Thread Name: Folk Singer Name Change
Subject: RE: Folk Singer Name Change
… born Douglas Oates
I'm not surprised that anyone saddled with the name Douglas would want to change it. I'm often called Dougie, which I put up with, though I prefer Doug. In fact, I've grown to quite like it but I hate the name Douglas.
When it comes to changing names, I can't even think of a Mudcat handle that suits me more than Doug Chadwick. If I get to be a famous folk singer, you can look for me under that name. I'm not likely to become an actor but if I do and Equity won't take me with my own name then I just won't join.
