Emphasis on Probing

We have always had an ongoing fascination with the manner in which people not wishing to go about professionally with their real names will happen upon a fake name that just tickles their fancy. You have absolutely zero say in your real name, obviously, as you were too young to offer much in the way of specific opinion at the precise moment someone made a decision to write it on a birth certificate. Whether you grew to love it, hate it, or pick some different nickname altogether, you always have that “Legal ID” following you around — at least until you get old enough to file a bunch of papers with a court to change it, for whatever reason.
