Watched CSI: Miami yesterday and noticed that one of the people involved in the show (I'm not sure what he/she is doing) had a peculiar name: "Botti Bliss". .... ..... Come on. If that was me, I'd change it.
We also had an ad running here in New Zealand a while back (for Plunket - sort of a child support foundation) and the name of the woman speaking was "Gay Dick". .... ..... Come on. I know the name goes well with Botti bliss (if you are so inclined), but please change it.

Heh, I suspect that the phone book is full of 'em. I once knew someone who claimed to have changed his name to 'Aansen' for no better reason than to be listed first in that same volumn. The coincidence was that the ship I was aboard at the time had an Aansen -- real name -- as well.
And I have written under a couple nom d'plume.

| That great old television satire series, SCTV, ran a spoof commercial on a law firm that specializes in legal name changes. "Why be dogged thru life with a strange name? Come to our law firm, 'Lipshitz and Lipshitz'; we specialize in legal name changes." |
"We are all connected; to each other biologically, to the earth chemically, to the rest of the universe atomically."
"So you're made of detritus [from exploded stars]. Get over it. Or better yet, celebrate it. After all, what nobler thought can one cherish than that the universe lives within us all?"

There is a wonder series of little hardbound books by John Train, (now out-of-print,) titled: "Remarkable Names of Real People". Really great - I highly recommend them if you can get them.
"Humperdink Fangboner" is one that sticks in my mind. |
Diversity, independence, innovation and imagination are progressive concepts ultimately alien to the conservative mind.
