 Some persons, such as the artists Vincent and Christo, the sculptor Chryssa, and the singer-songwriter Basia, have had polynymous names that were unwieldy, or unfamiliar and difficult to remember or to pronounce in the community in which they were currently active, but have not wanted to entirely change their names to something more familiar to the broad public at the cost of abandoning their sense of self-identification, and so have used only a single part of their full names.The case of the Icelandic musician Björk is similar, but her use of a single name also has roots in her native culture.Like most Icelanders, she has no family name; the second part of her full name is a patronymic.
