Fair enough, "Cletus"? Really?
Actually my birth name is not Brian, my adoptive parents asked me at the age of 5 nearly 6, if I wanted to change my original name. I but I did change it because it sounded to hickish and dorky at the time. No it was not "Cletus".
But I do wish they had thought about my adoptive initials Brian and James, I discovered in middle school it meant "blow job". I look back at that now and go, "THANKS MOM THANKS DAD, you let me pick that?"
