Definitely articulated.

My mere whimsy in referring to my favorite poet as "Alexander the Pope" (when I quoted from one of his Essays last Monday) gives me an idea for a game. It's not up there with those exercises that give you your porn name (mine's Rocky Lampton) or your Jedi name*, but it's simple and occasionally produces dividends.

Just stick the definite article in between your first and last names and see if you sound like a fictional character, and if so, what from. Best yet: Salman the Rushdie -- pure Tolkein.

*Alabe Goyat, the Yehfiat of Levothyroxine. Not very good. More Fiddler on the Roof than Attack of the Clones. But the mem-sahib's name came out as "Marma Jobal," which is good, and the fact that there really is a character called Jobal in Revenge of the Sith -- a movie I'm proud to say I have never seen -- strongly suggests that George Lucas was running out of inspiration in the naming department, too.
