OP, remember when you made your first thread and it was real lame? Then you were given that dancing Lamia avatar, and suddenly you were the toast of the forum?

I think you know what your new legal name should be if you want to be popular on the internet.

E: there is one thing I’d heavily advise instilling. Sometimes I’ll get “oh [name] is too hard to say, can I call you x?”. Unless there is a physical reason as to why someone can’t say your name correctly (and I’ve yet to come across one), don’t let anyone weasel out of learning a name. It might take practice, there might be mistakes and that’s fine, but learning someone’s name is the most basic form of human respect. Everyone is deserving of being called by their name.

don't need tips (except tip's tip) on my kid's name, it's too late, but some further info
a) the weirder name is easy to spell and say, it's literally two letters, and is a real name not made up
b) the name that contains it is easy too and maybe more familiar to english speakers but still pretty uncommon anyway
c) both myself and partner have uncommon names (though mine's become less so since i was born, which i find annoying) and like that we do. they are simple though so that was a criterion for the kid's
d) we don't live in a place where fitting in would really apply to names. london is full of far flung names from far flung places. i can imagine different elsewhere though

anyway thanks tip. I've always found that people in your life only have to react to your name aesthetically once, and then they know you, and the name just means you and is neutral. so OP go for it if you want and people will roll with it.

Yeah I'm totally owned by liking how I was born.

E: when I change my name I'm referring to that list of japanese video game baseball players, today I'm Bobson Dugnutt, next week I might be Mike Truk.

For the past week "Sleve MacDichael" has been popping into my head at random times.

Mods can't change your real name op, you'll have to ask a government official to do that and maybe pay a little extra under the table to get a good one

I've never known anybody who did it though, apart from marriage reasons. I suppose trans people do it all the time. Those are 'real' reasons, though. I just think my name is sort of crappy. First name is dirt common where I live, there are always about 4 or 5 guys with the same name in any group of 20. Second name is constantly mispronounced. I always think my name might as well be 'just some loving guy from around here'.

Not an obviously made up name, although I can't believe it took me until today to realise how many movie stars have fake names. I knew Nicolas Cage was made up, cos of course it is, but I didn't know Whoopi Goldberg was made up. Loads of them do it. I'd like to come up with a better name that does some work for me.

you ever known anybody who did this?

my cis ex changed her name just cause she wanted to

Im actually kinda proud that we've had some actual real discussion about the nature of names and this thread hasn't spiralled into a vulgar contest of goons suggesting worse and worse names.

I would have chosen Rodd Sounding, it sounds cooler you can change it again if you like it I'm not using it.

I had my name changed when i was a kid because my abusive shitbird father named me after himself

As soon as he got merked, i wanted to change my name and have nothing to do with his name

I got to stamp the name change form at the notary office, that was cool
