Rick Springfield of Jessie’s Girl and General Hospital fame has a son named Liam Springthorpe. Is it the slightest bit odd that Rick’s son Liam has a last name very close to his father’s, but not quite? (Hmm, nevermind. I must thank the internet, yet again. Seconds before pushing the publish button, I wiki’d Rick. And his real name is Richard Lewis Springthorpe. Why change it? Springthorpe’s got a respectable ring to it. . .)

Perhaps the rationale for changing his own name was for celebrity purposes and I’m sure urged by a publicist or a manager ….that it was an easier last name to remember…but this is of course, a logical assumption…it only makes sense, doesn’t it??…..k
I agree. Some promoter talked him into it. But his original name was fine. Now, Maurice Joseph Micklewhite, I understand changing that.
Yeah, you’re right again….I wouldn’t want to be plagued with a name like Maurice, would you?….k
Some people do call me Maurice.
You’re certainly on your toes today, N1….
