Back around the release of The Phantom Menace, California’s Benjamin Cale Feit changed his name to Obiwan Kenobi… And almost a decade later, he’s still going by it.
Remember the guy who changed his name to Obiwan?

Not Obi-wan? State doesn’t recognize hyphens?

Or he wasn’t into details. At least it wasn’t ‘Anikin.’

“I don’t regret it at all,” Kenobi said. “I was going to be single anyway.”
Most realistic self-assessment ever!

yup, i know me maybe TOO well~
Above all else to thine-own self be true.
Xadrian- the name actually IS spelled properly [Obi-Wan Kenobi] on my drivers license, passport, paychecks and all my accounts as this was a necessary requirement of the contest. I had to get the DMV ‘managers approval’ to allow the hyphen in my 1st name which i recall citing as foreign in origin and necessarily read for its proper pronounciation & understanding.
