Let me explain. I was born Charles Michael Levine and went by the name ... Levine until I was
twenty-six years old. The reason I changed my name was simple. My mother, never a fan of my
father's family, had an unfortunate habit of using Levine as a stinging insult. When displeased
with me, she would often say/shriek, "You know what you are? You're a Levine! A no good, rotten
Levine!" So, for as far back as I can remember, every time I heard my last name I would
experience acute feelings of low self-esteem. Whenever roll was called in school I would sit in
quiet dread as the teacher ticked off the L's: "Labianca, Lepkowitz... Levine -- Arghhh!" My first
wife was the one who suggested I change my name to remedy the situation. In fact, it was she
who came up with the name ..., complete with the fancy spelling. I thought it sounded great. ....
Charles Michael ... Finally a name that did not make me squirm. It didn't occur to me that in
England my new name translated into ... Truck. Nor did I realize that the famous actor, Peter ...,
was mostly famous for playing smarmy, closeted gay guys (not that there's anything wrong with
it). But most interestingly, I had completely forgotten that when I was around eight years old my
father's business began to fail, forcing my mother to find work in a clothing store called... Lorie's.
Pretty creepy, huh? Did I abandon my father's name only to unconsciously name myself after a
place associated with my mother's abandonment of me? Or, even creepier, did my ex-wife
somehow know all this and propose the name ... just to screw with me. Hmmm... I was a no good,
rotten husband so I certainly had it coming.
