'Way back when I lived in Schenectady NY and was serviced by NY
Tel/NYNEX, I had an interesting chat with one of the business office
representives.  She told me I could put my phone *listing* in any name
I desire.. it didn't even have to be my own.  I asked her "You mean I
could use my deceased grandfather's name?" (thinking that a male name
would be safer than a female name).  "Yes", she replied.
