The Name Game

On occasion I like to take a look at weird names,the results this time not only include birth names (abuse or cruelty?) but also people who changed their names for reasons that must have seemed like a good idea at the time. First on the list is a baby whose parents thought it would be cute to be named after an illicit drug (ketamine) her full given name,Urhines (your highness) Kendall Icy Eight Special K. The Golden Palace internet casino paid $15,000 for a baby to be named in its honor,the result,GoldenPalaceDotCom Silverman. A member of PETA changed his name to KentuckyFriedCruelty.com to protest animal abuse by KFC. A young Javanese man is named after two superheroes,Batman Bin Suparman. Last but not least,Dick Assman of Canada who claims his name is pronounced uzman.
