What's in a Name?
Would a rose by any other name truly smell as sweet?
Could Cary Grant have been the swashbuckling ladies' man that he was if he'd kept his given name, Archibald Leach? Would George Michael have been such a popular musician if nobody could pronounce his Greek given name, Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou? Maybe not-- and that may be why so many people are changing their names . . .
