The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (cbc.ca) is running a story about a woman who has changed her name to a internet domain name (URL) [^] by deed poll name.
The 19 year-old American, previously known as Jennifer Thornburg, changed her name in order to protest against animal dissections in schools. Her driving license now shows her name as being “Dissection.com, Cutout”.
Apparently this has been known to prompt some discussion, but apparently her family still know her as Jennifer. I would love to know what name she is using when she goes for a job interview!
Anyone would have thought that this is something unusual – after all there has been a CannibalRabbit.com for the past four years!
Just going through and cleaning up some broken links. You can now find this on news.cnet.com: Teen shows why you should change your name to Apple.com
