Re: Foreign sounding names
A man I work with did that about 20 years ago. His real name is Roy but he decided to become Rory so he just told everyone that was his new name. Even his wife calls him Rory now.

Re: Foreign sounding names
I knew someone who everyone knew as Jon but he was actually named John on his birth certificate. He just didn't like the 'h' so abandoned it.

Re: Foreign sounding names
I seem to recall that the people who own Valhalla jewellers in B'burn changed their names some years ago to Lord Odin and Lady Goldenberry. He was listed in the phone book as Odin, Lord
