[Matt]

My real name is Matthew and I only get called that by my parents of if I'm naughty. Otherwise it's Matt. I hate hate hate being called Matthew. I wanted a name change in primary school but then in Secondary School everyone just called me Matt which was better.

Do you use your full legal name normally? like someone people only have a first and last name but some have loads.

I don't, I only use my first and half of my last name lmfao. The only time I use my full name is on passport... my school doesn't have my name or anything like that!

Your school nore than likely have your proper name on their official documents.

On forms I will use my first, middle and last name. Things that just need a name will have just my first and last. Everything Uni related has my middle name because of UCAS

And I wonder how many people will get their name changed when they realise the cost and hassle involved

[Aiden]

They might idk but on registers it's just first and last not double last and middle

Nobody in our school had their middle names on the register, but the school still knew them, and there were a few cases where people had their shortened names on the register as well, so the register doesn't really tell you much.

I don't like stephen so I go by Stefy or Stefanny

Wanna change my last name to my mums maiden name though

Passport, drivers licence, everything official has first, middle and surname.

At school middle names were on the register but the teacher never read them. Except for that one kid who would always insist their middle name was part of their first name and that they should be called Amy-Louise and not just Amy.

When we applied for uni, UCAS said to put your full name, so at our school we assumed that included middle names so everyone put their middle names. When you get to uni you realise then very few people did that so you are the only moron who has their middle name put on EVERYTHING!

I generally now just put my first and last name... Although I have my middle name on Facebook since they made an option for that rather than people putting their first and middle name in the 'first name' box.

My real name is Alexander but I'm just called Alex as is most people.

I'm not sure if I understand your or not, but getting my name changed was relatively easy! All you do is write out a declaration (you can just copy and paste) just pop your name in and goto a solicitor. Doesn't take very much effort tbh

And then you have to notify everyone and everything about your name change was the point I was trying to make I've also had my name changed, but I was about 6 or so, so my mum handled it all
