More name stuff.

A friend elsewhere reminded me many boomers and early GenX folk don't use their birth names - they go by nicknames that may be nothing to do with their actual birth certificate name.

I realised of my immediate family, mum, her brothers, dad, his brother & wife - and all their *kids* - none of them use their biological name. three quarters use entirely different names. the rest use similarish nicks.

It's just me. only me, who uses the name on my birth certificate.

Holy wow.
