Growing up, one of my sisters (I had 4!) went through a phase where she wanted to be called something other than her given name. If I recall correctly, the names were variations/nicknames of her own name so it wasn't too drastic. > She said that she was an spiritual dog, or something of the sort, and i never > actually cared to much.
