My Christian and surnames scream "white guy", while my middle name is clearly "black". There have been times I was tempted to go with the middle name at a new job. But looking for one? Hell no. Had to change my email address that included the black name to get any replies on job postings. :(

Is the christian name your first name?

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Yep. Old-school way of saying that I guess. "Given name" is the same.
