a Polish name - (ie. add a -ski to the end of it, Rick Springfieldski) 

or maybe a Jewish name (I'm thinking the -stein suffix, like maybe Bruce Springstein)

not sure if people would find that offensive.  guess it depends on your sense of humor.

Doing parodies of performer names sounds fun..

Bruce Springstein = Bruised Stringbean
Olivia Newton John = Oblivion Neutron Bomb
Roberta Flack = Roberta Flakjacket
Eric Clapton = Eric Crapton (malcolm came up with these last two)

Not sure I can do semi racial stuff (Eminemski?), but if offensive is the goal:

Toby Keith  = Turban Keith
Dixie Chicks = Chicks with Dicks
Avril Lavigne = Evil Latrine, Anvil Ravine, etc.

offensive really isn't the goal... I think there's a new band names section still on amIright which probably covers this territory anyways

well... there already is a "New Band Names" section where people have been submitting replacement names for performers... but these go far beyond that. ::) If people submitted stuff like this, then that would probably constitute abuse.

Heck, someone already submitted 'Olivia Neutron Bomb' to that section a long time ago.

Joan Armatrading = Joan Armoured-Plating

Then there are those that are borderline between actual errors and performer name parodies. Like I once heard of Aretha Franklin being erroneously referreed to as "Urethra Franklin". And that has also been oft repeated as an intentional spoof of her name. And I heard someone once refer to "Gladys Knight and the Pimps", apparently oblivious of the error. And then I must have heard several independent references to "Dolly Fartin'".

Dixie Chicks = Chicks with Dicks

I've been calling them that for years.  ;D
