Before my next semester I think I'll have my name changed in my school records to be "Cougar Jackson"
I prefer going by Cougar as my first name online so I figure instead of having two names I should just let my cooler name win out, but at the same time keep the whole "Jackson" name open for use :p
Opinions?
BTW: Cougar is my legal middle name!

whats your real first name though?
i've thought of changing my first name to Xiion, but i figure that the middle name would be best.

I think changing any part of your name to "Xiion" is retarded.

That's your opinion, and i respect that, but shouldn't it be the person who wants its responsibility?

Not if others will ridicule you because you changed your name to what you go by on the internet.

Changing a name in school is something I see as pointless. The only thing I've seen come out of such an act is students' ridicule and teachers' disrespect.

I think changing your name just because it's what people call you is kinda...well, for lack of a better word really, stupid. If you want people to call you that, they'll just call you that...introduce yourself and say "but I go by whatever". There's no point in changing what goes on records you'll never see or being able to write your new name on a piece of paper...woo?

If they call you that on a daily basis, whats the point in changing your name? Whether your name is Xiion or (insert your first name here or not) they will still be calling you Xiion. Well, the ones who call you that on a daily basis anyways.

Gwar, Gametag stole my post. -_-

Honestly Jackson, it doesn't matter on our opinions, because its a personal thing. Its YOUR name so it shouldn't matter what we think, but what you want. I think you should do whatever you want.

I feel changing your real name to an internet name is stupid... Unless its a realistic name.
Xiion doesn't work in my opinion. But then again you're what? 12? So it doesn't matter.
In elementary its all small really. But in college or highschool I would feel like the biggest faggot being called by an internet name.
I wouldn't do it.

I am in the process of renaming myself Lando Griffin. It's like a rebirth of myself.

I could've sworn you were a kid... <_<
Thinking of name changing brings me back to that one Captain Underpants book from years ago...
Cougar, I don't know about that as a first name...
Your choice.

Just a little bit to add. Just saying, but changing Cougar to your first name would lead to unrelenting Cat and pussy jokes.

it's pronounced Ex-See-On, btw.

And I agree with Cuda.

Hummm...
This thread made Cougar smile, lawl.
Xiion, I know you didn't try to but you've become an attention whore in my thread...
As for me changing my name; I'll probably never get around to getting it "official". I just have been trying to change some stuff about myself and I really like the name Cougar as a nickname/main name. As for the jokes? Who cares; only people who don;t like me would joke about my name since most have my current friends no I like the name.
Btw: I pronounce Xiion: "Ex-Ze-On"
