usic mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs has agreed to stop using the name "Diddy" in the UK after being sued by British producer Richard "Diddy" Dearlove.

LONDON - Solicitors Jens Hills & Co. said Combs had agreed to "rebrand his commercial activities" in Britain and would "no longer be able to trade in the U.K. as 'Diddy.'" Combs' lawyer, Nigel Calvert, could not immediately be reached for comment. Combs - formerly known as Puffy and Puff Daddy - has used the moniker P. Diddy since 2001, but last year decided to be known solely as Diddy. Dearlove launched a lawsuit for unfair competition, claiming the name change had caused confusion. The case had been due to go to the High Court next month. "I started getting e-mails from Puerto Rican girls asking if they could be in my video and people were asking me to look at their clothing line," Dearlove was quoted as saying by The Guardian newspaper.

Quote of the month from Dearlove: "I started getting e-mails from Puerto Rican girls asking if they could be in my video and people were asking me to look at their clothing line." If you don't think I'm going to use this line as my new email signature, you are sadly mistaken.

What do you think Diddy's new British name should be? Here are my choices:

1. Stanley Liebowitz (so different, so Jewish, so Diddy)

2. Rapper McRapalot (tell me you wouldn't go to a concert with a guy name Rapper McRapalot headlining; of course you would)

3. Richard Dearlove (this is what we call "delicious irony")
