Quoting AlphaF: That is insincere....marriages do not work like that, take my word for it ! |
i didnt refer to my marriage, OMG! i love my husband very much and we have a super marriage 
it was regarding taking the name to be in peace in here and eliminate further problems

There are many Greek, Armenian etc. citizens of Turkia. They have no problem giving their children names that they please.
I dont think you will be forced to change your name against your wishes.. It will be smart, if you do !

I am not annoyed...I want you to be happy !
Jewish citizens in Turkia can also name theirs kids, as they please,
As far as I know, Jewish citizens of Turkia refused to be considered as minority in Turkia (out of their own will) and renounced the minority rights, opting to become normal ordinary Turkish citizens.

Quoting AlphaF: Azade, what was your original name, Maria? |
I have not changed my name, only my mother in law calls me Cane. I was thinking about it for a while because it's much easier when I live in Turkey but imagine having to respond to something different than you have been all your life...no thanks. Cane is actually really close to my real name and it's just convenient to use here But an actual name change? Never.. well maybe if I was to go under a witness protection program  but that's not something I'm counting on 
For a future daughter - Sarê, provided that we live in Turkey

you have not changed your name because like me, we are married for only 1 year. but after 3 years, we are taking the citizenship and then this change will be done ...
or NOT!!! hahhahaa

Inankur, I really hope that you understood this wrong and that adopting a Turkish name is not a requirement for a Turkish nationality!
Right now I can say I never want one. Think of it, you make a bad comment about Atatürk and suddenly you will be put in jail for something all your life you have thought to be very undemocratic and rather ridiculous if not hilarious. So, no thanks, not for me!
Anyway, ask Marioninturkey, she does have a Turkish citizenship.

I don't you don't have to worry about anything, but as mentioned it will probably be easier for you if you add a second turkish name. But don't forget yourself in the process, you are Andreea You have the right attitude already - not doing anything you don't want to.

You can not build your whole life on stupid aspirations as preached by Deli-kizin..
Consider carefully...Why should you ever wish to insult Ataturk?
