I have taken my father's name a couple of times before, ostensibly for online form filling security, but really because I like it. "Ian" is a solid name, not so common now, and it feels like an acknowledgment of someone who I love dearly, but whom I nevertheless act awkwardly before (and vice versa).
I've toyed with the idea of the -uddin suffix. I actually have two birth certificates. One that says "Faiz Razi" and the other that says: "Faizuddin Razi,". it's the only document that has Faizuddin on it like this and there's an accompanying document to refute it.
if you think that's funny, my father, Salahuddin, has three birth certificates. One each for the 14th 15th and 16th of october.
by those accounts, he's 180 years old, and I'm 62.
Too bad it's not 28th, 29th of February and 1st of March. That would make him 180 and 45 year old at the same time... 225, bitches!
Naaah.. that would make him 135 and 45, 180, not quite as cool.
Jesus Christ, I used to be good at math, I swear! He would be 120 and 15. Phfeeew.
