Lol! Funny thing, I couldn't remember Bishop Sheen's first name. Second, when I tried to look it up, I got one article from Wikipedia (excerpt below); the rest were about Charlie Sheen changing his name back to Carlos Estevez!

Sheen was born in El Paso, Illinois, the oldest of four sons of Newton[8] and Delia Sheen.[9] Though he was known as Fulton, his mother's maiden name, he was baptized as Peter John Sheen.
Bishop Fulton John Sheen

Even stranger, Emilio Estevez Sr. took his ersatz surname from Fulton, and became Martin Sheen... Makes me dizzy!
