Not quite. I see your point: that you can call yourself anything you want
to, state be damned. Sure, you can have as many "nicknames" or "aliases" as
you like, but you only have one "name" and it can only be legally changed by
state sanction.

that somewhere in the universe there has to be something better than man.
Has to be." -- George Taylor _Planet of the Apes_ (1968)
