What would it be? Ok, I suppose you could, legally, but just for kicks...what would you like to be called?
Bertha? Goober? MacDuff? ;)

Baby Names books are updated frequently and I'm not sure what the new popular names are, but I like the name Gideon. Just call me Gid, while I tie up my horse over here next to this spitoon, ok?

I thought this would be easy, but so many names come to mind, I don’t know what I like best. I love the way James Bond sounds. “The name’s bond—James Bond.” But it wouldn’t work with say Rusty Pipes. “The name’s Rusty—Rusty Pipes.” Nope! Not the same. Of course, I could always go the safe route and be Justin Case. Or I could be a bit of a bad boy as Jay Walker. I could practice magic and be Levy Tate. Or maybe I could be a classic novel writer as Warren Peace. And if you think you’re catch’in up with what I’m saying, you’re not because I’m Miles Ahead. So, stop frettin’ and Yul B. Alright.

By the way...you may like your name, and that's fine, I was just curious if any of you had given it much thought. Many people, especially Hollywood folks, change their name because it's an act of rebellion and rebranding. We don't choose our names, but changing it to something new is enticing and self-empowering to some. I asked with a sidewink but I was actually serious. Carry on...

Koraline.

I'd change it because I no longer want the tie to my mother. She came up with this weird, hippy/stripper name that's given me grief my entire life, and the constant reminder of my psychotic pedophile-loving Beldame is just a bit too much for me...

So I'm going to change it to Koraline Sage VanBuren someday and give my son a last name and a legacy he can be proud of.
