It’s just because I like the way my middle name sounds together with my last name. My full name is Jeffrey Neil Crockett, but I’ve always thought that Neil Jeffrey Crockett sounded better. I was always way too lazy to do anything about it, though. Is it worth doing anything like, legally speaking, or should I just get people to call me Neil?
This is smart. My partner has changed their name three times in three states due to two marriages. They’ve had to substantiate the entire paper trail each time they’ve done anything relating to official identification, security clearance, or background checks. It’s an additional layer of complexity that can and has caused additional complications.
yeah, honestly i just got too stoned and was like “I LIKE NEIL BETTER THAN JEFF!”
but seriously i’ll just go by jeff unless i’m introducing myself to someone new,then i’m neil
i’ve introduced myself as neil to someone onlinkedin
