unexpected downsides of changing your name: every few months, you come across a name that makes you go "oh gosh that's amazing, maybe I should have picked that one instead..."
I am quite happy with my chosen first name and can't imagine having a different one but my middle name was internally debated A Lot (I didn't get one at birth, so even 'should I have a middle name at all?' was part of the question). All the names I've thought were good would have been middle name candidates.
