"What's wrong Penelope Cockwad? Why are you so sad?"

"People judge me unfairly because of my name."

"That's tough. Why don't you change it?" ~

"Change it?"  

"Yes, Penelope Cockwad. Change your name."  

Six months later I meet Penelope Cockwad by chance. "Hello Penelope Cockwad," I say, "I've not seen you since March."

"Yes," she says with a grin. "I took your advice."

"My advice?"

"My name, silly. I changed it. You can stop calling me  Penelope Cockwad & call me by my new name, Paula Cockwad."
