I've been trying to figure out how to put this in a poll, but it's too difficult with a single question.

How much did you / will you change your name?
For each of your three (or more) names enter a digit:

0	Same name
1	Gender altered name
2	Different name but same initial letter
3	Totally different name

If you didn't change your name, you'd be a 000, if everything changed a 333.

id be a 333. although.  i was thinking that the fem version of my first name would make a neat middle name.

OK...I'm a 333...although Saint-Pierre is an old family name from just 2 generations back...Isabelle was the name of my favorite aunt when I was growing up...and my middle name Jacqueline because I just liked the way it flowed and fit with the names...

There you have it...a complete remake of my name...while still keeping most of it in the family...

Peace and love,
Isabelle St-Pierre

00
or
33

I go through lots of names, I don't mind my real name. Adam is supposed to be the original androgyne anyway.

1 2 0

I like my names and they are musical.  The number of syllables per word is the same as the original.  It makes it easier on all concerned if my name stays somewhat close to the original.  Yes, I really did plan it that way.

Okay, may be I'm a little anal about some things!   

Hey...it's my opportunity to remake myself into the person I want to be...why not pick the name that I want???

Peace and love,
Isabelle St-Pierre

230 for me.

I thought that I would be getting a lecture about the evils of disowning your family.

I got that lecture from some people I deeply respect, and decided to keep the last name - at least for now. Should my marriage ever break up though, I may change it.

My name went completely.

First , Middle and Surname.

Rebecca

i havent chosen a last name because someday i would like to "take" a last name and i sure wouldnt want to stay my maiden name

33

Im not keeping a middle name, I couldnt figure one out and really dont see the necesity...

My name is ******* Ambrosine
It was >*****> <George> <****> <JR...>  ICK!!!

Well, my answer is sort of 301 because I'm going to use my current first name as my new last name and I'm going to move my current last name to my middle name.

Without disclosing anything real, let's say my name is Tyler Lee and I've published articles as such.  My new name will be Joyce Lee Tyler, which keeps the parts I like, feminizes the name, and hopefully keeps my old articles somewhat paired with my newly authored articles. 

I am not 100% on this, because the other option is Joyce Tyler Lee, leaving my old full name as my middle/last combination.  At the moment, the former option is running a 3-to-1 favorite.

333.  I know of no feminization for my first name and I don't like any of the feminizations for my middle name.  As for my last name, that's a story.  My wife kept her maiden name when we married and now desires to distance herself from (okay, break from) her dad's side of the family.  So when we were looking at names for me we also looked at names for her, including a new last name we could both take.

Val.

000 for me, my name isn't gender specific anyways

333. I had decided at an early age that I would change my name completely.

30

I never had a middle name.

My original first name was "gender neutral" but it had a lot of history and pain behind it so i wanted to distance myself from it. 

333, first, middle and sur name!

I would probably choose 320.
Lately I have been toying around with names for preparations and I thought about Erin or Eryn as the first name, I haven't thought much on the second name, but I am pretty sure I am keeping my last name.

333

i want no similarities to my male identity, so i went with katheryn.  i havent picked out a last name yet though...

330

I have no problem with my last name, or being connected by family with the person I used to be. The first name, Annie, was a long ago (1840s) family member who died before she was 2 years old. My name is actually Ann; my middle name, Elizabeth, was chosen so as to make my first Name and middle initial Ann E., therefore Annie. I go by Annie.

PS... "Social" isn't really my last name. 

220 for me.

Keeping my initials the same made things a lot easier when I went through the change process.  I kept my last name.  It's perfectly serviceable and not too hard to spell at the same time as being slightly uncommon, which I like.  And my side of the family, so far anyway, accept me.
