Time For a Name Change?

So I'm thinking of being called by my full name, Jeffrey-Lorenz, over my regular name of just "Jeff" or "Jeffrey." Thought about it and I've grown to like it.


In the tradition of things I love to do when I blog, I think I'll write a list of reasons Why JEFFREY-LORENZ trumps over JEFF or JEFFREY.
Unique - Not that many JEFFREY-LORENZ's out there.

007 Vibe to it - When you say it right, it sounds tight.

Mature - While "Jeff" seems cool when I was in high school or college, "Jeffrey-Lorenz" sounds like he's been there and done that. The name sounds worldly. The name is a departure from the norm and an arrival into the tall, dark, and mysterious.

Change - While there's nothing wrong with the name that everyone's grown and love, I feel that a new part of my life needs a new name, a new me.

Join the 3-Name Celebs - Now that I'm Jeffrey-Lorenz Rodriguez I joing the other cool celebrities with 3 names, such as:
Jennifer Love Hewitt - Gorgeous Actress
Neil Patrick Harris - BARNEY STINSON (WHAT UP?) and from Harold and Kumar
Chad Michael Murray - One Tree Hill
Johnathon Taylor Thomas - One of Tim Taylor's sons on Home Improvement
Mark Paul Gosselaar - Zack Morris from Saved by the Bell
Ashley Parker Angel - Boy band member of O-town
Anna Nicole Smith - Actress?
Nat King Cole - Iconic singer
Melissa Joan Hart - The girl from Clarissa Explains It All and Sabrina the Teenage Witch
James Earl Jones - Darth Vader!
Georges St. Pierre - GSP, Canadian's Top Athlete of the Year (2009), UFC Champ/Superstar

All these people are cool and I think, just like NPH, being called Jeffrey-Lorenz Rodriguez will be LEGEN-- wait for it -- DARY!

Disclaimer - People who already know me as Jeff or Jeffrey won't have to worry about me being a prick and calling me Jeffrey-Lorenz. That would just be dumb and make me look like a douche bag. But all I'm saying is try saying it to me. If you, like it cool. If not, then no worries.

  1. Love the idea! Though, you're always Jeff to me, I think i'm interested in trying out the Jeffrey-Lorenz thing (I also, once though about mine.. Alyssa-Marie, but..it's so common w/ the whole Marie thing...so i scratched the idea). I'll be trying out the Jeffrey Lorenz for a while in my head, as so --when you arrive..it's HEY JEFFREY LORENZ!! WHATT UP! :D
    *also, i like the list of all the 3 namers! def a good list to refer to.
    NPH is my fav 3 namer.
    Also 3 other names to add at the top of my head, sarah jessica parker, Billy Ray Cyrus (LOL), and Tiffany Amber Theissan!

  2. Jeffrey Lorenz..It's got a nice ring to it! It sounds very pro not to mention sick lol! Like Alyssa said, you'll always be Jeff to me, but changing your name up especially when your second name is Lorenz, that would be pretty sick.

    To add onto this three name celeb list, can't
    forget Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Catherine Zeta Jones :)
