Changing your name

The way celebrities name their children nowadays it's only natural that they'd want to change their name, i mean growing up with the name Apple? and it got me thinking, how many of us would want to change their name?

I would keep mine...first and last! I get lots of positive comments on my last name, however not a lot of people pronounce it correctly.

I tried to legally change my name to Buckland Cowchuck, but the judge who reviewed my request rejected it without so much as a howdy do.

I like my name, save for the lack of flow. There's an abrupt stop at the end of my first name. I like the names Marion and Jàn, though.

I've always been partial to Dylan

I thought about it, but for professional reasons I left it the way it is spelt right now.

I might change my last name someday....

how about to something ethnic sounding?

I do love ethnic sounding names

I've always liked my name.
Not many people believe my last name is real, but that's ok with me.
They don't have to know I'm actually a superhero. ;]

I might change my last name, but I'm keeping the first since I like it as does everyone else.

My first name is a keeper but my last one is my husbands...

In the future, if we separate, I am sure I'd want to change it, but no idea whether I'd go back to my maiden name or something else....

Didn't a kid in Montana or Wyoming LEGALLY change his name to "Troutfishinginamerica", a few years ago?

Wordie: Moon Unit, Diva Thin Muffin, and Fifi-Trixibelle would you name your kid lady nasty?

I've always liked the name Haywood Jablome. Think I could get a judge to let me change my name to it? <heh>

I find nothing wrong with the name Apple. I grew up with people of all sorts of backgrounds and my high school year book had Mustafa, Velma, Dhjib (not to be confused with Dhjub or Djhab), Omar, Oemil, Pleasant, Nazareth, Song, Kareem, Munir, Beanie, Soheir (or was it Sohair), London and Sahib not to mention, Isadore, Igor, Valentine and Raj and of course there were the odd names such as Thomas, Joseph, George, William, James, Louis, Pamela, Susan, Ann...

A name is what you make of it or don't. Names which strike an American as odd may seem normal to a Pakistani and vice-versa. As to changing it, why? It's served me well so far; so, why tamper with it.

Gah. The guy I'm with right now wants to change his first name when he comes to the United States... and I don't want him to! He says he thinks it's too childish, I think it's sexy as hell. Makes me sad. I told him that no matter what he changes his name too, I'm still calling him by his REAL name. Hehe.

I have never had any urge to change my name. It'd be too much of a pain in the ass, and I have nothing against it... just a nice, average name.
