Suitably fortean, I thought
An American veteran of the Vietnam war who lost his legal bid to change his name to God has decided to call himself I Am Who I Am instead.
The former Charles Haffey said he searched the Bible for a backup name after a judge rejected his first choice in April.
He drew on a passage where Moses asks God who he is and is told: "I am who I am or I will be who I will be".
"That's kind of wordy," the former Mr Haffey said. "So I'm just going for I Am Who I Am as my full legal name. My first name, of course, would be I Am."
The 55-year-old said he hoped the name change would free him from feelings of anxiety and rage that have plagued him since he served in Vietnam.
"I was fatally wounded in the mind and the spirit," he said. "I didn't suffer any bodily injury. It's just what I saw, what I did. I killed myself."
