Senator DiSanto Asks Court for Name Change

I noticed last month that, after making on online threat that drew a no-trespass order from local police, Senator Lynne DiSanto (R-35/Box Elder) changed the spelling of her name on Facebook to “Lyn.”

She’s changing her name again, now to “Lyndi”:

"Lyndi" DiSanto, formerly "Lyn", formerly "Lynne"..., Facebook profile header, screen cap 2019.08.08.
“Lyndi” DiSanto, formerly “Lyn”, formerly “Lynne”…, Facebook profile header, screen cap 2019.08.08.

To really defy Google juice, her Facebook profile URL ends with “lynne.jenckshix.”

Senator DiSanto isn’t just messing with the search engines online; she’s going to court to officially change her name. The following public notice of adult name change appeared in the Rapid City Journal throughout July:

Public Notice of Adult Name Change from Lynne Audrey Hix-DiSanto to Lyndi Audrey DiSanto, Rapid City Journal, 2019.07.31
Public Notice of Adult Name Change from Lynne Audrey Hix-DiSanto to Lyndi Audrey DiSanto, Rapid City Journal, 2019.07.31.

When I feel like rebranding, I just get a new Web domain, or a new bike, or I shave my head.

As our transgender friends will tell use, we’re free to pick whatever name (and pronouns) we want. I just wish I didn’t have to go back. But now, gosh darn it, for comprehensive filing and searching purposes, I’ll have to tag every blog post about the District 35 Senator with “Lynne DiSanto” and “Lyndi DiSanto.” Otherwise, folks checking the archives won’t be able to connect Senator DiSanto’s latest online foibles with her past pattern of inappropriate behavior.

Senator DiSanto will have her own Web editing to do after the judge approves her name change: just a couple months after launch, she’ll need to rebrand her new website, “LynneSeeksTruth.com.” If only Senator DiSanto’s rebranding would include a political change away from attention-seeking and culture-war-granstanding to practical policymaking….

    Ah. The named and the unnamed.

    I kind of wonder what sort of mental illness or lack of spirituality is involved in her constant need to use her name to develop an image or ditch one she wants to ditch. She seems awfully concerned about that image and not so much concerned about her name.

    Some entertainers change their names, but do it only once. I guess I can understand. If they go by a stage name when they are acting or singing, they find it easier to be themselves if in their real life they can leave that name on the stage and go home to their real selves. It’s not as common now for entertainers to ditch their real names, because no one much cares anymore if someone is Jewish or Spanish or whatever other ethnic minority is in disfavor with the dippy racists.

    I have to say I am quite the opposite of DiSanto on this. I don’t care about my image. I admit I can be an a-hole at times, do selfish things and whatnot, but I take on the good and the bad parts of myself and roll it all up in my name. I think that means I take responsibility, but maybe I’m just ego-centric, like Donald J. Trump. I hope not.

    But, if I am honest, I like and empathize most with the unnamed.d

    Could changing her name make the “no-trespass” order invalid ?? “Aint me, it’s that other broad !”

    Looks to me like it’s now Lyn DiDi Sancho. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

    h/t to my good friend Bill, who really caught it in the classifieds as I was reading the previous day’s sports section at Hardees, back on July 11 when grudznick said in Mr. H’s first blue link above:

    Why, Mr. H, you are a sharp-eyed, yet bespectacled fellow to note this Facebooking name changing. For low-and-behold as I sat in Hardee’s on 5th and St. Joe this morning sipping my coffee, reading yesterday’s newspaper for free, I came upon an interesting item on page B10 in section 58. This is the issue where young Lindi had her picture on the cover next to the poor missing girl.

    I saw grudzfecal in Hardees. He was reading Bad Biker Babes, and one hand was below the table.

    Back when I legally changed the spelling of my middle name and it cost five bucks and a trip to the recorder’s office or some such nonsense at the courthouse. I guess it was legal.

    DiSanto is the only politician that I’ve ever seen or heard of that is an obvious socio-political contortionist. The legal maneuvering is just as disingenuous as her past political grandstanding and pseudo-concern for the welfare of someone that didn’t even live in her district. Artificial people are just exhausting.

    Stretch marks and lipo-scars will soon show the wear and tear of cosmetic name surgery. Then her name won’t be pretty, either.

  9. grudznick 2019-08-08 19:25

    It seems a bit of a stripper name. I like it. grudznick approved.

    grudz – That’s not nice. #ShameNun

    It becomes a little clearer why the SoDak Taliban leadership didn’t want her to make a case against David Johnson a year ago for saying something uncomplimentary to her. They want her reliable nutcase vote, but they don’t want her to embarrass them any more than she already does. Testimony in even a quasi-legal proceeding by DiSanto would be entertaining to anyone except her supporters.

    The name changes and the style of her photos makes me wonder about what’s going on in her head.
