Default My Name. What do you think?

As some of you may know I have some political ambitions. In fact I hope to be the first openly gay Prime Minister of New Zealand (in the distant future, of course). Now, I certainly look and act the part. I'm good looking with Short, thick, wavy, dark brown hair. I look intelligent (in fact a friend once described me as having "a look of cunning about you") I'm also witty, well spoken and extremely confidant. I have a knowledge of politics. I am currently majoring in politics at Auckland Uni. I also starred in many stage productions as lead male, and once lead female in Othello.
Anyway, I have recently been pondering whether my name; Removed is too boring, ordinary or common. I don't think my middle name; Anthony is any better to replace the first or last name.
What’s your opinion? Is it too common? Should I change it? If so, what to?

though it will be removed by a mod in about 2 secs i love it. Although i'm in the United States it sounds fine. Easy to remember and has something special about it.
I wouldnt put your middle into it, anything with a "y" sounds wrong to me.

My worry is not what your name is, but that you've released it onto a public forum. If you are seriously aspiring to be Prime Minister of New Zealand, then don't be surprised if anything you may post here comes back. So, in short, be careful of what you post.

P.S. Your name is fine, it's sophisticated and at the same time friendly and inviting.

Good luck on your future politics.

I think it sounds very dignified and prime minister-like. Stick with it, I like it and it definitely fits the job!

Thank you. I do feel though, that people are trying to be nice instead of honest.

He aspires to be the first openly gay prime minister, so he can post his name here.

Your name sounds good. However, Thomas... remember that wishing a thing too much tends to make it more difficult. You don't have to model your life to be Prime Minister... a good Prime Minister (or a good anything) has to be himself.

Hugs,
Fred
