Questions:

• While this is obviously meant to be funny, do you think the name change will fool anyone?
• Have you ever considered changing your name? If so, why?
• Can you think of any times in the Bible when someone's name changed? What was the significance of the name change? What did it symbolize?
• Why is it rather futile to change the name of something without changing anything else?
• How is this similar to someone calling themselves a Christian without really becoming a new creation?
