Stop with the aliases already!
I wish to apologize to the guys at Paizo. I made a typo earlier today that made me sound like a big jerk.
Amazon is able to provide that discount because they make it up elsewhere. Because Paizo is jacking up prices elsewhere, they have to charge a higher price than Amazon to achieve the same profit margin.
Be a man, stand up for what you say!

It comes with a year's supply of PBR you know
*looks around* How did I end up here *walks out again*
My mother taught a poor li'l gal in Elementary school whose name was, and I swear by all my gaming supplies this is true, P%&& Yu. And yes, it was pronounced just like you hope it wouldn't be. AND, her parents would not let the teachers call her by anything other than her name ... they moved out of the district the following year, but I always feel sorry for that girl.
EDIT: Okay, not trying to get around a swear filter, but that really was the kid's name. Spelled different, with a PH and no C, but you get the point.
I used to work at a major hospital. We had a cardiologist called Dr Death, a gynecologist called Dr Dick and there was a Dr evil (can't remember what he did - although it was spelt differently but he pronounced it "evil")

I was in Army basic with a Private Sargent. That poor guy got harassed more than anyone else.
In college I worked at a fast food joint with a manager whose name was Christina Slaughter.
Did she bring the laufhter to the job?
~poof~

Did she bring the laufhter to the job?
Yeah, but she sloughed off too much (You have got to love English spelling mechanics).

Whoa dude, why all the negative waves? Ya gotta be positive man! How about some shrooms?

Yeah, gotta love a tongue that started off Celtic, got Romanized, then Germanified, then Danishified, then re-Romanized, then threw up its hands and said 'OK! Let's just take any word people throw at us and incorporate it, it's simpler that way' ...

Celts! I remember those guys. They were good people. Not like today's kids - walking all over my lawn, leaving their trash everywhere, and playing their godawful "music".
But the Celts, they new how to party, and they had respect for their elders. Good times, Harry! Good times!

But...but...I brought my new pitchfork and everything. And an effigy of David. And now we're not even going to burn it?!?!?! WTF?
Scary to think of what you're going to do with that effigy now. The weekend is coming up...
'Cept when a lwayer burns an effigy there's a distinct smell of brimstone...
Got a million of 'em. Here twice a week. Try the veal.
I have had doctors named Dr. Trust and Dr. Ram. My dad has worked with, on occasion, people named Bruce Bruce, Chuck Steak, and Dick Sprinkle.
I knew a girl named Ashley who married a guy whose last name was ... Ashley. So now she's Ashley Ashley.
I really think I would have hyphenated with my maiden name, at least. I mean, I assume Bruce Bruce was victimized by his parents, but she chose the name.

Ouch. I know Bruce Bruce, and the story behind the name is that he's a descendent of Robert the Bruce, and his parents wanted to name him after his ancestor, hence: Bruce Robert Bruce.
When I was growing up, I had a female friend (we never dated), but her dad liked to rattle the cage of all her guy friends. I swear he was an early 80's prototype of Robert DenNiro in 'Meet the Parents'.
Any way, her name was Heather Rising.
And if you were a guy, he'd get right in your face and make eye contact. Stick his hand out to shake yours and announce. "Hi.. My name is Dick! Dick Rising."
And he'd just cock his head and stare hard to see if you were gonna laugh. I felt just like the roman centurions in Life of Brian.
EDIT: That's funny. The filter will let you write the short version of Richard, but you can't use the alternative for tilt.
Anyway.. true story.

And he chose to go by Bruce Bruce rather than Rob Bruce or something?

Duh! :)

Of course we are. We're gamers!

All while doing it with a sock on his hand.
I honestly hope this doesn't rattle any cages, but am I the only one that finds the whole 'woman takes the man's name in marriage" thing a little weird and antiquated?
No.

It would be interesting to find out where and why in history this began. Any help?

I had Gym with a boy with the same name.
I never quite got the post marriage renaming tradition. I still think it should be a choice, because I know that if my name was Irving *Wineblatt, last name coolness would definitely be a factor in scoping out future spouses.
In a bar: "What's your name now? Karen Flugglebanger? Sorry, I'm looking for someone more like a... Sheila Ninjanightdagger. Do you know anyone like that?"
*Apologies to any trueborn Wineblatts out there.
We may have a winner in the 'Dr Who?' category here.
OMG! And this bit at the end...
"He joins that select company of other unfortunately named doctors such as Dr. Reinhardt Adolfo F#%k and Professor Chew S@#t Fun."
