Can you change your name?

In: Law & Legal Issues [Edit categories]

Answer:

well, if you want to change your name, if you don`t think it suits you or you just don`t like it, you have three options:

1) you can change your name legally

2) you can make yourself a nickname and get everyone to call you by it

3) you can lie about your real name and say it is another

I`d go with the 1st or 2nd choice. Lying is never a good choice, unless you really need to. Or you just can`t help it.
