Can't they just, adopt the correct version of their name?

I have a friend with a very arcaic name and most people don't know what we call him is not his real name.

People don't realize that this has always been the case. I learned my wife's grandpa's real name at his funeral.

My grandpa had the middle name Adolph, named after his father's first name. They both changed their names to Allen in America. 😂 And no, they weren't fond of Nazis.

The Thurman is easy to shorten, at least nowadays. Just add a thick drawl to the 'Thur' and say, "but everybody calls me Thor," and roll your eyes a bit. They'll laugh, tease you about it a bit because you got named after a comic book character, and then you won't be known as Thurman.

spoilerI'm well aware that Thor did not originate in comic books. Thank you for reading my TED Sp(ew)Ed.

I knew a Thor in highschool. I think his name was actually Anthor? I could be wrong. Knew his brother also, named Mordecai. They had a lot more sibling I never learned their names. They were an...interesting family.

Thursday is Thor's Day. Just say your name is Thur and a day of the week is named after you.

Yes I'm sure those aren't at all made up.

I work with a Furman, like not even a furry. (As far as I know.)

Maybe you could shorten Thurman to Thurry?

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

I’m getting an image of cold tomato soup with hair in it.

Is your name Thurman?... Thurman Merman?... Jesus.

That is how you spell pheonix and I don't care what the Oxford English dictionary or anyone else says.
