Using different names in legal documents

[Captain Planet]

A friend of mine who's Ghanaian uses the British translation of his name for his job in the city, he showed me his job card and everything, considering his bank account is a diff name and he still get paid no problem is that legal?

Also is it possible to use your mothers maiden name in place of your current surname without a legal name change?

Just queries no legal misdemeanor are afoot

Just trying to increase my job prospects

[Skola]

no idea but lol at the adverts under your post being "legal uk deed poll £5.99 - uk immigration advice - change your name - legal malpractice experts"

So you want extremely thin phones, and now asking about name changes on legal docs.

at work you can be called whatever you want, as long as the employers have got a record of your legit name on your passport or whatever.

Know 1 guy whos work id says TImmy and is on his letters and sh*t but his legit name is one of those oluwatimiosin alphabet names.

[Captain Planet]

Hmm

So I couldn't apply for a job using an "altered" name, get the job and then show them my real surname in all of its AFF glory

[Guest M12 Part 2]

[Heero Yuy]

Your guy should be fine

My bank account is my actual birth name

and everything else except my driving license is in my forename (which is the name most people know me by and which pretty much everything else is in). When i've had cheques to cash there normally in my forename and they go through no problems.

[Captain Planet]

You know you can simply take the meaning a surname and find the British equivalent though, dunno why ppl are acting like its difficult

[Wavant]

i dont like it still. but lets admit that some names will jus be a piss take to pronounce.

however, the first man to be PAID over $1m in america did so because he good with people, and made extra effort to learn and pronounce names. ttkk

[Dubby]

After about 4 years of people knowing him as "Olufemi" one breddah in my secondary school decided his name was "Prosperity" dunno how/why that happened but yeah.

[Trilliam]

That was the english translation, bit feminine though. My favourite one is 'Goodness'.
