Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
Am I the only member of humanity who doesn't think Jeri Ryan is attractive?
I have no idea who she is. This is what comes from not having cable. Off to Google.
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.
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.
Dude, Tep -- Seven of Nine?
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?
I've just been using the non-birth cert name since I was little, and by now it's on everything including my SS card and passport, so I figure I don't have to do anything more. But that's been really consistent since I was a kid.

I FORGOT ABOUT THAT! OMG.
