[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Np the people who have done this successfully have done it at two points- between hs and college or between college and their first job. It’s really hard for people to change what they call you. I had a coworker who decided to change his name and it was just hard and confusing.

That being said- I hate my name. I wish it had even the tiniest nickname potential but it doesn’t. I’ve always dreamed of using my middle name. I named one of my daughters my middle name and it makes me happy to say her name daily.

If you hate your name, just change it. [/quote]

+1 I agree with this.

I made a similar but not quite first/middle transition.  I have a well-known long name and went by a well-known nickname as a child.  After college i switched to a different nn that I like better.  Example: Elizabeth and switched from Beth to Libby.

I tried to do this in college but there were 2 kids from my high school there and my childhood name was surprisingly sticky. Moved to DC for a job and just introduced myself as the new nickname.
