Change ur name

RE: Change ur name
Oh man, CB, your surname is actually Frisbee? That's fucking awesome.

To make good on Ed's demands, my full name is Manu Somerville. Neither me nor my sisters have middle names, which was a shrewd decision on our parents' part to make our hypothetical documentation in Japan easier (because Japanese doesn't have middle names and (recalling some documentation with my dad's name on it) just assumes you've got a ridiculong first name.

Somerville was the name of some French dude from some French town called Somerville, who helped William the Conqueror invade the British Isles and netted himself some land there. I think my dad's side works out as some vague mix of Irish and Scottish, though - so like I said, West European mongrel predominating Scottish (because they were the main European settlers in Otago/Southland New Zealand).

It's not too hard for Japanese folks to pronounce either - sah-ma-bi-ru is just dandy, although a lot of my official documents have a long dash between ma and bi, making the stress on it more like sah-marbill. Like I said, if I took up permanent residence/citizenship here I'd probably switch over to 松井, my mum's surname (which she kept even after my parents got married).
