Coriolanus Maybe

Coriolanus Maybe

Predictably, Coriolanus Maybe was not happy with the name he had been saddled with from birth. Throughout his schooldays he was beset by deliberate mispronunciations of his name. In the end, he had given up trying to correct such jokes, gritting his teeth and forcing a grin in response.

So it was entirely understandable that he decided to have his name changed as soon as he attained his majority. He chose a new name and, when his solicitor asked whether he was sure about it, he replied with the word “definitely.”

Which explains why he’s now known as Definite Lee.
