Why do we have this idea that what 1-2 idiots named a baby is what they have to be called the rest of their lives?

"My name is Dave". Problem solved.

The Motel doesnt have a problem with it, why would you?

Other notable pop references, if dated AF, a boy named Sue.

My recent favorite of a real person (I check birth certs and passports at work) was first name Independence, middle name Infinity Excellence. Im gonna change the last name, but it was akin to Smith.

I thought about changing my name, but never did it. Mine isn't even one of those horrible names, so I'm wondering the mindset of the kids who do grow up with the ridiculous ones. Do they double down and rabidly attack anyone who suggests they change it, or secretly hate it so much that they refuse to acknowledge they ever had it after they change it, so that to us it seems like there aren't many people out there that have changed their name from the fart-sniffing parents' choice? I only say this, because I think somewhere like new zealand publishes the list of names they reject, and there are some doozies on it.

Your name should at least be an actual name considering that I presume you're German. The authorities are rather strict here
