What context do you mean specifically about changing names? (marriage, for example?)
#ID in general is a huge, and mostly overlooked part of our #complex societies. I have a particular interest in the use of #pseudonyms in our abstracted #digital world.
The topic immediately explodes into our entire universe when we expand this naming #philosophy out to #language & #linguisics, with special importance attached to our choice of words as #knowledge creators & refiners, when we record our work, enabling the transmission of it to other humans. This is the scaffolding for the #Information_Paradigm.
