Can i change my name in real life to Princess Sunita?

Question

would people take me seriously? I graduated from Columbia and I am now in med-school. I think it's a cute name i just don't want to be seen as immature, however, I do feel like it's fun...

haha am i crazy?

Answer 1

you could, but i think people might judge you harshly for having "princess" in your name. maybe just stick to sunita?

Answer 2

Oh sure, I would totally go to Dr. Princess Sunita. Yes you are crazy, or a teenager with way too much free time.

Answer 3

Your instinct is right:  as a doctor or any other professional, you would NOT be taken seriously if your name were changed.

It might sound like "fun", but "fun" isn't at all what I want in a doctor. I would seriously argue against any doctor who treats me and has such a "fun" name.  Not only would I ban you from seeing me -- even in a hospital ER with you on call -- I'd push to have you removed from the employ of the place.  Any company that would hire you will take that into consideration, and -- very likely -- you will never work professionally if you change your name, unless you want a career in music, movies, or street corners.

Answer 4

lol people will not take you seriously

however, i do appreciate you trying to put a little humor into an overly serious world.

Answer 5

Yes you're crazy.  I would not go see a doctor with that name.  If anything, you should be changing your name to sound sophisticated.  You'll be a doctor not an actress or stripper.

Answer 6

If you like it go for it! it is fun and cute!

If it has a bad response just change it back and pretend it was a joke!

Answer 7

Noone, and I mean noone will ever take you seriously. Lol

Answer 8

Yes, you are crazy Im' not takin ya seriously!

Answer 9

If it helps, you haven't changed your name yet and I still don't take you seriously.

Answer 10

Stick to Dr. Sunita :)

Answer 11

Yes, you are crazy, I would not go see a doctor that is called Princess.  

But, there has been stranger names you would not be alone.  Just don't use Princess Consula Banana Hammock.  It is already taken.

Answer 12

You can, legally, change your name to 'Princess Sunita'.

I would not, personally, recommend changing your name to something so frivolous.

Answer 13

legally, yes, you can change it to anything you want. i think it does not sound very professional. it is very ostentatious.
