Something I never thought I'd hear from Elizabeth Large

Sun Food Empress Elizabeth Large, who sits near me at work, just asked,

"Sam, do you know what Snoop Dogg calls himself these days?"

Snoop-a-loop

I'm assuming she's mistaking him with Sean Combs, who went from being "Puffy Combs",to "Puff Daddy"" after gun possession charges "P Diddy" to "Diddy" with his clothing line "Sean John".*

Sean is Gaelic, the traditional language of the Irish, for John.
John Lennon of Irish ancestry probably named his second son Sean for that reason.
Julian was named after John's mother Julia.

*back checked on myself at Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Combs

I hope she's not planning on starting another East Coast/West Coast Rap/Food critic war.

Haven't we learned anything from 2 Pac and RW Apple?

@GDA. Nope. I just remember when he was Snoop Doggy Dogg and changed it, and knew Midnight Sun Sam would tell me if I should still identify him as Snoop Dogg in the photo with Martha Stewart on Dining@Large.
