MK sounds like an awesome kitty.
It makes me wonder if I should change it legally (not for google+ purposes, but just for ease)
I've been meaning to change my name legally to the name I've been using for 25 years, but I don't really know how to go about it and I have been lazy. I'd just be switching my first and middle names; it doesn't seem like it should be a big deal.
I'm imagining what Google would have made of my grandfather. His legal name, the one on his birth certificate, was E. P. Haley. His real name, that the attending doctor couldn't spell and so abbreviated, was Epaphroditas. And everyone called him Pete.
Am I the only member of humanity who doesn't think Jeri Ryan is attractive? She's apparently a wonderful person, but in my humble opinion has not a single attractive feature (okay, her legs). Whenever I hear folks talking about how gorgeous and sexy she is, I experience unreconcilable cognitive dissonance.
As far as I know, my legal name is not what's on my birth certificate at this point.
Yeah, my great-grandma was Recha, but started calling herself Susan as soon as she landed in the US -- neither I nor my dad knew any better until she moved into the nursing home (which in her generation was still a mostly Yiddish-speaking environment; people there could pronounce the R and the CH) and decided to take her original name back.
Name = what they call you. Wallet Name = someone's bureaucratic convenience, but may or may not correspond to anything else.

I have no idea who she is. This is what comes from not having cable. Off to Google.

I find her hot in a borderline masculine way. So I'm no help.
Dude, Tep -- Seven of Nine?
In the South, tons of men (including my grandfather) go by their middle names. And as I've shared before, my grandmother was called "Pie" since childhood by everyone - friends, family, husband. It was nowhere on her birth certificate. And I was wicked pissed when the minister giving her eulogy didn't even mention that she was called Pie and only used her given name.

Didn't watch it. There are wide holes in my geekitude.
Also, having googled, she has a lot of teeth. Like, more than Julia Roberts.
Zen, in NYS all I apparently have to do is fill out a form, provide them with my certified birth certificate (which I do not have, so might have trouble getting. I have a certificate of Live Birth, like Obama) and pay $330. THey basically say that if you have no criminal record and do not intend criminal activity, they just change it. Do not know if it is the same where you are.

You know, indirectly caused the election of our first black president?
