    I did legally change my name. Quite the process! It is a very gratifying thing to do though, if of course you do want to change your name.

    Where's the option ''I already changed my name''?

    I did it and it's the best thing I've ever done! Though, as a trans person, it was necessary for me to be sane.

    My middle name is Rose. I want to change it to something more original, because it seems like half the girls I know have Rose as their middle name.

    I would only change my first name to Felix.
    Otherwise I'm fairly happy with my name.

    Never!!!! Okay, maybe because as a scientist, your name is the only way people can look you up for your research, but in any case I like my name and so do most other people since it's unusual and familiar at the same time.

    I'd probably change my name into something international... it's bad enough that I dislike my country, yet it's worse that I feel like there's not one nationality that I would like to have as I'm always torn between so many. - so that's why.
