Get a Different Name Day is for those people who do not like the names given to them. At birth, we are given a first name, a middle name and a last name. We did not choose it, but it was our parents who bestowed it upon us. If you like your name, good for you. If not, today you can change your name. If you change your name, do inform your friends and family. You can enjoy this day, by getting your new name printed on the wrist band.
