That seems a bit nitpicky to me. He still had "Paul McCartney" as his name, he just decided to go by his middle name instead of his first. In contrast, Ringo Starr's birth name was completely different from the name he is famous for. Thanks for the suggestion, but I think I'll leave it as is.
Love that song! :)
My favorite Beatles song though is probably "Let It Be"!
