  2. 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.

  8. Today is my 10th Bee day! 🐝

    On this day in 2016, Stacie Bee was born. Best decision ever.

    My legal name change was effective along with my divorce and the universe welcomed Stacie Bee. I changed everything except my first name.

    💟🐝💟

  9. 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.

  10. 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

  11. #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 😎 )
