I dropped my first and second European name..I wanted to drop the surname too..but It would have meant changing the children's name too and forcing my then Wife to change hers as well..

Ethically I didn't think it was right to force my choices upon my children...and naturally I couldn't force my then wife to change her surname...So i left that bit alone... Now I do realise that there are contradictions either way..I just choose to not to impose my choice on them..for me this was a personal decision...

I did mine legally...in fact if memory serves Omerwale from Galaxy gave me a legal format which i copied and then got a Solicitor to noterise boy I can tell you he was pissed ..normally they charge something like £100...and I got off with £5..man was curt like hell...lol

My passport, bank detail and all other important documents are now in my RIGHTFUL name..and for me it felt bloody good..although my slave name wasn't bad...I hated it with a passion alway have even as a child...

African heart, African mind
