The name of the game
P. Diddy drops the 'P'
NEW YORK - The artist formerly known as Sean Combs, Puff Daddy and Puffy has added P. Diddy to the formerly known-as list. The rapper, fashion designer and producer told the press that he simply wants to be known as Diddy.
"One word. Five letters," he said. "I needed to simplify things."
Diddy said he made the decision because people were confused by all his name changes and didn't know what to call him.
"I even started to get confused myself and when I'd called someone on the telephone it took me a long time to explain who I was," he said. "Too long." He said he was also concerned about the way P. Diddy sounded at concerts. "Let's just say the name P. Diddy didn't quite flow. I realized immediately I had a problem."
Cotolo becomes 'Do Wah Diddy,' etc ...
GRANTVILLE, Penn. -- Frank Cotolo, only known until now (and hardly known at that) as Frank Cotolo, told the media that he simply wants to be known as "Do Wah Diddy Diddy Dum Diddy Do."
Cotolo said he made the decision because he said people were bored by his name and didn't know what to call him that was hip and hopped up.
"I even started to fall asleep myself and when I'd called someone on the telephone it took me a long time to explain who I was," he said. "No style." He said he was also concerned about the way Frank Cotolo sounded on his programs over the net and on iPods. "Let's just say the name Frank Cotolo didn't quite flow. I realized finally that I had a problem."

cool!
Thats a catchy sounding new name!!
Mine used to be 'Raving Mad Abi' but then I realised it was too long and not that memorable, so I cut it down to just 'Abi' and it's worked wonders!!
hang on... my name IS Abi.........
oh well.. at least it's popular, there have been a couple of people on the tv called 'Abi' recently.. thank *fill in name of deity here* I'm nothing like any of those.
I'm not excactly blonde nor am I the epitomy of what blonde is... ie: dumb.
I did try one serious name change some years ago, can't remember what it was I was going to change my name to, suppose it doesn't matter now :-p
