    Changing your legal name

    If you were going to change your legal first name what would you change it to?

    It wouldn't matter, because people would still have trouble trying to pronounce it. Hell, I have an uncommon American name that is only two whole syllables long and somehow people keep screwing that up, adding letters and sounds that aren't even there.

    Sidenote: everyone I know that has legally changed their name (or have claimed to) were all stupid weeb white girls that changed to a stupid anime name. "Uh, my name is no longer Ashley, I'm Yuki Hanamura-chan now, baka."

    I guess I just won't bother changing my name then.

    Already changed. Had to come up with new name because of sex change. However I gave the task for my parents because otherwise I would have felt like throwing away name that my parents came up with. I used to be Aatu and now I am Aada (same as Ada but pronounced differently). Even my second name is similar to what it used to be (old: Olavi. Now: Olivia). Liking my new name and everyone I know uses it like it's been there always.

    I actually DID legally change my name. I was Jonathan, though I mostly went by Jon, and am now Damien.

    When I get married I'm taking my wife's last name due to how certain individuals treated me when I was growing up. This person has a inflated sense of self regarding his family name. Now I just need to find a fertile maiden.

    Why not both names?

    I'd pick Max Steel.. or .. Vance van Wilder.

    I would change my first name to Adolf.

    Great name sadly it got tainted by a austrian guy.

    I already did.

    ... well, the process is underway, at least. Courts are slow.

    I'd get rid of the crappy baptized name and change it to my call name. But meh everyone uses my call name anyway, just annoying filling all that shit on official documents, and the baptized stuff doesn't really represent who I am. I'm irreligious.
