The Changing of the Names. Are we all just in the Re-Branding game? And is that just fine?
And it's very empowering. I like my name, and it feels right to me. So I'm not changing it. But in all seriousness, that identity shift is very important. It's a seminal moment in someone's journey. For me, one of the things that strikes me about corporations changing their names is it's really about rebranding and repositioning, and it's about marketing, and it's about telling a story

And they went so far as to now, when they mentioned stuff in the past of the wrestling company, they mentioned it instead of WWF. And that's always weird to me. But as far as personal, my stepbrother just 14, can't think of a better way to phrase it. But yeah, he had changed his name where he had a really ethnically sounding name to something more standard. And I can imagine he changed it for a multitude of reasons

So to change the symbol has a lot of power in that and may influence the way that you behave, the way that you think, the choices that you make, the way that you feel about yourself, which again will empower different choices. So, yeah, from a Corporation point of view, I think companies trying to move on or just disassociate from the one name because it's built again
And if there's only daughters in the family, they do not have to take on the name of their husband, but rather the husband takes on the name of the daughter or the wife, if you will, to keep that name in the family. So those are my thoughts about it. I do believe that it is and identity change rather corporate or personal. Thank you

It's the action of owning your identity in a way that requires you to change your name. And actually, it was so funny. As I was listening to these responses, I was thinking many years ago, a friend of mine started calling me Frankie because we were going to start a company called Frank and Shirley Productions. I won't go into that. But anyway, it was a production company never started. But she started calling me Frankie, and it stuck

It sounds like Frankie has her own identity. And I'm wondering if the people who know you mostly as Frankie, would describe you different than the people who know you mostly as Deborah. And what would those two descriptions be like? And yes, because you're one and the same person, there will be some overlap. But I wonder what are the strong characteristics of Frankie and what are the prominent characteristics of Deborah and that some people see one side of you? Some people see another side of you

So I don't know, our commercials keep changing. I used to date a woman many years ago, and she'd always be like, when you meet someone, it's the commercial. And then the main thing you got to better pray for is that you hope you like what you actually got because a commercial is meant to sell you on something. It's all the fluff. It's all the nice stuff. Not that it isn't true, but that isn't the everyday
