Very good question. Obviously that is part of the branding of my name even tho many of the newer people in the biz don't know what my name means much less how to pronounce it, much less care.

But I think it is a good idea regardless if you still live in the city/state/region or not. It's easily brandable, easy to remember, and can conjure up images which can go a long way to remember a person.

I lived in LA for 12 years and my name is Jay... henceforth LAJ. Now i'm in Austin and can conveniently call it Lonestar austin jay... LOL... doesn't really matter tho because we all live and work in cyber space when you really think about it. Thing is tho... I'm still "LA" in a lot of ways... I was an actor all thru the 90s, still know the city like the back of my hand, am somewhat metro, am into fitness, liberal, and all that other good shit that comes with being an Angelino... and yeah, I suppose some of the other stereotypes that come along with it.

So yeah... I think it's a good idea.
