Nashville pop-country band Lady Antebellum changed their name to Lady A last month. As they explained to their fans, they dropped the Antebellum because "we did not take into account the associations that weigh down this word referring to the period of history before the Civil War, which includes slavery." Another thing they did not take into account: Anita White, a 61-year-old blues singer from Seattle, has been performing under the name Lady A for more than two decades. After White expressed her displeasure with the name change, the band made contact to seek out "positive solutions and common ground." Those solutions apparently included suing White for trademark infringement.
