Hopefully, no one should need a get!!

Comes to mind a cute story, where a couple went to a Rov (a most competent one!!) and asked for divorce. The woman in question had a sha’alah about her name, so the Rav advised them to change it (maybe I’m getting wrong on the details), and he should only use her new first name for thirty days. Like ‘Good morning, Rachel’, ‘Good night, Rachel’, ‘I’m going out, Rachel’. After thirty days they (naturally) did NOT show up again to proceed further with their divorce.

So it’s an excellent thing to have a sha’alah aboout one’s name!!
