I am confused? I don't think I can even understand the confusion of the Betty Brown thing. You have a legal name and that legal name is what you use on legal documents and for stuff requiring legal names. So, when you go to vote, you use your legal name, not your nickname. So what if your name is Fields of Ambrosia, but you go by Sheila. Sheila would be your nickname and not your real name. And if you really don't like Fields of Ambrosia and find it inconvenient, you can change it to Sheila. So, yeah. I don't understand the issue on either side. My name is Maya and people mispronounce it more often then not. But, it's my name and I'll make them say it right if I ever let them say it at all.

China insisting you change your name because of computer character limits? Well, that sort of stupid is easy enough to understand. Painfully stupid, but very clearly so.
