Wow, even easier now they've invented computers and stopped using quills then.

[bednobs]

ohh b00, may i ask why you did it? Di you have an awful name or something? Tallulah perhaps?

[snags]

''Yep, and no, no problems whatsoever ''

Did you change your name from BOD?

[Octavius]

or POO

[mccfluff]

Loo?

[bednobs]

Actually, i don't know why i said tallulah, as i really like that name and wanted it for mini bednobs.

[ummmm]

You changed it in 1934? No wonder you can't remember :-)

[B00]

Well, id rather not make this post about me, but seeing as you asked, lol.

Yes, my name was awful Bednobs, well, I hated it, everyone else said it was ok. But by my mid 30's I began to wonder why I still had something that I hated and was so easy to change, so I did.

My name now isn't daft, silly, or 'out there' it's just a normal, every day name which doesn't now 'stand out' as I felt my previous one did.

Octavius- (brilliant to see you around again xx) it's easier than what that, I did it all online, it was extremely simple to do.

Snaggles- shut it :P

Paddy- as Ive said, it was really easy to do. Once I'd received the official paperwork, i then took it to the relevant bodies (bank, works HR, doctors etc) and informed them and that was that.

[bednobs]

please tell us what it is/was
If not, can you at least say if it's similar, or if people you'd known a long time suddenly had to start calling you "sharon" instead of "elsie"

[snags]

Personally I quite like the name Fangita but each to their own...

[ummmm]

I've asked her before, bednobs, she won't tell, spoilt sport!

[B00]

lol, no, I won't tell you, It's now gone, and ive on wish to see it resurrected :-)

[rockyracoon]

Boo, was it just your first name that you changed?

[mccfluff]

cos, we'd never take the pee, honestly.......

[mccfluff]

my neice changed her surname, she didn;t have any problems doing it, as Boo did she gave the paperwork to the various agencies, banks, docs, passport and its was all sorted pretty painlessly

[B00]

Yes RR
