Alright, I hate my last name. Not only is it a horrible last name I don't want to be associated with my "biological" dad.

Nor do I want to change it to reflect that of my mom or step dad's family's..

So I'm coming up with this out of no relatives.

So far I like Norton and Boyd..

Mike Boyd? Mike Norton? I don't know..

I love my maiden last name, but I also hate it. My mom has her first husband's last name, & my father insisted I have his last name (Crow). Right now I'm still using my ex-husband's last name (Palmer), but I honestly can't wait to change it back.

Hmn... both sound good... or you could always go with a fictional characters' last name that you like.

Hmm, I also thought about "Corbin"... Mike Corbin has a slight ring to it...


I would love to have 'Maynard' as my last name. But "Mike Maynard" sounds weird.

Yes, yes it does. Corbin is pretty cool though, and it works well. Is it sad that I now have the name "Corbin Dallas" stuck in my head?

Mike Corbin doesn't sound that bad... Heck, it sound alot cooler.

Now let see... last name... Last name...

Mike Lachesis
Mike Azel
Mike I-dunno-about-my-last-name (Sorry, that was joke.)
Mike Noish (Ooo, I like that last name!)
Mike L'Arachal (Don't give me that look!)
Mike Corbin (Kinda like Mike Noish, got a decent sound to it.)
Mike Finn

Or something a little funny:

Mike Fury

... What?

I wished I could change my last name... I just don't like the sound of it, plus it is annoying to hear my full name in a serious tone voice.

my new full name will be.

Any objections?

Kind of an interesting topic.

I've been "labled" under 3 different "last names", or whatever you shall call them.

My birth dads, which at the moment I can't even remember.
My grandparents (my mom and I lived with my grandparents for the first 3 years of my childhood, so I took their name, since I didn't have a dad and my mom wasn't married. My birth dad moved away and went into the military, haven't seen him since I was 3, so I don't know if he even exists to this day, and I can't even remember what he looked like)

Then I took my 'adopting' fathers name.

I don't like my last name either, but then I really don't care about it. To me, it's just some stupid name, nothing I'd really care to put effort into changing or anything.

... Anyways, just don't go with Smith.

Not sure about Corbin though, I've heard that as a first name quite often.

I take it that you didn't really like "Mike" either then?

Heh heh, you could always make it Jin Corbin, then all will know you as Jin, heh heh.

Hey, it's just a thought.

I used to have a couple people I know from here post on the old boards, and they called me Jin time to time..

But seriously. Me and Makura havd discussed this.. My new name will be Jamie Corbin.

Maybe maynard could be my middle name? Jamie Maynard Corbin?

But why change your first name? I mean, I don't really blame you for wanting to, since most people hate their names, but Mike isn't that bad.

I like it though.

The origins alone of the name piss me off deeply.

Jamie Corbin..doesn't it sound cute? I'll eventually be changing mine to Eris. Sonner or later I'll be Eris Corbin.

For those of you who don't know. Michael is supposedly the left hand of God. Gabriel would be the right.

Well it's your choice ... just don't go crazy with choosing a name. I could never change my last name or even first name, its something I've grown up with that people know me as, that I know myself as, i don't know it would be like I was a completely different person, I would hate it

But your reason for changing your last name I understand.

It's okay Elara. I'm okay with people knowing. *shouts at the top of her lungs* I LOVE JAMIE CORBIN!!! *looks around* Was that too much?

Anywho, in response to what Deese said, changing your name in our case wouldn't be changing who we are it's more like becoming the person we are deep down inside. I'm not sure if that makes sense.

Aww, this was a pleasent thing to wake up to find.

I know most people will not be able to wrap their head around a full name change. But not only do I want to cut all ties from my family, I feel as if my name is a legacy to a person I longer am.
