Name Change of the Day: New Zealand Man Changes Name to McLovin

If you could, what would you change your name to? Max? Sara? Lou Diamond Philips?

One New Zealand man stepped up to the plate and hit a home run. He changed his name to Mc Lovin.

That's right, taking a cue out of the movie Superbad, the man formerly known as Gary Fisher changed his name to Mc Lovin — that's first name "Mc," last name "Lovin." Lovin made the change after the sudden death of a close friend, which sent him into a deep depression. He says that the name serves as a reminder to not take life so seriously.



Mc Lovin wasn't his first choice, though. — another option included "Skeletor Overlord Evil." But that's really only worth it if you're willing to go through four years of med school to become Dr. Evil.

The name change has been a positive experience. Lovin's mother thought the change was hilarious, as did a police officer who pulled him over and asked to take a picture of the license to show his fellow officers. Either way, things seem to be going pretty well for Mr. Lovin, certainly better than they went for the last guy who changed his name to McLovin.
