Re: I changed my name
Never understood wanting to change your name
Re: I changed my name
I like my new one better than my old one.
Lets say your name is Robert. Everyone calls you Rob. Your bank card says rob, everything you name says rob, but the legal stuff says Robert. Over time you forget which is which, so you don't know if you used your legal name or assumed name and it gets confusing when for example, government/banks won't accept you saying your name is Rob if they want a Robert, or the other way around. I've never been the long version of my name, and indeed, none of my friends even knew my actual name was the long version.
As for middle name, I never had any connection with it, but now I do. Its a link to my grandfather (no his name was not Fred)
Re: I changed my name
So Frederick, does it cost money to change your name?
Let me guess, NFW = No Freaking Way

Well Australian and American culture in terms of the lines (grandfather, father, son etc) are a bit different...
I was going to say Michael/Mike but changed to Rob...
I don't know anyone that goes by their middle name here.
Re: I changed my name
Pretty common here

No Fredding Way
Re: I changed my name
Er, congratulation?
As for initials, I remember in naming our two kids, we playing with the initials to make sure they weren't anything other kids could use to make fun of them. Alas, a couple of names we really liked had to be put aside because of that.

Nothing horrible. The only one my wife and I can remember (I just asked her) was first & middle name of Michael Thomas: MT = empty.

What sort of person calls the child "Mike"?
If you give the child the proper name then they're free to use the petty one and the proper version goes on every legal document, so there's never any confusion.
Though, I'm biased as I loath being refered to as "Phil" though most of my male friends ignore that.

Re: I changed my name
I did know someone like that once, each firstborn in his family was called Robert so he went by his middle name, Alex since he hated Robert. We found out one day when a substitute teacher called the roll and after that we would often make fun of him and call him by his first name.

On your name, pever. I think it's Nick, since Nicholas is the first "N" name that comes to mind that is still a proper name when short.

Re: I changed my name
To be fair I can think of some names people might want to change.
Like when you're called Peter File, or Ben Dover, or something like that.
At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.
Re: I changed my name
I know some people with the first name of Mike, others with Michael that is shortend to various things. Micky, Mikey, Mike etc
Its amazing how much flak you cop as a kid with the name Nick...especially when combined with my surname... Think related.

Re: I changed my name
Re: I changed my name
Did you name yourself Fred or change it from Fred to Nick?
I want to rename myself to 'Gomez' as it sounds like the kind of name a Gecko would have.
Re: I changed my name
I had a friend called Nick in school, he copped all sorts of flak due to phallic related nick names. If your surname is fitting, then it must contain "Wil" in it, Wilson, Williams, Willis, something like that.
Re: I changed my name
My name is Alec. No one ever calls me Al *song reference*. I love having a name that cannot really be shortened, and does not rhyme with anything remotely offensive. Nor do I have initials that spell out any form of word.
Unfortunately, there are some people that, when first greeted with, call me Alex. I want to punch those people in the face.

Yup.

Re: I changed my name
I wanted to change my name to Juan Pablo Hector Ruiz Emmanuel de la Maestro but it couldn't fit on the dotted line...
Re: I changed my name
Well, either way, I think Nick is a bit better than Fred, but I'm not sure which one you opted for.
Oh and Gomez Benassi, yes I like the sound of that.
So, do your parents mind? You must have a hell of a lot of things you need to authenticate.
Re: I changed my name
Yeah I should probably get around to changing bank stuff, letting other parts of the government know and all that.
