I doubt anybody is surpised by his new name, it's just his real name. Anyway, still has three syllables (big plus), and it's not as catchy as Kennedy but, I'll adapt to it over time. Besides when he first started the gimmick he started it as Mr. Anderson so this is actually the original. Little fun note, Ken came up with saying his last name twice after Heyman got him that gimmick and he did it without telling anyone previously (when he did annoucing for basketball in high school [possibly college don't remember) one of his friends told him it be funny if he repeats the last name twice, he did and it stuck with him).
