Incognito
September 5, 2014
To name a few: Marni Weiss to Fried Weiss; Sam Benson to Ben Samson; Marco Cartolano to Marco Pololano; Ines Lei to Inestle Nesquick; Shalini Chandar to Shal Sohard; Elizabeth Finny to Lizzy McGuire; Sidney Thomas to Sidknee Toemas; Mica Mlikota to Got Milkota; Jorge Castro to Hip Hip Jorge; Ryan Gomez to Ryan Car Dash Ian; David Gonzalez to Schrodinger DaveEquation; Jodi Bauson to G.I. Jodi.
It is evident that these seniors have spent time thinking of names that will provoke laughter and that will hide them from colleges. Perhaps Alyson Milberg went into the name-change-game with the best approach being to inhabit an absolutely different identity. Our very own Alyson Milberg is now known on Facebook as Mike Smith. Shhhh. Mike explained, “No one will find me now!” And as technology continues to make our private lives ever so public, it is assured that seniors will continue to “out-smart” admissions with the hope of being accepted into their dream school.
