Right, call me crazy, but I'm thinking of changing my name to Harry by deed poll. Some of you may be surprised to hear that Harry is my nickname and not my real name.
I'd really like to be officially Harry from now on and it would be especially great to have this done in time for the wedding.
But I need a middle name, any suggestions?

Alternatively, celebrate your leprechaun roots. We've got a couple of Irish friend who have called their boys Fiachra and Oisin.
I guess the veto of Cantona also means Eric is out - H.E.N would have been entertaining.
You should probably try to avoid a name beginning with U.
You could also go for just an initial. Harry Truman had a middle initial (S) that didn't stand for anything.
President Grant supposedly had a bare initial too, until he got to West Point (our Sandhurst) where they told him there was no such thing, and that his S was now short for Simpson.
(Wanna be Harry Bart?)
As long as you are not changing your name for fraudulent reasons you can change it when you fancy.
Why do you want a middle name? You'll never use it anyway!
Or you could use your current real first name as your new middle name.
Maybe I should just not have a middle name.
When my boyfriend saw how easy it was for me to change my name, he decided he wanted to change his to Wolf Lightning-Blast. Which of course I have vetoed.
If I was a lass, I'd change my name to Hepzibah Grandloom. That would be awesome.
What about setting up a vote Harry?
Is there a limit to how often you can change your name? If it really is simple, try doing it every few weeks. We could take it in turns to come up with the next name. It would be great fun with banks, doctor's receptionists, etc...
