I don't care so much about going by gte910h, I care that there aren't exceptions. People put your information on social networks without your consent. If you're a battered ex-wife for instance, you have to participate to make sure your location isn't being giving way unawares (pictures with you in them with Exif data, "harmless" photo album tagging, etc). Additionally, anonymity is important to many people in disliked groups (homosexuals, political dissidents), but the common law right (and it very much is a Right to change your name) to go by whatever name you want is very hard to exercise while under the purvey of your family. Many people are very much under the purvey of their family while in college. So while you're of the age to be of formative years in the social networks, where you make contacts that help the start of your career, you literally have to piss off the family which is ostensibly offering some support and formally change your name from a non-European name to a European name if you want the best success when searching for a job (where it's shown non-european sounding names who are otherwise identical get fewer callbacks). |
