To wish all a wonderful thanksgiving - we have so much to be thankful for and don't express it enough. I thought the video was timely:

to the contrary, the name was not chosen from a Ouija board reading nor was it named after a woman once burned at the stake for witchcraft -- it was picked because the random name had a twisted sense of originality and misleading innocence, complementing the band's bizarre and macabre stage theatrics and lyric themes.
This is what I found so far on this but it doesnt answer the question Q has on their website
But there are lots of websites that say that he did get it from playing a quiji board
Just as there are a million stories in the Naked City, so are there at least as many theories as to how Vincent Furnier transmogrified into the legendary entity doomed to be revered and reviled the world over as Alice Cooper.
First and foremost of these is the story of what happened late one night while the group was visiting Dick Phillips (aka Dick Christian), their manager at the time. Phillips, a colorful character in his own right, had been urging the group to break out of their run-of-the-mill mold. That evening, just for laughs, his mother pulled out a Ouija board to do a reading. As soon as it began, however, the letter indicator began wildly skipping across the board, spelling out the name A-L-I-C-E C-O-O-P-E-R.
From that little incident, the boys concocted a tale that would only serve to enhance the Alice Cooper legend in the years to come: that Vince was the reincarnation of a young woman of the very same name--a woman who had been burned alive at the stake hundreds of years ago for being a witch!
Then again, Alice has been known to change his stories from time to time. . .
Sometimes he claims to have chosen the name because it had "a Baby-Jane/Lizzie-Borden-sweet-and-innocent-with-a-hatchet-behind-the-back kind of rhythm to it." At other times, he maintains: "Alice Cooper is such an all-American name. I loved the idea that when we first started, people used to think that Alice Cooper was a blonde folk singer. The name started simply as a spit in the face of society. With a name like Alice Cooper, we could really make 'em suffer."
Regardless of which story you choose to believe, of far more importance is the fact that the word suffer doesn't even begin to describe the damaging, senses-shattering assault that these guys inflicted on the mores of common decency. The Alice Cooper manifesto was an unrelenting, rampant commitment to the wholesale slaughter of every civilized tenet known to society. They created a designed-to-shock dynasty of decadence by pushing the limits of both rock 'n' roll and theatricality. The Alice Cooper Group's relentless pursuit of a higher level of satirical sonic brutality took outrage to its inevitable extreme.
So I think I'll go with the board one myself as there are no others that seem to fit

Good afternoon/evening my friends.
What a glorious day it was out there!!!
I was asleep by 11 last night only to be woken within 30 by a yappy dog 2 doors away.
Next time I go for a walk will take my little water pistol....
I made sure I was out in the sun today after heading to the market @ 7:30. If you do not
get there early there is no place to park. We bought what we wanted and left before it was overcrowded.
Thank you all so very much for you get well wishes and reps... !
My new meds are much better and I brought the old ones back to the pharmacy
for them to dispose of. So many people still flush them down the toilet...
I did go out in my sports car. It was so warm out there.. and it felt good!
Thank you for the trivia and for the cash tracks. I will added them later.
I will be repping after dinner and hopefully I will get those I missed then other day..
Have a good dinner everyone
