      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.
