So, what’s the story with the recent name changes? I thought that wasn’t supposed to happen very much. Not that I want to change my name, but since I’m not personally notified when somebody gets their name changed, I don’t know who anybody is! What’s up? ---

Hell Sunshine, I don’t even know everyone who has changed names recently and some of prefer to remain anonymous, but if there is anyone specific I can help you with, just ask. I’ll do what I can.
