I'm changing my name to Frank, what do you think? [poll]

[Gl4di4tor]

Changing my name to Frank on my citizenship app from a traditional muslim name. The name actually means "free" [edit]. So what do you guys think? Any other suggestions?

Reasons why I want to change my name:
1. Not an easy name for people to remeber
2. I've denounced my religion of Islam [not my ethnicity]. Now I'm atheist/agnosic
3. Don't like it personally
4. Really hard to pronounce for most people

Btw, I'm planning on keeping my original first name as a middle name.

Shoot, I'm from Canada and I haven't seen one episode. But my brother in Toronto sent me the TPB Christmas special DVD. Guess I better pop it in.

Anyway, what is your current name?

The Franks settled in the regions now called France and the Netherlands in the 3rd and 4th century. They derived their tribal name from the name of a type of spear that they used. So what do you guys think? Any other suggestions?

i dont understand why people are so ashamed of their name that they gotta legally change it. i got a tradional muslim name too and i remember wanting to change it when i was young but now that i think about it, it would have been dumb. the only way I would change my name is if my parents gave me some dumbass names like crimefighter, moonunit or pilot (yes, all real names).

I like the name Max Power. You don't just sleep with Max Power, you strap yourself in and feel the Gs!

 

[Gl4di4tor]

Rather not say my first name because it is very uncommon and it will be too easy for someone to know who I am plus it doesn't really make a difference.

 

[FoBoT]

the OP doesn't say he is ashamed of his birth name

but then it doesn't say he isn't either

the OP didn't give a reason

 

[Steve]

Why don't you send it to me via PM?

 

[Adica]

I don't like the name Frank. If you like it, that's all the really matters.

 

[Quasmo]

I'M FRANK DOUGLAS! GET OUT OF MY WAY!

Well, one college basketball player's name is Jihad Muhammad. Try buying a plane ticket with that name.
