When you were in school, did you have pages and pages of your notebook filled up with different variations of your name? Maybe you prefixed it with Dr. Maybe you changed your last name to that of your crush. Maybe you were trying to find a unique look for your autograph when you became famous.

Regardless, it was on all of your stuff, and you wore out so many pens and got borderline carpal tunnel in the process. … Right, me neither. Who would do that?
