If it was he who was at the town hall, he could indicate another first name…. he would not have been the first to do so!! I know quite a few who have given a normal first name this way. I also know a lot of people who call themselves by another first name. PErso, my name was made fun of throughout my schooling, a difficult period but hey…. it allows you to have a different mind when you become an adult and to have another look.
