snoop lion

so how do you feel about snoop’s name change?  read about it here if you’re interested.  i know, this is completely random. but i’m tickled by it and thought you might be too.  do you think it’s weird to change your name (celebrities aside)?

when i was 13 i wanted to change my name to marilyn barrett.  (combining my middle name- barrett with my teenage obsession with marilyn monroe).  god, how awful.  i’m turning pink just thinking about it!  but although i love my name now, there were times when i definitely thought it was THE WORST.  when you change your name i imagine you feel like you have a clean slate- a chance to become someone new and different. at awkward 13, that was definitely what i was looking for.  what do you think? have you thought about changing your name? would you ever do it?
