Name[edit]
His autobiography is on Amazon. His name is in the description. Gershon Eliezer Weinrib, after his grandfather. He was NOT Born "Gary Lee Weinrib." That was an Anglicization. I am unreverting the reversion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.221.153.125 (talk) 07:15, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
- Fantastic. Please add the page number of the book where this can be found or note it down here. As this is a Biograpy of a living person we need to have a reference for this. Thanks!Karst (talk) 07:55, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
Gershon Eliezer Weinrib has never been Geddy's legal name[edit]
In this video, at timestamp 9:30 or so, Geddy states very clearly that "Gary Lee Weinrib" is the name on his birth certificate.

Gershon Eliezer Weinrib was a cultural name, and is the source of his legal name. But it has never actually been his legal name at any point in his life. His legal name was "Gary" up until he himself had it legally changed to "Geddy".
