Mijn achternaam niet, mijn voornaam (roepnaam) wel. Ik noem mezelf al jaren Dana. Mijn moeder, mijn broers en mijn schoonzusters noemen me nog altijd bij mijn eigenlijke roepnaam. Mijn overige familie noemt me wel Dana, net als iedereen in mijn omgeving. Mijn doopnaam hou ik wel trouw aan. Ik voel mezelf Dana.
No, I am happy with the name given to me by my parents. If I had been a boy, they would have named me Rogier, referring to Rogier van Otterloo, which they were a big fan of. And me, too, by the way.
You can always take a profile name and hop through life virtually.
As a teenager, my girlfriend and I sometimes made boys believe that we had a different name, though.
Although I don't like my name at all, I know for sure that there are worse and you're used to it, I think it's beneficial in a legal, parenting or custody case in short
