Gregory's Server@Edent It’s an interesting area. Even in the U.K. you can change your namely freely as many times if you like and without anything other than a signed statutory declaration of your new name. The power to change your name is an important right imho

 @jack @JamesBaker @Edent Yep, the UK has no real concept of a ‘legal name’ in the same way as the US does. Names are just whatever you can convince people to call you. |
@JamesBaker @Edent And you don't, strictly, even need to do the declaration (although some people/organisations won't accept your name unless you do).
AFAIK the only true prohibition on simply using a name is if it's done with the intention to defraud.
