just to confuse things, the wacky musician Spike Jones’ name isn’t really Spike either. He was born Lindley Allen Jones.

Yeah, I’d change it too.

Two point five million bond, Mr. Lee. The exposure is worth it, though…

Me, I’d go for Buffy-Spike, then Spike Jones, then… probably Lee.  
So we heil! Thbbt! Heil! Thbbt…
