    Judge Lets Man Change Name To Jesus Christ

    POSTED: 12:46 am EST December 25, 2005
    NEW YORK -- A Manhattan man's holiday spirits soared to celestial heights this weekend when a judge gave him permission to change his name to Jesus Christ.Jose Luis Espinal, 42, of Washington Heights, said he was "happy" and "grateful" that the judge approved the change, effective immediately. Espinal said he was moved to seek the name change about a year ago when it dawned on him, "I am the person that is that name."Espinal, who acted as his own lawyer, got the change approved by Manhattan Civil Court Judge Diane Lebedeff, who said she was "satisfied that this application is neither novel, nor would granting it pose practical problems."The judge said name change applications usually are not denied just because the change might cause practical difficulties or be thought unwise, as long as a person with the same name does not object to the proposed change.She cited a 2001 Utah case in which a man legally changed his name to "Santa Claus" and a Washington, D.C., case earlier this year in which a name change applicant obtained a driver's license and Social Security card in the name of "Jesus Christ."The judge compared those cases with that of actor Peter Lorre's widow, who objected to a man who said he was the actor's relative changing his name to "Peter Lorie."Though laws differ by jurisdiction, the judge said, there seems to be a nationwide consensus that a name cannot be changed to a number. She cited a South Dakota court ruling against a change to "1069" and a California court rejecting "III" as name.The judge said she held a hearing in which Espinal, who also uses the last name Tejeda, testified. She said he was aware of the "common law right to assume another name without legal proceedings so long as the change is not made to deceive or perpetrate a fraud or to avoid an obligation" but wanted to go the formal route anyway.The judge said Espinal's "reasons were primarily those applicable to his own private religious beliefs and he stated no desire to use his proposed name to secure publicity, to proselytize, to fund-raise or advise others that he had been cloaked by the courts or government with a religious authority."Espinal, who is unemployed and unmarried and has no children, said, "This was not done for any reason other than I am that person. You're dealing with the real deal."




    I totally want to change my name to Lovely McAsshat.

    This is like tht guy that legally changed his name to "Trout Fishing In America", which IMHO is far cooler than "Jesus Christ". Not terribly original.

    For a while, I wanted to change my name to Fire, jsut for the fact that if I were walking down the street and some one i knew saw me, they would be yelling, "hey Fire, Fire, Fire!!" but then I realizad that i don't know a lot of people, so no one would be yelling my name.

    I want to change mine to Luscious Miffinstuffer.

    It sounds dirty, but there was a character on an episode of Scooby Doo by the name of Mrs. Muffinstuffer, she was a baker lady, some day when I open my own restaurant, i want to encorporate that name in to the restaurant!

    One other silly name change are those people back in the early 90s and late 80s who were changing their names to Michael Jackson, I bet they're feeling dumb now!!!

    Some one in the Church should have trademarked or registered "Jesus Christ" to prevent such blasphemes.
    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.

    Something tells me the name's a little too solidly in the public domain to trademark.

    PETA Staffer Legally Changes Name To KentuckyFriedCruelty.com

    POSTED: 1:33 pm EST December 30, 2005
    UPDATED: 1:54 pm EST December 30, 2005

    NEW YORK -- A 19-year-old PETA staffer has legally changed his name to KentuckyFriedCruelty.com.

    Chris Garnett, youth outreach coordinator for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, said he changed his name in support of the group's anti-KFC campaign.

    "People don't believe me at first when I tell them my name, but it never fails to spark a discussion," Garnett, er, KentuckyFriedCruelty.com, said in a statement. "Many vow to boycott KFC after I explain the company's indifference to cruelty to animals."

    Norfolk, Va.-based PETA's complaints against KFC stem from video footage shot last year recording alleged mistreatment of birds at a Pilgrim's Pride Corp. plant in Moorefield, W.Va. The plant is a KFC supplier.

    Yum! Brands, the parent company of KFC, has disputed the claims of mistreatment. In June, a grand jury refused to indict former workers at the West Virginia chicken plant.

    "Stacked" star Pamela Anderson, who has narrated a PETA video showing the alleged abuse, supports Garnett's name change.

    "I'm sure Chris can't wait 'till KFC stops torturing chickens so he can change his name back," the actress said in a statement, adding that the chicken abuse "is awful and has to stop."

    Heh, there was a great story a few years ago about a man changed his name to "Barclays bank are bastards" or something simular. But my favorite silly name change is "Tiddis Toilet Seat"!
