Just posting to clear up any confusion that may arise.
As of today I have made a lawful name change.
My name is now Vio of the family Amethyst, or Vio otf Amethyst.
You may call me Vio for short.
My IRC nickname will be Vio, and my RuneScape display name WG Vio.
I will update the forums and memberlists, and other RS-related groups e.g. RSC, YouTube, etc. as necessary.
lolwat
nice sig
lol
I'll call you Violet from now on ;)
ok kez!

It does come from Violet, which is French for purple. I shortened it to avoid sounding female.

My original middle name is a well-kept secret that only my family and very close friends know.
The "otf" in my new name simply means "of the family", a term used by Freemen.
Vio was truly inspired by the French "Violet".
I have had a love for the French culture since I was 13.
I would like to at least become fluent in the language, and hopefully move to Paris one day.
Violet, or purple rather, bears at least some significance to WG - it is as much part of me as I am of it.
It's also a colour reference to my birthstone, Amethyst, and also my new surname.
Please tell me if you actually changed it lawfully.

Please tell me if you actually changed it lawfully.
For a Freeman (a sort of libertarian ideology), there is an immensely strong difference between the terms "legal" and "lawful".
All
legal documents pertaining to my person retain the name of Keanu,
a person. (e.g. drivers license, passport etc.)
However, to all my family and friends, I am
lawfully now known as Vio,
a human being.
Think of it this way: I, the human you known, am Vio, whereas my birth certificate remains Keanu.
ok kez!
:fp:
this guy bleeds wg, CHANGED HIS NAME TO PURPLE
Next you should make a symbol that represents "Vio", kinda like Prince did. This is definitely going to help your politics for raidmaster ;P Haha
right on dude, I've always wanted to change my last name (legally though), but I know it'd hurt family members etc.
For the dutch/flemmish: This is now whats known as his roepnaam...
So how long before those around you will actually start to call you that?
u wot m8

Doood. hello Vio o.O Nice choice, anyway. Very Dubya Gee-ish.
Keanu was one of the most awesome names.
I really love that name and came to respect the person that I thought of each time I heard it.
Sometimes we try to leave behind things that were hurtful but they are what developed the person we became.
You have become a great person over the years and I'm saddened by the name change.
Vio although I understand your thinking it will associate you with purple, I think of Vehicles in Operation or Vertial Input/Output.
Vio is also a term used for the cell phone company that I currently use.
Keanu was such a unique name and just as creative sounding as you are.
Good luck with the name change and I hope this doesn't have a bad impact on your future real life careers.
If I was your real life mother, this would be one of those things I'd want to spank you over. . .
I still love you.
I'll prevent myself from saying something that I really shouldn't say.

sinclair*
Still calling you Keanu
I just find the name change a bit disturbing.
Cabernet Sauvignon is French too and referrs to a purple grape.
He could of been choosing to be named after a fruit.

Fagus sylvatica f. purpurea is a purple tree.
This might of been a worse name but again I believe French too.

QuoteTyrian purple became the color of kings, nobles, priests and magistrates all around the Mediterranean.
For a name for purple I think Tyrian is categorized more in the male gender.I love the color purple and can relate to wanting to have your name associated with such a lovely color.
I just think maybe you could of used a little more input on the choice of the name.
Keanu>VioIt doesn't change who you are or how I'll treat you.
I still love the person I got to know.
Peace
Rachy
Tyrian is better, and similar to Tyrion of the Lannisters, one of the best characters by far in GoT.
Shocking revelation:
My name is actually short for Orange, but my mother has a speech impediment that means she pronounces R as W, but her favourite colour is orange, so Oran became Owen.
</sarcasm>
Brb changing my name to Purp of the Family Derp.
I am Indi of the family Go.
Together, the three of us can unite to create a new clan.

Reincarnation of Sol Bastion the 1st and Sol Bastion the 2nd.

Yeah, but the bit about "kings, nobles, priests and magistrates" doesn't work out so well for a Libertarian.
True, half the reason I watch GoT is for that character, but I wouldn't consider him part of my identity.
As soon as I thought of "Vio", I knew it fit me perfectly, and I don't regret the change at all.
All my friends, college classmates, even my teachers all approve, and are now calling me Vio.
How is it the one group of people who I don't have the support of is WG?
Because IRL, you've surrounded yourself with a group of people who have social inadequacies, because those are the people you are comfortable with.
Think of that girl we know, and her friends, and your friends, and you.
Here in WG, most of us have good emotional and intellectual maturity, and we can spot a socially degrading act when we see one.
Your problem is that you don't trust us enough to end this folly.
O_O

Shit just got real.
Is this for real or is it total bullshit?
Keanu why don't you just get it legally done too to stop all the dramas
Aren't your parents rustled?

I read it thinking the exact same thing.
I don't want this to be a pitfall in your successes that you have had.
It seems like a slide back to me into some place that makes you more comfortable with who you think you are.
So...V-Diddy or V-Dawg :herp:

Man speaks truth.
As good as your advice is, I'm choosing to disregard all of it.
Vio is the biggest choice I've made in my life so far, and I have never been more confident.
Thank you all, but I absolutely will not be moved on this one.
Bro..

Well, none of us know you as well as you know yourself, but we DO know public perception of you.
I hope you're making this decision with the realisation that the WG community is going to reflect the greater community.
