Why not legally change your name and get rid of this problem for good?
- viraptor 8y agoChanging your name is a hassle and you're stuck with an extra document you have to keep around and copy every time you do anything important like open an account or buy a property.
- chipotle_coyote 8y agoBecause I don't feel like this should actually be that difficult for businesses that aren't the TSA to handle. If your legal name is "Foo Bar Baz" and you prefer to be called "F. Bar Baz" rather than "Foo B. Baz," I don't see why anyone should be throwing up their hands and going, "Woah! That's crazy!"
- dragonwriter 8y agoBecause legal name changes are a non-free in both upfront and downstream costs, and not something a customer should have to bear because a business is either to ignorant or too unconcerned with customer experience to accommodate different preferred vs. legal names, and to use the right one for the right purpose.
