Name changes will happen on the list for any one of
several reasons, that's life and we will have to deal
with it. Granted, name changes are fairly rare on our
list. Still between marriage, people who change their
name because they are unhappy with the name they were
born with (i.e.: who remembers Canadian Prime Minister
Avril Phaedra Douglas Campbell vs. who remembers Prime
Minister Kim Campbell) or ... other reasons ... name
changes happen...
