Name Change?!

[Vigilante]

Has anyone here changed their name before or wants to?

Do you find it as a bad thing, like, disgraceful towards the Armenian race when you change your name?

I americanized mine....sorta. Or made it more biblical.

My name was Movses.

Now its Moses.

Thoughts?

Each individuals name is unique, why change it, it's who you are.

My legal name is 'Moses' but regardless I use 'Movses' for papers, documents, introductions.

Re: Name Change?!

my father's name is Leon, but Armenians always called him Levon. He had a Swiss uncle (from his father's side) that would get upset whenever my Grandma called him Levon :P

Anyway, my name is Jeffrey, it is not Armenian. I think I'd change it to it's shorter form of Jeff because I have the habit of signing with the shorthand version of my name.

Re: Name Change?!

If anything I would change/Armenize my name. I know the Armenized version of my name is "Dimoteos/Timoteos" (Տիմոթէոս), but I'm not sure if any Armenian has ever taken this name. I'm getting baptized in the Armenian Church on the 14th so if they let/ask me to take a baptismal name maybe I'll start going by that.
