We don’t give ourselves names

If you had to change your name, what would your new name be?

And I don’t know whether it is a good thing or not. What we are known by is what others decided to call us. Some had very creative parents who named them after mathematical or chemical formulas, you know like Na Chi or Pi Lee or Hillman jagot. Other people were given names at the height of a soap opera – Alejandro or Jesus.

And what is in a name? Does it matter what name you go by unless for extreme cases where you need a new identity? Say you have been running a pyramid scheme in one area and want to start a new one in a different locale, should you start the business under your old name or new name? Will this be good for business?

My new name would be like my old name, maybe just shorter.
