Wait. . .Pete changed his name to something that sounds like a gay porn actor's alias?
Hrm. . .hrm. . .to put my tin foil hat for a second. You know how certain people in the Bible went through a name change via God like Abram/Sarai to Abraham/Sarah and Saul to Paul. Jacob to Israel.
Looking at your list you have people who are said to belong to questionable organizations like Masons and even Skull and Bones and maybe even Illunimati. So given those groups known habit of twisting Scriptures maybe a name change from a not exactly Godly inspiration/source might be possible.
Trump is the only one in your list with no links to questionable groups, organizations, and even religion.
