Researchstates that, “Nearly 20% of workers have changed their name on a resume because of discrimination concerns.” So, it was kind of justifiable when the poster’s wife opted to change her name when applying for jobs after graduation as she was tired of her traditional name.
Also, the fact the OP’s wife was going through an identity crisis is, in itself, quite sad because it has beenobservedthat, “An identity crisis is a phase many people go through when they question or reassess who they are. A search for identity is common during the teenage years but people may also reassess their lives after a major life event.”
However, our poster mocked the name that she chose, saying that it sounded like a stripper’s name when his wife was actually working as a nurse. And the whole story turned in a funny direction as even the netizens joined the poster in his humor and sarcasm. Some of them revealed the hilarious pseudonyms that they used, like Batman, Bugadochoo, or Bugzy.
Some folks also teased the poster saying that even he should introduce his newalter ego, call himself ‘Moon Shyne’, and reinvent himself. On the other hand, netizens also mocked the wife for coming up with such a strange name and confidently using it. They even joined the game of sarcasm, asking the poster whether anything she ever said was even true.
