Would you deny them friendship if they were a good person?
I can see you questioning their priorities with a name like that, that much I can understand. But everyone has some sort of reason for doing what they do, and the very least others can do is be tolerant of their decisions as long as it doesn't hurt others. :]

(I sortta see it as his 1st name would be Boomer, middle the, and the last dog. I don't find it all that bad. :P)

Name is something that identifies you and it's best when it's sounding is associated with the actual state. Take that into account and Boomer The Dog, furry is far better than John Smith, office clerk. Not only unique but also more accurate. And may be more pleasant for the owner.

There have been many times where I briefly thought about changing my name to Lita, simply because I have grown so used to the name. However, I am quite happy with my current name. It's unique (in spelling, anyway), and, well, it's me.

I'm leaving Lita as just a nickname, not a real one.

I'm going to be honest, when I read the topic's title I was like "Wait, what?" But after reading the OP, I can safely say that... now, I'm still like "Wait, what?" I've never actually thought of renaming myself to Benny, despite the fact that I REALLY hate my current name. Benny is a character I hold dearly, but I wouldn't actually want to become him.

We fight, we recruit, we are the anthropomorphic army. FDF forever!

I was thinking of using Drake as a pen name if I ever get into writing. for some reason it feels better than my *shudders* real name. and those of you who know me by my real name would understand why..

I don't have to change my name. My fursona's name is my real name (Vee is a nickname for my first name). I love my name and the only time it will change is when I get married.

funny i didnt think this would make people think this much.
tbh as long as its not a silly name like punk rock dog and its
an actual name like jesse it shouldnt be a problem.

I, personally, love my legal name.  "Nateal."  My mother still chose the name for a home-ec project in high school, and it stuck with her.  Considering my sisters all have more mundane names, I count myself lucky that I have a unique name that has become a reflection of my non-traditional personality and life.

Would I ever change my name to something else legally?  No.  The hassle is honestly not that big of a deal.  When I got married, I legally changed my last name to my husband's, as tradition warrants.  (Don't get me wrong, I was very excited to change my name.  Though, for a long time, I thought I would always keep my last name as there were no male children to carry the name on, but a couple of years ago, one of my cousins had a male baby, so our family name will live on without my children. XD)  So the "hassle" doesn't deter me.  Some paperwork isn't a big deal for that kind of thing.

But even though I've been going by Kalylia online for a few years now and I have an entire group of friends who calls me that and variations of that, I wouldn't change my name legally.  Nateal is a reflection of who I am, and I wouldn't want to change that.

Hmmm... I wonder if there's a required minimum of three characters like in 90% of websites. I doubt they'd accept B. Other then that, I couldn't change my last name. I'm far too proud of my heritage... even if my family crest is a lobster. No really, my family was part of the Warnia clan. Just look

Now wonder you're proud, it is awesome.

Anyhow, there are people with single letter names, so you'd have to use a nickname on websites, otherwise it's legally OK I guess.
