February 13 is “Get a Different Name Day”
Now, as a rule I don’t think much about my name. I’d wager I think about it about as little as you do (and considering you don’t know my name, that can’t possibly be very often) and although it’s not fancy or unusual, it’ll do for its intended purpose.
Not everyone can be so lucky, however, and I’m sure some of you are just dying to select a new name. In light of that, permit me to suggest a few possibilities. Try one on for size today and let me know how it goes:
1. Captain Fantastic
2. Jack Bauer. (On second thought, better not take this unless you think you can take him in an unfair fight. Unfair, because he’s probably going to take you out before you even see him coming.)
3. Bond. Harold Bond. (Then tell them you’re James Bond’s long-losttwin brother.)
4. James Nasium. (But call me Jim…)
5. Barbara Wire. (Goes by Barb)
I’m sure you can come up with others on your own. Feel free to join the fun.

“Bucephalus”? Quit horsing around with this cross-species stuff, RYak.
*sheesh*
(Although, if cross-species is in, I might try for “Ymir” or something along those lines. Some days, it seems like brute force is more appealing than reason… )
