It's irritating to this day when all official correspondence I get is addressed to Mr. Donald Bradley, and was worse at school when I got the nickname "duck" Grrr

I am Padraig usually anglisised to Patrick either of which I can tolerate but don't really like.Hate Paddy though or Pat or the worst of the abbreviations Patsy. I really don't think Patsy does any man a favour.
Dunno what I'd be called if I suddenly had the chance to change it but probably something exotic like raysparx suggested,but as long as it's not Patsy I'm happy though:)
David was the commonest name in Britain for most of my life, and it is boring. I'd like one of those names that sounds like a place and one few others have. My last name was changed from a foreign one to a first name and that causes no end of confusion either. If it wasn't for all my certificates I'd use the old one again but that would confuse even more.
