We don’t have much control of our names. We’re stuck with our names at birth for instance but, if female can do something about it by marrying. But choose carefully. Cherida, a close relative (definitely not transgender) swapped George for Fuchs. This led to all sorts of misunderstandings despite being a most virtuous person. One particular grouse was with the Inland Revenue whose dogged word processor persistently wrote to her as Clerida Sucks. It was so irritating she finally had to emigrate to shake them off. The sometimes hurtful innuendos dissipated immediately as Cape Town is stuffed full of Fuchs.
