Change your name?

Would you change your name if you could and it was easy?

Obviously the difficulty is obvious (passports bills etc)

But you didn’t pick your name, someone else did. So, if you would what would you change it too? And if you have already, why did you choose it?

Just curious.

Think you can do it on the Settings tab...doesn't mean you can attend to those that have blocked you though.

I like my real name now but didn’t when I was younger due to it’s quirky spelling. I wouldn’t change it as my dad chose it for me

I have changed my name.

I changed it with a deed poll.

Some places are easier to change it than others but it’s more time consuming than difficult.

I’ve had issues with Barclays Bank where I’ve had to take my deed poll in three times due to their rubbish system. How they can send a letter in my new name with a card attached in my old name. how they can send a cheque book to me four years after I’ve ‘resolved’ the issue to find the tear off slip on the front of the book has my new name but inside it’s my old.

So to summarise. It’s easy..... unless you bank with Barclays.

I have a quirky spelling. (Not so much realty, but not the usual way it is known.) I got used to it and now accept any way it is pronounced or spelt, I just can’t be bothered correcting them anymore.

If I ever had to change my name I’ve got the perfect name.

Dave!

Like, who wouldn’t trust a Dave?

You know what it’s like, if you need some work done on your house or car and a friend suggests a guy called Dave you just have pure trust in Dave straight away,

Dave just sounds like a cool, grounded and decent guy.

Like you’d trust a Dave to look after your dog or if your widowed mum had a Dave coming to cut the grass you’d just think you can trust him.

If you had a Dave in your little black book you’d call on him and know he’s going to come and please you and there wouldn’t be any hassle.

Same can’t be said for a Jason or Mark. You’d always have your guard up

There and to the left a bit

I already have on both counts - my surname anyway - was changed when I was a kid to match my step-bastard's.

I was too young at the time to have any say in the matter or for it to have any real impact on me beyond having to fill in extra boxes on official forms.

I was married to a Dave. He was a lying, cheating, manipulating, mentally abusive twat. My dad is also called Dave & is the complete opposite.

Yes i hate my name. my mother was bingewatching a british show called birds of a feather when i was born and named me after a character from that who's name she liked the sound of

but because of its similarity to darren and her strange spelling with a Y she doomed me to being called darren or having it misspelled

Note to self: avoid binge watching shows before the birth of any of my potential future children

Assuming you mean first name.

Many women change their surname when they get married.

Deed poll is also easy.

I'd be hounding their complaints department. I'd also change banks. Fuckers.

I hated my original name for various reasons... I use my married name now, even though I've been divorced longer than i was married lol.. It definitely suits me and i feel comfortable in my 'new' skin

The only thing that defeated me was trying to change my name on my Boots loyalty card

Men

* You have no idea how hard it is adjusting to a new name and rediscovering your identity - it took me a year

* also you have no idea of the crap we go through to change our name.. I had to get one document notarised three times

It's a man's world without doubt
