The new Lorenzo Mercanti

This isn't Paul.

Well not since I came across my new locker with the surprising name of Lorenzo Mercanti. And fell blissfully in love. Like the entertainer formerly known as Prince ( and now some oblique pansexual symbol ), I've whimsically decided to adopt a new name - and Lorenzo it shall be.

Googled the name ( doesn't everyone do the same? ) and sadly found nada! Was hoping Lorenzo would be a gorgeous Italian God with a fabulous apartment in Florence full of Bruno Magli leather boots, we'd start a torrid correspondence online and he'd end up falling madly in love with me.

Lorenzo
Sweet Lorenzo...

Chances are he's a happily married octogenarian with grandchildren on his knee.

God only knows who the original bearer of the name is but I figure he can bear to share especially since he left some dark blue scrubs ( used? splattered with bodily fluids? ) behind. And after all, Paul is such a boring outdated name, dontcha think? So terribly biblical. Well, you have to agree Saul was way more happening before with all the violent heroics but ever since the lightning struck, he seems to have turned all saintly after.

Much easier to be called Lorenzo. Now a name like Lorenzo conjures up all sorts of exotic images of gondolas, masquerades and grand canals. You can fight a dashing duel over the fair name of Lorenzo Mercanti! Hell, you can sell delicious flagons of perfumes with that name!

Say hello to Lorenzo.

Nobody uses Lorenzo because it's the name of a medical oil.

Same thought as Charming Calvin: first word that comes to mind when I see "Lorenzo" is "oil".
