Changing Your Name to do business....

[Blue Phoenix]

Hi guys,

Just an 'out of interest' topic for you... I notice a few business people change their names when starting up in business. James Caan is one example but there are others too.

The reason I ask is because of a BBC article saying that younger entrepreneurs will soon be doing this as the 'norm' because by typing their name into 'Google' you obviously get their twitter / myspace / facebook and any forum posts they mention their name on, etc.

Do you guys think this will realistically happen? Do you think there are any ethical issues for it? Are there any legal issues?

I think many people will. All these teenies broadcast their entire lives on Facebook etc. without realising the repercussions of their actions.

Their potential employers and business contacts can know details of their private lives by searching for them on these sites and adding them as friends.

Its scary how naive people are
