Contrary to the individulas named above, I did NOT change my name to gain popularity or publicity. There is nothing funny in the name per se, but I find it pathetic when celebrities or wannabe celebrities change their names for publicity purposes. Similarly pathetic are names concocted by adverstisers, such as Friendly's, Mr. Goodwrench, etc.
