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

      Just don't say it three times - it's a long way to Addlestone, and I won't be in a good mood when I get there ...

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

              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.

                            I must remember to introduce you Zathras, Zathras and Zathras down on Epsilon Three. But not Zathras, he's a real jerk.
