David Jones changed his last name to Bowie because he didn't want to be confused with Davy Jones from the Monkees.

Think of it as a chance to come up with a super cool name. Might I suggest Stevie Eagle.

But in all seriousness can you add a middle initial? Like mary j blige

I’ve thought about the name change a lot.

So it’s not a standard name, it’s an abstract spelling of an already not so standard name - it’s quite specific…. so I would need to change the whole thing all together and have yet to come up with a good alternative.

The other thing that just grinds my gears about it is that if I switch my name, I have to do all the backend work that comes with that (llc, rights, distributor, branding, etc).

I want to be optimistic about a name change, it is just a lot of work and re-branding when I’ve yet to even land on something else I like. Im not entirely opposed, I just don’t see a different name clearly for me.
