Roger has recounted his religious conversion and name change story in interviews. His maharishi(or whatever the hell they called them) said he resonated better with the letter "R", so Jim/Roger gave him a list of ten words starting with that letter. They were all based on his love of Sci-Fi-things like rocket ram-jet etc. The swami picked Roger(as in "Roger, Roger. What's your vector, Victor?), as it was the most normal.
Sorry if I hijacked-big Byrds fan.
