Would you ever change your name?

[*L*E*G*A*C*Y*]

Personally, I wouldn't. My name is too unique and has too much gusto. Although I'm used to having people butcher it all the time. I have a really Nigerian name and I'm the only person in the United States with it (I looked it up).

But yea, because of it I've definitely had problems seeking employment. Even when I was working at a call center, my boss suggested that I should use a different name like "Timothy" or some other American Anglicized name so I "didn't scare off customers" (I was dealing with mostly older white people on the phone) and "put them at ease". After that I threw that job in the bushes that shyt didn't pay anything anyways.

F*ck you. I love my name and just because some xenophobic people don't like it is no reason why I should change it even for a job. My parents gave me that name and they would be heartbroken to see their legacy erased by my own doing just to be "more accepted" in American sucksiety.

i hate having to repeat it every time like 3 times tho.

Nah, I wouldn't change the name but I thought about changing the spelling of it. I've actually been spelling it wrong my entire life. I looked really closely at my ss card/birth certificate a year or 2 ago and realized I was adding an extra letter this entire time

I wanted to get it legally changed to the way I was spelling it before since I was already used to it but now I think the original spelling is a lot cuter :arrogant: I love my name.

Y'all want some entertainment..... I have been wanting to change my middle name forever because no sense having a** mother decided that she wanted to name me after her gay best friend from college.

I don't even use it on government paperwork. I dropped the name and initial altogether.

I unofficially changed my name in Kindergarden and it stuck till HS then I went back to my original name because all my teachers would call me that.

I definitely wouldn't, I have too many nicknames my friends have made and I'm super attached to it now.

Yea. I saw them papers and was like " Wtf momma?!?!" She was shocked too and just said that the way I've been spelling it is the way she originally wanted it. The gubment must have made a typo that she never noticed until now.

SO YOUR NAME IS TOOKEN?

Lmaoo!!! My momma named me Tooken but the papers say Token. Same pronunciation.
