It’s not uncommon for those in show business to change their names to something shorter, more memorable, and possibly less “Jewy.” Mr. Aykroyd, not a Jew as far as I know, probably has the most challenging 7 letter name to spell. I mean, now that I’m writing this post and focusing on it, I might actually now finally know how to spell the man’s name.
However, if you surveyed random people on the street and asked them to spell Aykroyd in less than 15 seconds, 95% of people would probably fail this test miserably. With a name like Aykroyd, and the amount of success this guy has had in his career, I have nothing but positive things to say about him.
Saturday Night Live, Trading Places, Ghostbusters — the list is seemingly endless.
Good work Dan, and good work me on post #800 all-time.
