remotelove@lemmy.ca 9 months agoIf the name is formally changed, who cares? It’s their stupid register that is fucked up forever.
Plus, while it would be awkward as a kid, I could totally rock that name now that I am older.

It’ll come up every time you need official government documentation. Something like “Have you been known under other names?”
Getting married? It’ll come up.
Need a police clearance for work? It’ll come up.
Need a Working with Children check for work? It’ll come up.
Getting a visa to work/travel overseas? It’ll come up.
Yes, it can be explained away. But I can see this costing the kid jobs, at the very least. Some employers might ask the candidate to explain this, Others might just not bother.
