Question Title

Question Title

* 3. Ok, So What If The Above Applied But The Name Change Was Enforced; By An Authority Or External Process? (E.g, During the slave trade era, many people had their names changed by enforcement to effectively dissociate them from their heritage. Imagine if this was yourself and explore how you would feel about that.)

Question Title

* 4. Your Name Change Isn't By Force But It Was For The Purposes Of The Entertainment/Creative Industry; How Would You Feel About Detaching From Your Birth Name/Original Identity To Something New? (E.g, Thousands of Actors/Writer/Musicians and so on have been required to change their name, sometimes because they share the same moniker as an existing artist. Some have been asked to change their name with suggestions of better ones. Could we imagine Elton John, Bruce Willis, Alice Cooper etc being called anything but that. Put yourself in their shoes (or anyone else you can think of) and answer how they may feel about making a detachment from their birth name.)
