WHY PEOPLE CHANGE THEIR NAMES: RE SHEEN & HIS BOSS

"..., Sheen feels that he was personally attacked - that his integrity was called into question, so he called out the integrity of his so-called attacker by attacking Lorre's decision to change his name. It was a stupid move on Sheen's part because there is no evidence that a change of name represents a lack of integrity. And if it does, then Sheen should be speaking with his father, Martin Sheen, who changed his name from Esetvez [or Estevez ?] . Name changes, especially in the past, were not about a lack of integrity, they were about overcoming ethnic bias. If anything, the need to change one's name represents a flaw in the culture, not the one making the name change."
