basically, up until eleventh grade i had little to no idea what i wanted to do with my life. college wasn't seeming like anything that was going to happen, and even high school wasn't certain to be finished. i only sort of recognized it at the time, but the truth was that i had no direction, goals or real future ahead of me at all.
then, to fulfill a community service requirement for the high school program i was in, i volunteered as a cabin leader at an outdoor school. all the volunteers took on "nature names" so i picked Cometboy, after a writer named Aaron Cometbus. while volunteering at the outdoor school i found out how strongly i feel about environmentalist issues, and i also realized that i very much enjoy working with kids. this job incorporated both of these, and i was instantly enamored with it. i worked at the organization's summer camp that summer, and was a cabin leader again the following year. after that the amount of time i spent there grew more and more as i came back every opportunity i could. the more i was there the more i realized what it was that i wanted to do with my life: teach children and adults about environmental responsibility. for the first time in my life i had a future, so to speak.
i eventually became an intern at the school, amassed 2,600 hours of community service there (roughly three solid months) and met nearly all the friends and mentors i have still kept in touch with despite moving away. they all know me as Comet, and i know all of them by their nature names (Tundra, Avocado, Raven, etc.) i even met my girlfriend there, and we have been dating for a year and a half as of last week. her entire family calls me Comet, so much so that her Grandmother only found out my real name about a month ago. pretty much all of the people i love who i am not related to either met me at camp or through somebody else who did. Comet more or less took over as my name, which i was totally fine with. i'm constantly reminded of all the leadership and role modelling skills i learned at camp whenever i go by my camp name, and though i know it sounds cheesy, the person i became through volunteering is more or less the person i want to be for the rest of my life.
i have no real problem with Alex, but he didn't really accomplish much, to be honest. all the things i am proud of were done by Comet, and the seeds of everything i want to be were planted by Comet. i just want my volunteering experience to never leave me.
now, having said that, i understand that to an outsider it may just seem like i made some ridiculous decision to name myself some ridiculous name for attention, and that this choice will probably get me a lot of crap from people. while it may make some things better for me, it may also make some things worse, particularly in situations where i need a total stranger to take me seriously on paper. for this reason, i'm thinking more and more that it may be a good idea to only add it as a middle name and not as a first name. this way i can maintain a facade of normalcy if needed, but i will have an easier time being able to justify going by Comet in general daily life.
any advice, suggestions, support or further beratement would be appreciated.

Better, but it's not something I'd ever call attention to, were I you. You might want to consider another way of paying tribute to the experience, one which is something a bit less... broadcasted. From the sound of things, it's for deeply personal reasons in the first place... so a deeply personal gesture is likely to be more appropriate.

I think the idea of remaking yourself is pretty interesting. I do wonder about your need to rename yourself though; you already are the assimilation of all your experiences. "What's in a name?"
Comet reminds me most of toilet scrub, more than anything.

Hey, I knew a guy named Danger. His parents named him that. He was a really cool guy.
If I met you in real life, I might scoff at the name, but who cares? It's not insanely rediculous like the kid who called himself Trout Fishing In America, or the people changing their names to somethingorother.com. Do what makes you feel good.
On the other hand, it doesn't have to be legal to be your name. You can always introduce yourself as Comet and keep the paperwork under your birth name.

A nickname is one thing. Accepting it as your legal name is another. You have to bear in mind that you're going to be dealing with other people... and if any of these dealings are going to be in the professional world, then you're going to run into some trouble.

This is what people are meant to do. Define themselves and make strong choices. Be the person they see in their head as the best possible person they can be. You sound like a strong person who has made those decisions. If this name represents the strength and authority of those decisions in your mind, how can anyone deny you the chance to be that person in a way you feel comfortable. I hope you are able to tell little people with problems about it to go launch themselves.

Don't worry about all the legal crap. Just keep using it as a nickname. Don't even mess with the identity crisis thing. Just introduce yourself to people as "Comet" and let 'em find out later that it isn't actually your "legal" name if you give a shiat to let 'em know at all.

Hey, I was a flaming, commune-dwelling hippie and had a hippie name that would make Comet seem downright mainstream America. While it may have played well in the mountains of Northern California, it didn't work for me when I moved to Manhattan. You might be hanging with people now who like and appreciate Comet, but you're also going to meet people who dismiss you outright for it. Call yourself whatever you want but don't make it legal.

My name is not the name I would have chosen for myself. But my parents chose it. That's what they get to do as parents. Seems it would be pretty disrespectful to them if I were to change it.
Also, I've always thought that people who went and changed their name must be very dissatisfied with themselves or otherwise insecure... that they wanted to change who they were so much that they went for one of the very most basic things- the name they first identified themself with.

Impossible to say unless/until I know you.
If you plan on becoming a Supreme Court justice, probably not. Otherwise, what the hell, if that's what everyone calls you anyway you might as well use it.
Just don't do like some people and spaz out if someone calls you Alex. There are few legal behaviors that make me want to kick someone in the teeth, but that sort of thing is one of them. Right near the top of the list, even.

Well....to me it seems that you can't really love the you that you are now unless you also love the you that you used to be. That's not easy sometimes, but it is important. Just don't be hating on Alex, that's all I'm saying.

All I gotta say is, there goes the thread asking advice on MY name change...man, Farkers can be kinda heartless. And they fart a lot.

This thread rocks. I haven't laughed this hard in a long time.
Seriously though, I have a friend who did that camp thing and took on the name Batman. It stuck. Everyone I know calls this guy Batman 20 years after the fact. He says it helps when the phone rings and someone asks for him by his Christian name. 9 times outta 10 its bill collectors. Do you really want bill collectors calling you Comet? Or the guy at the bank? Or your doctor? Or even the pizza guy?

I'm changing my last name to Hammer.
Only because it's the name I was born with. I kept my ex's last name until my kids were grown so they wouldn't have to deal with that confusion.
/Hammer's pretty cool, huh?

Especially if you're a dominatrix.

BTW, Comet would be just fine as a nick name. But don't make it legal.
I'm guessing you're in your teens or very early 20s.

Thats very cool. My mom did that until my brother and I were grown and then changed back to her maiden name.
