The story reads as totally normal. Not many men change their name that much but, "I want the same last name as my grandma who I love very much and not my second dad who I don't talk to" feels right and good and maybe even sweet. The man's a monster. This is fine.
It's weird I said "men" here. In the US women usually change their names once and men never. But adoption and grandma and going by initials are all changes I've seen and understand.
I know that teenagers tend to change their usernames regularly
James Donald Bowman will be the name of my choice to refer to him until he distances himself from the second abusive asshole called Donald in his life.
For me regardless of how often he changes his name, he'll always be named: The Pope Slayer
In slang form he's The Pope Killer and The Pope Ripper
Elon for me is 6 stars General Musk because not even 4 stars generals have been EVER given the power that dude was allowed to have, he went to every single US government agency, got their data and told them to surrender to his wishes to include NSA and CIA. so there is only a one 5 star general and that's during times of war and musk had even more power than all of them combined so he's 6 stars general Musk daddy of the CIA/NSA/Intelligence Community/and Pentagon. 🤭
6 Stars General Musk. Only man alive to tell the NSA and CIA to do his wishes and kiss his ass. They probably were like security clearance? And Elon was like f'k that FIRE EVERYONE by midnight and sent mass emails asking secret agents what have they done that week 🤣

Would be a funny surprise if any of them was a female name.
His name isn't Jennifer Dianne Vance?
Last I heard it was Jorkin Depeanus. That’s what I’ve been referring to them as.
