I'm surprised that none of us New Yorkers have mentioned former congressman Anthony Wiener. (Ironic because he resigned amid a public scandal due to him posting naked pictures of himself.)

If you really hate your name, you can have it legally changed.

Just sayin'.

Sorry to revive an old thread but it's hilarious enough that I'm not very sorry!

Did you know that designer Ralph Lauren has a son David who married Lauren Bush, granddaughter of George H. W. Bush? So she became Lauren Lauren.

There’s a lot of truth in this post only if you consider the meaning of the Hebrew name

I’ll give you an example
You want your child’s name to mean reveal blessing —not conceal blessing.
You don’t want a name that means injury even in Yiddish.
You want names that are proven to bring good mazal and a good destiny to your children.

And the name is the destiny. See book “service of the heart”. Hashem asks us after 120 if we lived to our name. There are so many permutations of the meaning of the name. I keep finding new meaning and applications for mine.
