Madonna, Prince, Bjork and now Lindsay.
Yes, Lindsay Lohan reckons she’s famous enough to be recognised by her first name only, so she is getting rid of the “Lohan’. Lindsay’s mother Dina confirmed the news to gossip site Popeater, telling them, “Lindsay is dropping the Lohan and just going by Lindsay. Plus, me and [younger daughter] Ali will be officially changing our last names back to my maiden name, Sullivan."
A friend of the Lohan/Sullivan clan blabbed the reason for the name change, and we have to admit we can understand why the girls are changing their names, says the source “It's a way for them all to start over. No one in the family wants anything to do with Lindsay's father [Michael Lohan] anymore and that includes sharing a last name." Lindsay and her mother have had a very difficult (to put it mildly) relationship with Michael, so we’re not that surprised to hear they are rejecting his last name. We can also see why Li-Lo - oops, we mean Li - isn’t taking on Sullivan as her last name; Lindsay Sullivan really doesn’t scan as well as Lindsay Lohan. The unnamed source continues, “So many of the greatest people in showbiz are known by just their first name. Look at Oprah and Beyonce. Now you can add Lindsay to that list."
Do you think just 'Lindsay' will catch on? We can’t see anyone remembering to omit the Lohan for some time; remember what happens every time when P Diddy changes his name? (Come to think of it, is he actually called P Diddy or just Diddy at the moment? See, even we can’t keep up.)
