Is he ashamed of his birth name ?
“Is he ashamed of his birth name ?”
Yeah, anyone who goes by a nickname they’ve had most of their life is ashamed of their birth name. You’re reaching just a bit, don’t you think?
That's silly.
His father is named Rafael, so I can easily see his family calling him Ted, the nickname for Edward.
Every time Jon Stewart gets mentioned here some FReepers, some who I am sure are Cruz supporters excoriates him for not using his real Jewish sounding surname or Obama not ever mouthing his Muslim middle name. I guess Ted C, as long as he is parroting Uncle Levin is ok to call himself Biff Cruz, Winston Cruz or any other Anglo sounding name. Hypocrites!
