Default Big Bushy Beards & Names

Hiya folks,

Being a new feller to the clowning communitiy, I have a few questions.

1) My father was a clown when I was a child and he called himself "Popcorn," One of my nicknames is "Bingo," and the liscence plate on my truck says "ITOOTED." The thing is, it seems that all of those names are being used by other clowns ("toot" being the last one). So my question is: Once someone choses a clown name anywhere in the world, is it proper to respect that and try to chose a different name, or is it commonly accepted that clowns may have the same names in different places?

2) I have a relatively big beard (between 3 and four inches long) and I am creating a hobo character. Any thoughts about very big real beards on hobo clowns? You can see it in my avitar picture (slighty shorter than it is now). I've looked around and haven't been able to find any examples of any clowns with big ol beards. Any opinions and/or input would be appreciated.
