                    For a lot of the newer members, that one will slide right on by. [Note] For those that don't know, Anna-Jayne used to be called Princess Leia - her name was changed to protect her from reprisals when the Empire collapsed. [Double note]I could have made that last bit up.

                      The beauty of that name would be instant identification to telemarketers. "Is Mr. or Mrs. Norman-Walker-Gorgyorsa...mumble.. muble... muble home?

                        Alas the Empire did collapse and is known now as The Commonwealth. A shame. I much preferred it when we ruled the world.

                                        Etaoin Shrdlu[^]. Hector Plasticbrick or Fik Dimley (my son invented these when he was at primary school).

                                        One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

                                          When I was being interviewed for my Citizenship in Los Angeles, the officer told me that they offered a name change as a free service (presumably for people who wanted to anglicize their name). Well, at the time my name was Ian Armstrong-Dennis. (I was born Ian Dennis, but I'd changed it to Armstrong-Dennis when my mum remarried a Dr Armstrong.) I'd dropped the hyphen so Americans didn't think I was a double-barreled snob, so I took advantage of the service to change my name back again to Ian Dennis. After I left the DOJ office, I phoned my girlfriend (now my wife) and told her I'd passed my test and just had my oath of allegiance before becoming American. Then I casually added "Oh, and I've changed my name". There was a few minutes silence, and then she nervously asked "What to?" "Jose Rodriguez"
