The rename plague
I found the form to start the legal rename process.
The part that's giving me trouble is the last name.
My name is Azure Jane Lunatic.
"Lunatic" is not the sort of last name that is great for a job application or a driver's license.
All the other last names I try on have felt wrong. The worst ones are the ones that are closest to right. They look almost right but when I try them on and imagine my manager using it, or with an honorific, it's suddenly like wearing a high collared raincoat a size too small at 80°F with 80% humidity, and I can't breathe anymore.
Lunatic.
I don't want to do this twice.
