Mom discovers teenage<\/a> son shares name with \u201cprolific\u201d adult film star<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What\u2019s in a name? Well, one concerned mom thinks a lot is riding on her child\u2019s unfortunate name, and now she\u2019s seeking advice.<\/p>\n

By some estimates, 77% of employers will Google an applicant before hiring them, so it\u2019s understandable that Mom is concerned her 17-year-old son coincidentally shares a name with a prominent adult film performer.<\/p>\n

But is it really that big of a deal?<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cWe first realized this about two years ago,\u201d she writes<\/a>, \u201cand the problem has only gotten worse, as the star has become more \u2026 prolific.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no shortened form or nickname, and our son has no middle name, so we don\u2019t have options but to legally change it.\u201d<\/p>\n

A legal name change does seem a tad extreme, and it seems her son agrees.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe problem is our son does not want to do this,\u201d she explains. \u201cHe doesn\u2019t care about the overlap, it\u2019s the only name he and everyone else has ever known him by, and a change will likely highlight the underlying reason.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cShould we play the parent card and force a legal name change?\u201d she asks.<\/p>\n

The advice columnist comes back with a resounding: \u201cAbsolutely not.\u201d<\/p>\n

They elaborate a bit, but is that even necessary? Case closed.<\/p>\n
