When I was a child I used to ask my mother what her name was when she was a child too. I just couldn't imagine/believe someone would have that/her name as and be 10 years old at the same time.
I don't really like my name and I think adults should be able to choose their names without big hassle. Not choosing where you're born is already too much of a control-giveup haha
- DiggyJohnson 5y agoThis just seems like we’d be fixing a cultural issue with a band aid solution. The reason changing a name is difficult shouldn’t be the bureaucracy, but the fact that you exist in an interpersonal network of individuals indexed by name. > I think adults should’ve able to choose their name without a big hassle So my question for you would be: what hassle are you referring to? The cultural norm or the bureaucracy/paperwork? In either case, what would a solution look like?
