As soon as I am legally able to, I am changing my name from Dmytro to Dima.

"Dmytro" is basically a document-only name. Growing up, it was only ever used by strict teachers. Everyone else has called me Dima since birth. But now, this legal name essentially functions as a deadname that follows me everywhere. It is completely unpronounceable and unreadable for most people I interact with.

The resulting typos in emails and chats are endless - I regularly get addressed as Dymi, Demi, Dymo, or Dema because people have no idea how to spell my actual name based on the legal one. It is exhausting to constantly explain the mechanics of Slavic name shortening, and having to reassure colleagues that no, calling me Dima is not rude or overly informal.

It just creates an unnecessary daily social tax and constant friction.

Rajasthan’s new “Sarthak Naam Abhiyan” allows students to change unusual or derogatory names, even during the school term. The move aims to boost confidence and reshape identity in classrooms. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/india/rajasthan-sarthak-naam-abhiyan-student-renaming-jft29u1x?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #namechange #Rajasthan #SarthakNaamAbhiyan #derogatory

anyone here changed your name (by deed poll or otherwise) because you wanted to (as opposed to as a result of marriage, divorce, etc.)?
i'm *thisclose* to ditching my father's surname for my mum's & i just want an idea whether there are things that i might not have considered which i may regret.

Nel 2012 un post su Reddit con la carta Apple di Sam Sung diventò virale. Il suo nome simile a Samsung lo trasformò in una gag e lo spinse a cambiare nome. Oggi è Sam Struan. 🍏📇 #Apple #Viral #NameChange

#HotTake: changing your name is one of the highest forms of self-expression, including using multiple names, and anyone should be able to change their name at any time for any reason, even if you think the name and/or reason is stupid, and even if the name is "Manchester United".

By the 2100s, wacky names like "Tennesee Tuxedo", "Dicksucker Jones", and "Zero" will be normalized and accepted, because people will move on from name-authoritarianism and embrace name-freedom along with morphological-freedom and clothing-freedom.

(TLDR: the 2120s will be full of naked furries with funny names, that is my #prediction 😎 )

Naming a school after someone is not about preserving history, which is permanent and unchangeable, it is a mark of honour.

Of the billions of people who have lived in the world, a tiny tiny fraction have things named after them. It is, when yiu really think of it, a gigantic honour.

But honour is always subjective and current, so if it no longer seems the person is honourable based on newly discovered or understood history then the proper thing to do is remove the honour.

That becomes part of the history which must be preserved and told.

Racist, violent, colonialists do not deserve to be honoured.

Aaaaaand once again, I'm finding myself debating whether or not I would like to undergo a legal name change. I've just written to a lawfirm with some questions, not the least of which is whether I have to change the name on my birth certificate directly. I'd rather keep the birth name on the certificate and have it reflect that it was changed to my preferred name at a later date. I'm from Utah, and I realize that laws differ from state to state, but I'd love to hear more experiences, thoughts, and opinions from the people who have gone through a legal name change for reasons other than marriage. What challenges (if any) did you have to go through? Was your reason for the change considered valid? Did you have to change your birth certificate, or did you have the option of making an amendment that simply reflected the name change took place? Did you use an attorney to help with the process, and did it cost a lot? #Legal #NameChange #Utah #Advice

Back from the general consulate to order a new passport and ID. It’s still going to take a while but there is one piece of unexpected good news:

I was able to request the new documents with PhD and just have them on hold until I send them my certificate by e-mail. Since I have my defense next Monday, this will just come down to a six, maybe seven, day delay but will in exchange have a note in my documents that I have a PhD.

Now for context: This is an almost exclusively German thing that comes with some de facto perks, that shouldn’t exist but very much did: By several accounts it causes you to be taken more seriously by medical professionals, has simplified border-crossings in the past and similar things. Now some of that may be lost at this point, because they moved it to the back of the ID, making it far less obvious, but in turn eliminating the confusion that some peopl have had to deal with when border agents in other countries didn’t understand the concept and caused more trouble.

So I guess they eliminated the issues at the cost of reducing the perks (that shouldn’t exist in a functional society, but do). 🤷

Legal opinion is pretty clear: "in general, children of any age can make their own decision about the change of [...] name."

The Standesamt Garmisch just called me back about my name-change, letting me know that they are somewhat pissed at their oversight bodies for completely failing them to inform them about everything and that they seemingly know even less about the procedure than me at this point, having had to search for basic information on the web.

Generally speaking that seems like a good attitude to work with, because they seem fully supportive of my side. For now we agreed that I would send them my application tomorrow together with a copy of my ID via E-Mail and they will let me know whether this is enough or whether I have to send it via post.

So in short: The higher tiers in the government are clueless as so often, but the lower tiers seem supportive, which is usually MUCH better than the other way around.
