I've done this, and want to start a trend.  Right now there might be information about how memes stream through the inet, though i haven't seen it, but there isn't good information on memes in society.  The reason it would be good to examine the name change meme is because
1.  it's easy, but not too easy.  It costs about 150 dollars.  We'll get an slow but interesting move if it takes off.
2.  The recording devices are already in place.  The court systems will dutifully date and save our meme's expansion as more and more people change their name we might even be able to track it to particular meme fountains that have influenced the trend.
3.  It is very extreme.  Your name has to do with your identity, so for those changing their name it will be a drastic statement.  However, kids at the age of 14 and up can do it legally, and from that age to about 25 is when drastic statements are most often made (from my experience). 

This could be good information for advertising, or some other commercial purpose, if we get it, but i'd like it just to study, and marvel at.  I think changing your name to variable can't be a bad idea after all the concept variable is guaranteed to include your previous name.  So do it!  Then tell people about it!

Name change is often a part of religious identity expression, and so in a memetically engineerd religion perhaps we ought to incorporate some rituals/rites of name change.  I'm thinking about changing my name to "Jake".  What do y'all think?
