Read the following passage from the THOUGHTS column on Forbes where usually each issue publishes a few mini stories derived from people’s great observation of daily life and/or some aphorisms full of wisdom. But, this one strikes me with more sense of humor than that of wisdom. Wonder what was the reason behind for this woman wanting to change her name, namesake or name-sick?

A Ms. named Cooperman asked a New York State Supreme Court justice for permission to change her name to Cooperperson. He threw the case out, saying that the next thing might be somebody named Manning wanting to change her name to Peopling and perhaps a gal named Carmen might want to be called Carperson. “The possibilities are virtually endless and increasingly insane. This would truly be in the realm of nonsense", said Justice Scileppi. Right on, Judge.
