Wanted: All Hudson Valley New York Guys With The Name "Kyle"

There are many times when you might want to change your name because it is becoming associated with things that are not positive like Karen or Chad. Personally, I don't have any issue with any name, hello Brandine? I think the only two people in the world with that name are me and a character from the Simpsons.
