What's in a name?

It occurred to me that someday, I'm going to return to the world outside my door. I shall once again socialize in clubs, date, and perhaps even marry.

So, I'll need a name. One can't very well go round with the moniker "Transcontinental". It makes for awkward conversation.

I had a name once; but that personae is dead.

So, when the time comes, I shall be "Laura Grace Brown." And since a Google search has shown that it is quite a common name, I will be referred to as THE Laura Grace Brown. (And if I do marry, the man's last name will have to begin with a "T", and I will hyphenate, so that my initials are LGBT.

(Gentlemen callers: If your surname does not begin with a "T", I'd suggest starting the paperwork now to petition the courts to change it.)

Furthermore, if I decide to make my triumphant return to the stage, my performance name will be Belinda Helen Baack. (One simply doesn't use their own name for the public. It invites too many overly-devoted fans.)

You have been advised.
