I can use a legal middle name if I desire, muad. YOu don't like what it represents, do you? Didn't think so. Makes you uncomfortable to see it on the printed page because of Saddam Hussein. Do you believe that if John McCain's name was John Adolph Hatler (notice the reference similarity to Barack Hussein Obama?), you think the media would not refer the entire name and use it against the Republican candidate?? You can't be that simple. No one is that simple-minded. They wouldn't stop using the similarity in their references. They'd have a field day with that! It would be printed each and every chance. See, in my world you don't get to pick and choose what you want to be called. It is what it is. If you don't like your name for whatever reason...CHANGE IT. Guys like me don't budge...you need someone a lot weaker to conquor.
