they lacked context, rather than coherence. I wanted there to still be some meaning, something to make you wonder, even if it was small.

  2. Use unique words. Basically, don't repeat yourself. Not a hard rule, as I found myself occasionally repeating 'On' or 'Of' a few times in an attempt to follow Rule 1, but for the sake of variety it's worth following, especially for the colorful nouns and adjectives.

  3. Punctuation is allowed. Even encouraged. I think it helps with the variety of phrases and adds an extra layer of character. Again, as long as it follows Rule 1.
That's it. I'm still surprised at how many I was able to get out of these limitations. Making sensible phrases out of only three words that all start with the same letters is tough, but it's also a fun puzzle.

I haven't tried this with any other names, but I suspect shorter names would be easier than longer ones. If your first name is too long to be fun, you could always use your initials, middle or last name, or even a nickname. Whatever works.
