I’m a fan of Xzibit’s show on MTV called “Pimp My Ride.” The angry looking Xzibit takes vehicles from the edge of extinction and works with a body shop to rebuild them from the ground up. The show focuses on the youthful vehicle owners as deserving of the bleeding edge electronics and prizes built into now one-of-a-kind cars.
Anyway, I knew Xzibit wasn’t born named Xzibit. What I didn’t know is his real name is Alvin. He didn’t like Alvin, so he changed it to Xzibit. So what’s in a name?
Recently, 9 year old Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii (who is from New Zealand, not Hawaii) was taken as a ward of the court so the judge could re-name her. Her friends had taken to calling her “K,” which is odd since there isn’t even a K in her name. Apparently, this is not new in New Zealand where they have people named Fish and Chips, Yeah Detroit, Keenan Got Lucy, and Sex Fruit. The AP news story has it all. MOM AND DAD: THANK YOU FOR MY NAME.
