Well, this makes me think of
Tamerlane Phillips, the son of the late rock star
John Phillips of The Mamas and the Papas group. Years ago in
John Phillips' own autobiography he mentioned a time when
Tamerlane was of junior high age when he hated his name and wanted to be called
Mike instead. But like most teenagers who go through such a phase, this didn't last, and he is evidently calling himself
Tamerlane again today. :)
