Reminds me of a minor character in Charles M. Schulz's Peanuts strip named "5", who was given a numerical name by his father cause he was "upset over the preponderance of numbers in people's lives"...and when questioned, 5 clarified that this was not his father's way of protesting, it was his way of "giving in."
