You don't really see a lot of 'em. And yet, I bet you could fake out a lot of people with that! It might be a good move.
The trick is, you have to be born that way. Then it's ingrained in you. It has integrity. Nobody's going to be that impressed by a dude who decided to go by "Beth."
Here's an idea: if you find yourself giving birth to a manchild now or later, try naming him Beth, or something that shortens to Beth. Preferably something really awful, so that he'll have little choice but the short version as he grows older.
Or you know what else you don't see too often? Dudes named Jickard. And yet...that's a name with a touch of something extra.
But here's the other thing: if your kids go to court and change their name, can you take them to court, and force them to change it back? Or else suffer the immediate court-ordered restitution of all the money you say they owe you over food and clothes!!
If I ever visit Washington, that's a question I'm prepared to take all the way to the Supreme Court.
I'm not sure they'd let me in to ask, though. They should really set aside at least one hour every week for stuff like that.
