Going to bed is starting to sound pretty logical.

awww... doesn't work anymore.

wow thats crazy sauce. Is there a way to turn that off?

Change your name in Gmail? Why is it such a big deal, anyway? My email is my full name...I'll let you take a wild guess what that is.

Change the name associated with your email account to your email address.
