I don't care *what* your name is. Your name isn't you, nor vice-versa.

My grandmother was named Ethel. I work with a woman named Gladys. I know lots of people who have strange names, names which aren't currently fadish or popular.

I also run around with people who adopt completely different names. In fact, I don't even know some of their real names, and it has become second nature to me to call some people "Drake" or "Aislinn Firehawk", and even more odd than that.

I think people should be called what they wish, but by no means should anyone be ashamed of their given name. Sometimes when your folks have gone, that's all your left with that they gave you.
