is there shame in legally changing your name?
    #23872137 - 11/27/16 01:59 PM (7 years, 2 months ago)

I know a guy who changed his name to the name of a famous Polish scientist. I thought OK...... so you now have the name of a famous scientist. Weird.
But then i thought, I don't think my own name is all that great either. Hmmmm, I can think of a few names that would suit me better. What if I did it? Would it be shameful?
shameful?
You may choose only one

Okay, Okay... I'm trying to empathize a little more... Your father named you Felicia, and now youre resentful about it because you finally realize it to be life-long joke about how you'd never truly be his son?

Am I close?

I said not at all, but upon reflection if it is because you are ashamed of your name more than having another name that you really like, these is some shame involved.  I didn't like my name when I was like 5 years old and wanted to change it, but I was just being a baby.  It's just a name.

Sometimes I want to get a namechange here at the shroomery, because I never put much thought into this one and for a while it seemed kinda infantile to me when I started posting here for non-research, but for the most part I just can't be fucked.  Who really cared anyway?

When I was really young I spontaneously started going by a different name as I hated mine :lol:

My name was very long and Hebrew and hard to pronounce as well as having some religious overtones...

As a kid it really annoyed me no one could pronounce my name and as I had long hair as a kid too people often thought I was a girl which was more annoying. Eventually I stopped caring but I stuck with my nickname.

Now I think of it as my middle name and use it for everything except official stuff that needs my legal name. I don't have an actual middle name so it worked out perfectly.

That depends on your family, culture and circumstance I guess. There would be shame for me for sure, most of it would be self induced though. 

If you didn't grow up with your father around or something it's a good reason to create a new family name that doesn't exist yet.

My parents used a new last name for me anyways :lol: Apparently there is some girl with the same last name as me who is the daughter of a friend of theirs.

I always hated having a hebrew name as everyone assumed I was jewish as I have a big nose :tongue2: But I am pretty sure that is from my spanish side...

Maybe they should had picked a better name. I might change mine soon. It's alot of paper work to change though if you've already made a life for yourself.

Celebrities often change their names, but that is usually because to be a member of the screen actors guild , you must have a unique name different from anyone who is - or has ever been - a member.

Feels weird having the same name as other people, way too many pipsqueaks have the same name as I. Makes me feel less special, but can also be a humble thing once u get over it.. Im like a ninja.

I say not at all, it's your being.

What if your parents gave you a Christian name, but you didn't like what Christianity stood for and wanted a cool pagan Scandinavian name, then fuck yeah you get yourself a cool pagan name.

I've heard of that, but do you have to do a legal name change in order to use it as your screen name?


I worked with a couple of native guys who said that everyone from their reserve had to have a unique first name. The one guy's name was actually Justin but everyone called him Curtis because there was already a Justin.

My last name has a typo in it on my birth certificate and some of my other ID, a space where there isn't supposed to be one. I've thought about trying to correct it but I'm not sure if there's some kind of short-cut process that's simpler than a full-out name change.

My grandpa hated his middle name, Logan, so much that he legally changed it to the letter L. I've been wanting to change my first name to the letter J. but my moms said she would be pissed. She named me after the lead singer of The Moody Blues.

No. Why is it shameful? It's practically customary for half the population to change their name when they get married.

I changed my name legally a few times over the course of my life. I like my new name a lot better, and I noticed I get a lot more call backs on resumes too. The first thing people comment on when they meet me is how much they love my name. I feel like it's changed my whole aura and how people approach me.

He was spanish/ Cuban I believe with maybe a bit of mexican/ central American.

I didn't realize what his real name was as I had heard it pronounced jesuse or something and people all called him Jesse  but I saw it written down once and had a WTF moment :lol:

Sadly he died when I was very young so I have no memory of meeting him but I can tell we have a lot in common as he was an old school hippie who was way into arts/music and a lot of stuff I love.
