A man secured an appointment to go before a magistrate to have his name legally changed. When he appeared, the magistrate asked, "What is your present name?"

"Athelstan Lipschitz," the man replied.

"And why do you want to change it?" asked the magistrate.

"Well, ever since I was young, people have made fun of my name. As you can imagine, school was hell for me. I even get embarrassed when I have to say it, and even worse, spell it out for people."

"I see your point," said the magistrate, "and what do you want to change your name to?"

"Aloysius Lipschitz, your honour."
