Mark Alan Stamaty: Hello. My name is Mark Alan Stamaty, which rhymes with calamity. I'm half Greek and half Jewish. Stamaty is my father's side, the Greek side, and the Greek name was Stamatos. My parents were going to call me Mark Abel, and my aunt said, "Well, if you call him Mark Abel, then kids will make fun of him in school and call him Remarkable Stamaty," so they decided to call me mark Alan.
