In which pajh suffers an existential crisis
Wed, Nov. 11th, 2009 20:35Buggeration. It turns out that there already is a Paul Hamilton, he works for the RSC and is thus more successful and handsome than I, and naturally he's Equity-registered. So I'm not allowed to use my name for professional, performance-related purposes.
Insisting on the A J
isn't enough, apparently. The rules have changed since Russell T. Davies or Richard E. Grant. This is Annoying. I don't even like the bloody name—my mother chose it—but the one thing I've always been most successful at was being Paul A J Hamilton, and now I'm not allowed to do that any more.
I need a new name. It's not going to be an issue until someone starts paying me for work, but I suspect it's better to start sooner rather than later.
From now on I want you all to refer to me as I can pretty much guarantee that Loretta
.Pajhy McCloakGuy
isn't taken.
I'm thinking about dusting off an old roleplaying character, but he's not likely to have sufficient Google presence. George Ominokouhai? Ian Spector Fuckup?
