Frederick Douglass was born with the last name Bailey. After Frederick Douglass escaped slavery he married a free African American woman. He changed his last name to Johnson so that he would be allowed to be married (as a slave he would've needed his owner's permission). He chose Johnson because the Johnson's helped him and his wife. Eventually, he decided to change his name again to Douglass after reading "The Lady of the Lake". He added the extra "s" to make it slightly different.

  dante alighieri wrote the divine comedy, a description of a spititual journey. when he wrote it , he was in exile. in florence, dante's native city, there was a social strife, they had political turmoil, and some of the   florentine names included in the narrative may have been a way that dante used to criticize his fellow citizens.

i don't think it's a good idea to threaten anyone at all.
