[just fun] Got my name changed

Just felt like sharing a story :)

After some years of fighting the gubberment for recognizing my name and gender change it finally got accepted

Since I was changing my name, I thought I might have some fun with it.

Icelandic name laws are super strict, all names have to be approved by a government committee (seriously)

However there is an Icelandic name, Sæborg (Sæ-Borg, meaning sea city) that is pronounced exactly the same way as cyborg so I decided to put it as my middle name

So, not only do I claim to be a cyborg, I am also named cyborg ^^
