AMEN!!!!!

Why do you suppose they didn’t keep their real names?
For the record, if I were a nuts-o celebrity, and since they seem to be able to get away with bizarre behavior, perhaps I could change my name to “&”.

Born: Arnold George Dorsey, better known as Engelbert Humperdinck (I would've kept the birth name on this one)

Ampersand actually has a nice ring to it.

Ah, the poster formally known as andrew_no_one.

Actually, all of the Lord's people will get a new name one day:

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it. (Rev 2:17 NLT)

Someone had to say it

Bruce Wayne= Batman

I've had people call me everything except my name before. Usually as loud as the could scream too.




Wait.....maybe that's not the same though....................never mind.

Well, as long as they don't say anything bad about our Lord, or our mama.....

The thing is, how in the world do you pronounce the symbol that Prince was known as for a while? Just curious. God bless, and have a great day in the Lord!

Yours in Christ,

You can't. That's why he had to be introduced as "the artist formerly known as Prince." Pretty darn silly if you ask me--even though I believe it was a legal maneuver against those who owned the rights to his stage name. Even more bizarre, the chosen symbol supposedly combines the symbol for man and the symbol for woman--as if an unpronounceable symbol used as a name wasn't confusing enough. Very strange.
