Hah. You're right; I hadn't known that.

"In 2022, Dunne changed his name. Before this, his name was Matthew Stanton Dunne III. A court order dated Sept. 22, 2022, changed it to Mateo Oramas Reyes Dunne.

In an April article published in “On The Move,” Dunne was pressed about the decision to change his name. In response, Dunne claimed that he made the change to honor his wife’s Cuban family, who considered him one of their own after his father’s death when he was 18.

“During the pandemic, I decided to honor the people I call Mami and Papi by changing my name to Mateo Oramas Reyes Dunne. They call me Mateo. Oramas is Mami’s maiden name, and Reyes is Papi’s last name. They are my family, and I love them with all my heart,” said Dunne."

.... um, OK. But also hard to believe that he didn't consider which name would be more useful in Democratic politics. [/quote]
