Original Note:
JD Vance has only changed his name twice. His mother changed it to James David Hamel after adoption by his stepfather. The 2nd change, to his mother's maiden name, he requested as he was about to graduate from Yale, a year before he got married, not after marriage. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/jd-vance-born-james-donald-bowman/ https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/jd-vance-name-b2622281.html https://apnews.com/article/election-2024-republicans-vice-president-vance-name-359c3d1361c94f5d2d1e9798b7854477
