Bombers grounded by a mutiny

Demi Moore This just in: Clipper City's new bomber series, the subject of an earlier Friday post, has a new name.

In keeping with the nautical, Heavy Seas theme, the series of brews in 22-ounce bottles is now called The Mutiny Fleet.

Name changing is part of American culture, especially among celebrities. Here are few examples that worked.

Cheryl Ladd - Cheryl Stoppelmoor

Ted Knight - Tadeus Wladyslaw Konopka

Ben Kingsley - Krishna Banji

Groucho Marx - Julius Marx

Demi Moore (at left) - Demetria Gene Guynes ...

Meg Ryan - Margaret Mary Emily Anne Hyra

Winona Ryder - Winona Horowitz

Tina Turner - Annie Mae Bullock

Alica Keys- Alicia Augello Cook

What do we think of Clipper City's name change from bomber to mutiny?

Does it matter?

Will the new name, like the celebrity name change, seem natural over time?
