Yah, I believe she changed her name because she was ashamed of her Jewish
heritage. Since she was born in Mother Russia, so i'm guess'in that Alisha or
some varient was her birth name and maybe not precisely the English, Alice.
Where "Ayn" comes from I don't know. Her views and values ain't mine since
they all appear to be conjured out of whole cloth rather then empirical.
Suprising for such a rationalist.
