What does a name mean? Can you be fated to live a far harder life simply because your parents so happened to be thoughtless and "hip"? Actors change their names all the time, often to appeal to a wider audience and leave a lasting impression with a more "memorable" title. Changing the dynamics of your first impression can be a domino effect. Labels serve as an important marketing tool for many of the most successful individuals and companies. So what's in name? Evidently quite a bit.
