If you could change your surname to anything without any obligations you may currently have, what would it be?

(Name change would be purely for marking your legendary lineage)

Id change it to Raskolnikov, but thats becausr im an ignorant slut

Why would you want to change your surname? It would take a really long time and a ridiculous explanations to get all your friends and family (most of which would probably be insulted, or think it's 'just a phase') to refer to you by the name you've chosen. On top of that you would have to do a lot of paper work to legally change it. A lot of work for something that won't change anything at all and still result in you being the same miserable cunt you have been.

What part of "without any obligations" from OP's post did you not get?

>> No.4669721

>>4669697
The part where it makes any fucking sense, or maybe the part where it makes the question not an asinine rephrasing of 'what's your favourite name'. Hypothetical questions like this are completely pointless masturbation; there is not case in which one can live enough to have a developed opinion, and a preferred name, while having no obligations or attachments to anything. Also, as another poster mentioned, it has nothing to do with literature, this thread belongs on /b/. The only reason it's not is because OP wanted to name-drop Raskolnikov.

I've never understood why some people can't understand or ignore hypotheticals, but there must be some reason.

>>4669745
Hypotheticals are all well and good, but they need to be grounded in something. This question, as I've stated earlier, is no different from asking what your favourite name is. The hypothetical serves no point, and only detaches the question from reality.

Your friends and family regularly call you by your last name?

>> No.4669788

>>4669760
Even if the question is what your favorite name is, what does that have to do with explaining to your friends and family about the name change, or the paperwork involved? You can think the question stupid or simple, but to add banal complexity to it and further divorce it from reality is simply hypocritical.

Not that guy, but my close friends and some of my cousins call me by my surname, but it's a reasonably uncommon one.

I'm okay with my surname, except it begins with a C that makes an S sound, so I have to spell it out loud all the damn time.
