How about "Adam Nobody"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hym0afc03pE

That name change got him a beating by the cops when they thought he was being a smart a$$ when they asked him his name.

"What's your name?"

"Nobody"

Smack!

When I was in the army, there was a captain whose last name was Marvel. I would have had it changed if it were me, or at least worked really hard for a promotion.
I also came across a fellow who was so angry about his parents giving him initials instead of a real name that he got a legal change to Fish.

Hmmmm...."Captain Awesome", huh?!

Well, I guess that's not so weird.

Ya see, I have to admit that a while back in order to "spice up" the ol' sex life between the wife and myself, I actually thought of changing MY name to "Corporal Punishment"!

(...but I couldn't find any decent deals on whips and chains over the internet!)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Brazen Hussey. the last name could be bad enough for a girl. Why would her parents give her that first name?

Ida May Crow (then again, she may not.) Grew up with my mother.

A guy in my last squadron was named John Priem. He married a girl named Sue.


We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
