I was corrected for saying “real name” when I meant “legal name.” So, a reminder:
Your LEGAL name is a name that identifies you for official purposes.
Your REAL name is the name by which a practitioner of the occult arts could conjure you in a summoning circle and bind you to complete a task.

Complex names are easy: Just add an i, as in Patricki.

Oh no, here I am making it all complex.

in reply to Max Leibman • • •I don't want to quibble too hard here, since the thrust of your post is spot-on. That said, in the US, the idea that people have a "legal" name is simply nonsense. Whatever names you use are your "legal" names, by right.
It is not clear to me how having multiple monikers might affect your susceptibility to magic users, please check in with your shaman or priest. But I do know of a helpful paper exploring the legal side of things: hrlr.law.columbia.edu/hrlr/the…

in the graffiti world, there is absolutely an illegal name.
and the best part is you can just pick it yourself.
[graffiti] writers refer to the official one as a person's "government name"
plenty of illegal names are available 😂

There are many jurisdictions.
Your challenge: re-formulate your post to reflect the legal position in each jurisdiction.

(Not real name, but descriptively accurate, and not illegal either. At least, in this jurisdiction...)

Don't know. Either way, whatever law applies there will be set by a planet-based jurisdiction, or agreement between jurisdictions. But it may give @maxleibman some interesting issues should he accept my proposed challenge...
