Re: What should I change my name to?why, whenever you hear of someone changing their name, is there always "by deed poll" added on? what the hell is a deed poll? are there other ways to change a name?(Original post by Flyteryder)
For personal reasons, I want to change my name by deed poll. I'm a white British guy. At the moment I'm thinking Taylor Flyte, any other suggestions?
I mean my real life name, not my TSR name. -

Re: What should I change my name to?This is true! I don't even have an unusual name, just one with lots of spelling variations. There are at least four places in my name with the potential for spelling mistakes, which leads to getting lost on databases, people sending emails to a misspellt address etc. a lot.(Original post by FreddieK)
On a serious note, when you think of a name, consider how many ways it could be spelt and how tedious it could get telling people:
"It's Flyte."
"Is that F-L-I..?"
"No, F-L-Y..."
"G-H-T?"
Trust me, I live with this kind of thing. I have, in the words of Daphne du Maurier, a 'lovely and unusual name', but if I had a pound for every time I'd had to spell it...
