Name misspelled at birth?

[faarax_mn]

My name is Abdinasir, but on my birth certificate it says Abdinaser for some reason.

I don't know how this came to be, on some docments it's Abdinasir and on others it's Abdinaser.

Does it really matter? Will this affect me down the line? Every other Somali I met with my name has it spelled Abdinasir.

Most ajnabis just call me Abdi

My name is wrong too immigration mixed it up 10 years ago and I just left it how it is.

Even with cadaan names they have different spellings. E.g. Meghan Megan Megyn

It's not a major problem but you can always correct it with deedpoll assuming you're from UK

Fix it now before you get older and creates headaches. I would forget about what your preference is and go with how it's written on your birth certificate and passport. Those two documents are your primary IDs and other IDs go by what your birth certificate and passport says.

My social security and vaccine card say "ir" so I'm kind of in an awkward position here
