@Stuxnet possible. But it can also be a gay marriage.

@Stuxnet he had to spell his last name every time he phones. his new name is easier to write.

@cherusker sounds like a good reason to change

I changed my name to join in my wife's lastname, as i got on better with her family than mine.
So we both went hyphenated.
The amount of companies who still are unable to update the name.
Or company that i worked with, updated it for the computer system, but not on my payslips...
Now she has realised that she doesn't like me, and wants to seperate. (But that is a rant for another time.)
I'm ashamed of it, but I want to share my tifu-story:
My colleague asked me if I could rename his windows user name because he married and changed his last name. I changed it in the Active Directory, but he got some problems when he wants to log on. On every startup his old name appears. Simpliest task. Let me google that.
Easy going, let me just change this registry entry. Reboot. Old behaviour. Okay, I changed some of the other entries. Reboot. Yeah, his new name appears. But wait a moment. Windows just nulled his entire user profile and deleted all the data. "oh, haha you have a backup, right?" - "no, I saved everything on the desktop, all my work is gone!"
But at the end, the boss was mad at HIM, because he doesn't used the file server or any backup system.
