I’m not sure what you’re disagreeing with in my entry.

I disagree with your article. A name is something significant. History–classical, biblical, political–shows us that a change in name represents a vital shift in one’s life. Oftentimes a name-change represents the conferral of responsibility upon one whose role is of new importance, particularly of societal influence. Although in Marilyn Monroe’s case this name-change was self-appointed, she certainly did have an impact on society, both in our nation and across Europe. I think it would be a mistake to over-look the significance of her name change because it was “Marilyn the person” who changed, who impacted history when she took on the new name “Marilyn.”

That one wasn’t my fault - it’s the usual browser-blogger corruption thing that seems to afflict all browsers and all bloggers (but especially Christine on diaryland).

Your link to Liz is actually a mangled Jintian link. Think you lost a widget in the code when you moved it.
