Has anyone here added their confirmation saint to their middle names?

    • I am considering adding "Vianney" after the middle name given to me by my parents. Has anyone here done anything similar? When signing legal docuмents would you have to use two letters as initials?

    • When signing legal docuмents you shoud only use your name given at birth. Otherwise you would void the docuмent.

    Your Confirmation name is not your legal name, unless you have your name changed by deep poll.

    I meant initials if you add it legally

    I've never legally changed my name, but I often sign docuмents with what is technically a nickname. In the US, as long as you use a name that you are commonly identified by, anything that you sign is still legal and binding. For example, John Wayne could sign "John Wayne" even though his legal name was Marion Robert Morrison.
    Cryptinox J.V. "X" does have a nice ring to it though. :cowboy:

    If I did it, it would be "David Vianney x"

    I don't use my confirmation name for legal docuмents but I do use it sometimes when signing personal letters. :cowboy:

    Yeah, I have read that a signature is simply something to identify that you have consented to a contract, it does not have to be your legal name. But, a contract can require that you sign with a signature that you have already used before.  I saw a funny story about a man who drew three cat heads for his driver's license signature. He had to sign all his mortgage docuмents with the same signature

    • WorldsAway ... that Driver's License seems to indicate being listed as an organ donor.

    I would seriously reconsider that, as many/most forms of organ donation are gravely immoral, not to mention that medical institutions tend to declare you dead prematurely (sometimes using the bogus "brain death" criterion) in order to harvest your organs if they find out that you're a donor.

    Upvoted for the good advice. Fortunately, my mother made me well aware of the dangers of being an organ donor when I got my license. Those pictures are from the story I was relating. Some other poor sap's, not mine
