I thought I my just add a post about this to prevent confusion.
WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF ESTABLISHING that a Human Being is 'commonly called' (i.e. doesn't have a NAME) and should be referred to as per 'Veronica: of the Chapman family' (for example). Multiple Given Names are hyphenated together.
OK, we all know that, so what is a LEGAL FICTION NAME?
Actually MOST other forms of addressing us, however we could 'forgive' (say) 'Veronica Chapman' , because of the close proximity to the way we might sign something.
Although, please note, your signature can be any SHAPE you wish to make it. All that has to happen is that you need to be able to duplicate it at will, such that a Handwriting Expert can distinguish it. They do that by fairly sophisticated methods these days, including assessing 'pressure points', etc. They are very accurate. It is an exact science to them. They can tell if you wrote it or not. (The only thing is ... they cost 'money')
I often sign letters just 'Veronica'. I once knew someone (can't remember his name), but he signed everything as "O" ... using his own pressure points & 'flair'.
If you 'initial' something (e.g. a mistake on a cheque) you would generally only use your initials anyway. The point is that it is in your own unique handwriting. And that's all that matters.
So ... how do you tell a LEGAL FICTION NAME?
Well, we all know that being addressed in CAPITALS, or partly in CAPITALS, is a legal fiction NAME.
But what about, for example, 'Ms. Veronica Chapman'?
Is that a legal fiction NAME?
Yes, it is. because it contains my LEGAL FICTION STATUS, 'Ms.'.
Anything that addresses you as 'Mr.', 'Mister', 'Mrs.', 'Miss', 'Ms.', etc is a LEGAL FICTION NAME.
Simply because this is not addressing a REAL entity.
Why not?
Well, point to a 'Mister'! (Listen: You could point to a DE-MISTER, being cloth to wipe down the windscreen of a car, or a can of aerosol ... but you can't point to an ITEM which is 'a mister'. If you could it would certainly not be a Human Being)
'Marriage' (which entails subsequently being addressed as Mrs., in the case of a woman) is a LEGAL FICTION.
What is not a legal fiction? Well ... ever heard of a Common Law partnership? Actually a 'partnership' (OMG another SHIP!!!) is a fiction, because you can't point to an item called 'a partnership', and more than you can point to a 'mister'.
Strictly speaking all you can say is: "I'm IN partnership with X: of the Y family. S/He is my mate".
It is only A CONVENIENCE to call it 'a partnership'. A quick method of referring to the situation, such that everyone is familiar with what it means.
Are we just being 'picky'? Well, it is the difference between demanding our rightful FREEDOM, or admitting to, allowing, being subjected to, and living in SLAVERY ... what do you think?
