Much rumors about India's imminent name change. Why is India planning to change its name, creating a rift between geography and politics?
For the lovers of language and culture, for those enamored with matters Indian, for the students reading Sanskrit and Pali with me, ..., this small note on sense and nonsense of dropping India in favor of Bhārat.

Government functionaries, however, say since the Constitution already has the name Bharat in Article 1, such usage would not need constitutional amendments

Me: My name is [given name] but please call me Indigo.
Car salesman: [calls me Indigo every chance he gets]
People I have to work with: [given name over and over despite me reminding them]
if I have to start the #legal #namechange process again from the top, i will.

Your educational certificates are the final documents you are given once you have finished your schooling. Before you begin the process of changing name in educational certificate, ask your school or institution if there are any unique protocols they follow (https://www.edrafter.in/change-name-in-educational-certificates/ ). #namechange #namechangecertificate #educationalcertificate

Me Then: I don't care what pronouns people use for me.
Me Now: They/them or nothing!

Me Recently: I don't want to change my name. I'm used to it. All my accounts are in this name. I regretted it when I changed my name in my first marriage.
Me Later: ???

I'm very curious to see what Me Later will have to say. I suspect there might be a change. But I'm not sure.

#AGender #Trans #NameChange

Nowadays' youth seek to rename themselves to fit in. For a very long time, society has broken with the practise of changing names. Although there are many reasons for name changes, style never goes out of style (https://www.edrafter.in/reason-for-name-change-in-india/) #namechangereason #namechange

I've finally got my first piece of official ID in my new name. (It only took two attempts: turns out they hadn't heard of Neil Gaiman and thought my middle-name should be Caroline.)
#trans #NameChange

I wish I could just mark my [oldname] (it's still okay in my case, so I don't call it oldname instead of deadname) as "deprecated" like in programming. So whenever people use it, it still works fine, but they get a message telling them that it is being phased out and the should use [newname] instead.

@justloyld also don't forget that the transaction will show up on my credit card statement as REDACTED Govt 2 😂😂😂 #transgirl #transgender #namechange

When I was changing my name it was such a stressful process but you gotta admit it's a bit funny that there was a "continue shopping" button. #transgirl #transgender #namechange

If these conservatives really cared about trans people they'd make legally changing your gender marker and name as easy as possible. #politics #transgender #namechange

I still don’t understand TikTok but I’ve just made another one. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMY63S4ch/ #trans #namechange #deedpoll

My son got his name changed this morning. Today was the judge’s last day; he’s retiring. Glad to have gotten the application in on time.

I’m so ecstatic for him 🎉🏳️‍⚧️💙💖🤍💖💙

Seen a trend off late especially with these jobsites & how they change their brand names of what may be a strategy so as to reconnect, re-appeal & restart.

That's such a long haul.

What's the thinking behind it, I wonder⁉️

If anything, that'd be the toughest longest path anyone could take.

It'd rather be simpler to focus on building product teams, realign, get to think in the direction of problems to solve for the users.

MY NAME is WEDNESDAY.

my NAME is powerful and it is full of meaning.

When a listener hears my name I want them to draw to mind the disabled God of Wisdom, and Magic, and Maddness, and Poets, and Rulers, and Outcasts.

ÓÐINN

also known as Wotan, Woden, and more anciently Wōdanaz

Wōdanaz's Day

wednesday

that's me 💜

Tell me YOUR name. LOUD and proud.
