They don't bother me, either.
I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I am a big grudge holder, but they actually don't bother me either.

I say leave them; they happened and are part of our story.

They don't bother me, but part of me wants you to just put the name in quotes: "Gus." I don't know what that makes me feel better (or giggle), but it does.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I don't think changing the name would really clear anything up. I mean, we've tried to stay *out* of the spotlight more than shine a light on anything.
Plus it's icky precedent to me to change anyone's pseud without their express wishes. We're a public site.
