I'm thinking about changing my name. Not drastically, but just moving a few dots. Here's my name as it appears at the moment:
Daniel C. Wright.
I have been thinking for the last few days whether or not to change it to:
D. Charles Wright.
A great many inspirational, famous, people have had initials in their names. One of my heroes is Booker T. Washington, the middle initial standing for Taliaferro. William Edward Berghart Du Bois had so many names he wrote under W.E.B. Du Bois. Sadly I do not have as many names as Du Bois to make that work. Hunter S. Thompson went for the central initial, whereas Malcolm X went for something completely different for well-publicised reasons concerning religion and slavery (if you do not know what I mean, read his autobiography).
The only reason I have thought about my name is purely to make it look better on the page. All I'm trying to do is maximize the aesthetic quality of the letter on the page. Any suggestions / comments / criticisms are more than welcome.
Yours, wherever you may be,
