Excellent! I'm guessing you're 'Morpheus Blak'?
Close - he's my best friend in Vegas. And a fellow Canadian.
With my wife's last name translating to "Stone", it made sense to just adopt it too. Typically, in Canada, wives don't take their husbands' name, which seems to baffle some people down here in the US. I figured we might as well have the same last name, at least in our musical activities, and my name does not exactly rock (although a few of the guys from Blue Oyster Cult may disagree...) So Stone it was.
As for the first name, well, it's no big deal to be called Christian back in the very secular French Canada (where Christian is only a proper noun anyway, and not the name given to the followers of Jesus), but down here, I just did not feel comfortable. And dropping the last few letters worked but I was still stuck with something too close to Christ for my comfort, So I dropped the "Christ" instead and kept Ian.
Thank you guys!
