    It certainly has a better ring to it, and, IMHO, describes you better.

        You have to speak both names out loud, preferably in a falsetto voice, to see how ridiculous the second one sounds.

            Yes, but what about the sound? Go out into the garden and try it. No one in Addlestone will think you odd.

                      Well, the word "original" implies there are multiples, possibly copycat names. With that said, is your new/changed name just a copy of the original one? :-D

                              That makes sense. Yet, I wonder how you could tell. The representation is 100% identical down to the last bit for the two alternatives.
