How is this something they’ve never accounted for! People have, like, names with different spellings, or multiple first names, or go by their middle name, how come you can’t just write YES THIS IS ALSO ME and their system handles that

My university literally just has a prefered name and they change literally Eveyrhing in every system if you ever change the preferred name

it’s caused a lot of issues for me because I use my middle name as my preferred name and then also use my first names on tests and I’m too lazy to fix it

Between not wanting my name on 1/2 of things to be male and the girl next to me not wanting her name on 1/2 of things to be korean, we can really fuckin tackle these inefficiencies

My middle name is great for friends while my first name is great for making a good generic first impression

My mom uses her maiden name professionally and her married name in her personal life and she said it’s nice to have because you can tell where somebody knows you from, and people can’t always look you up as easily if you don’t want them to

She did some trickery with a school board meeting where she was able to pretend she didn’t know somebody b/c she had two different names and her first name was generic enough that people didn’t immediately assume the names were the same person

If I ever get married, even if i took last name of other person, I probably just gonna use current last name, because it’s generic/unoffensive but has brandable intials

would consider doing a combination last name if whoever I married had another british last name, because people with two british last names seem wealthier to me, and if I was in a heavier finance job i’d want that
