==Personal life== When McGuinn started with the Byrds, he used the name Jim, which he thought to be too plain. He became involved in the [[Subud]] spiritual association in 1965 and began to practice the [[latihan]], an exercise in quieting the mind. He changed his name in 1967<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/roger-mcguinn-230892/|title=Roger McGuinn|first1=David|last1=Fricke|publisher=[[Rolling Stone]]|date=August 23, 1990|access-date=October 7, 2019}}</ref> upon advice from Subud's founder [[Muhammad Subuh Sumohadiwidjojo|Bapak]]. Telling McGuinn that it would better "vibrate with the universe", Bapak sent the letter "R" to Jim and asked him to send back ten names starting with that letter. Owing to a fascination with airplanes, gadgets and science fiction, he sent names like "Rocket", "Retro", "Ramjet", and "Roger", the last a term used in [[Voice procedure|signalling protocol]] over two-way radios, military and [[civil aviation]].<ref name=":0" /> Roger was the only "real" name in the bunch, and Bapak chose it. McGuinn officially changed his middle name from Joseph to Roger and has used the name Roger professionally from that time on. McGuinn married Susan Bedrick in 1963; however, the marriage was subsequently annulled. From December 1966 to November 1971, he was married to Dolores DeLeon. A fellow adherent of Subud, DeLeon changed her name to Ianthe in 1967 but reverted to her original name after the dissolution of their marriage. With DeLeon, McGuinn fathered two sons, filmmaker Patrick McGuinn and Henry McGuinn. Immediately following their divorce, McGuinn married a third time, to Linda Gilbert in November 1971; this marriage also ended in divorce in June 1975.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0570118/bio?ref_=nm_dyk_trv_sm#trivia|title=Roger McGuinn : Biography|website=IMDb.com|access-date=March 28, 2017}}</ref> McGuinn left Subud in 1977, the same year that he met his fourth and current wife and business manager, Camilla; they married in April 1978.<ref name=":0" /> Since that time, the McGuinns have practiced [[evangelical Christianity]].<ref>{{cite web |first=Mark |last=Moring |work=[[Christianity Today]] |publisher=Christianity Today International | title = No Ordinary Folk | date = January 6, 2004 | url = http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/music/interviews/2004/rogermcguinn-0604.html |access-date=November 26, 2011 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | publisher = blue cloud abbey | title = A Different Calling | url = http://www.ibiblio.org/jimmy/mcguinn/Witness.html | access-date = September 8, 2019 }}</ref> A registered member of the [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican Party]], McGuinn donated $2,000 to the [[Ben Carson]] [[Ben Carson presidential campaign, 2016|presidential campaign]] in 2015 and refused to endorse [[Donald Trump]], noting "I don't like Trump."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/RogerMcGuinn/status/778360301255270400 |title=Roger McGuinn on Twitter: "I don't like Trump." |publisher=[[Twitter]] |date=September 20, 2016 |access-date=March 28, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://floridaresidentdb.com/person/113170982/j_roger_mcguinn |title=J Roger McGuinn β DOB: 1942/07/13 - Orlando, FL - Florida Resident Database |access-date=2016-12-06 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161221000923/https://floridaresidentdb.com/person/113170982/j_roger_mcguinn |archive-date=December 21, 2016 |df=mdy-all }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/qindcont/CT/81974.39/2/18266 |title=FEC Individual Contribution Search Results |access-date=2016-12-06 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161220083502/http://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/qindcont/CT/81974.39/2/18266 |archive-date=December 20, 2016 |df=mdy-all }}</ref> He also opposed [[Florida Amendment 1 (2016)]] (an initiative pertaining to the [[solar energy]] industry, of which McGuinn is a longtime advocate) and endorsed [[Florida Amendment 2 (2016)]] (a [[medical marijuana]] legalization initiative).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/RogerMcGuinn/status/788334195596599296?lang=en |title=Roger McGuinn on Twitter: "Vote yes on Prop. 2 and No on Prop 1 " |publisher=[[Twitter]] |date=October 18, 2016 |access-date=March 28, 2017}}</ref>
