  • No mods, before you close this thread, not name changes in PC. I'm talking about real life. Do you see a point in changing your name? Like if you were John, do you see a point into changing it into something like Lewis?

  • When I get older I'm planning on changing my first name so that it has the English spelling, which is what I use already anyway.
    I'm going to drop my last name, replace it with my middle name and then change my middle name to something like James.

    I wouldn't really want to have a name change. It would be like a sex transplant but less physical @~@.

    I also think the only reason a person should change their name is if their parents where retarded enough to give a name of the opposite gender. I think even a 10 year old can hold that legal responsibility.

    I would never have a name change in my life. My names are very unique and they give me a name, so no. I would not give myself a name change in a million years.

  • Nope, I like my name. I'd never change it. It would be much too weird for my friends and family to cope with =/

  • No. I have quite a unique name... and being referred to by a different name would just be weird IMO.

  • Although it annoys me when people misspell my name because of how it's spelled, I don't think I'd ever change it. I find it unique, and it's nice how I can just devise so many short names for myself. And because of how it's spelled, I kinda have two names, since my name in Polish is Ola. I like my name, odd spelling or not.

    And it'd just be weird to change my name. I'd feel like a totally different person. xD

  • I'm not particularly fond of my name because I find it pretty boring, but its not bad enough to the extent that I would change it.
    I've already got my named changed. Not officially. I just consider myself under a new name: Angel. And thus, that's what I'm referred as, since I don't like my original name and I don't think it fits me.

    Also, I'm rearranging my whole name to make it sound awesome, but girly. I don't care, anyhow.
    Rick > Angel and Rick is part of Derrick... hmph. >:(

    No, I don't find anything wrong with my name.
    I actually prefer it over other names, even if it did take a few years for me to accept it.

  • Nope, I have no intention of getting my name changed. Because if I did, it would probably be to 'Zam.' :P

    ...and my actual name suits me better in real life, methinks. XD

    Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I believe the most common reason for name changing is when a couple get married, and one changes his/her surname to match the other's, heh. But of course, this is getting less common methinks(my cousin got married last year and kept her name ^_^). Now if I ever get married, I wouldn't require my spouse to get a name change, nor would I change mine. =P

    I like my name and i'm never changing it:> Besides, it would be hard to get used to everyone calling you a different name suddenly.

    I doubt I would ever really want to change my name these days, but it's something I really did want to do for the longest time when I was younger. No one actually call me by the name I was given, so it seems a little odd to have that as a name when the name I am called isn't actually some short nickname, but a proper name all in itself.

    I actually like my name, even though I usually go by a nickname anyways.
    But I've always wanted to have something not so normal, like movie star names. Some of the names they choose for their kids are pretty unique~

    When I was younger I wanted to change my name to Promise, ( I think it's so pretty, and unusual ), but now I just really want to name my little girl that someday instead~ ^3^

    ...darn, I was ready to chomp off your head. XD

    My name is my identity whether I like it or not. I'm not fond of changing anything that has represented who I am throughout the years, especially the handle in which every single person I've met so far know me as. Despite the fact that I actually used to dislike my name, I've grown to like it over time.
