How does a guy name Benjamin Barker ( quite a common sounding name) decide to change his name to "Sweeney Todd"? I've never heard of the name "Sweeney". Is it really a name? I wonder.

    (found by googling Benjamin Barker) http://www.crimelibrary.com/serial_killers/weird/todd/index_1.html?sect=3

    the real question would probably be more like "how did they decide on a common-sounding name like Benjamin Barker from the starting point of Sweeney Todd?"
