Scott MacDonald is a wannabe entrepreneur from British Columbia, who hit upon the idea of changing his name and auctioning the rights to choose his new name. Bids close tomorrow and as soon as his passport is updated to reflect his new nomenclature, Scott will be heading to Thailand to donate 10% of his earnings to the Im Jai House orphanage.At various times during the auction winning names have included Pineapple Pineapple Pineapple, Oprah Winfrey and current frontrunner Free-A-Store-Us-Rex, at a price of $37,001.
Scott will be in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania on Groundhog Day to sign the paperwork, and after he gets his new passport with whatever his new name is.
