    Hi all,
    I was thinking about telling my solicitor to register my property under my Irish name, but before I do, was wondering if anyone had experience with this or any thoughts about it?

    Thanks

    Do you use your Irish name usually? As in; do other people refer to you by your Irish name?

    No. My Irish is very poor, besides. And I haven't used my Irish name for anything else.

    The reason I ask is; with a passport, you can have another name on the passport if this is what you're called by others. For example, on the birth cert you may be called Margaret, but if everyone calls you Maggie, and you are addressed as Maggie in bills, etc, you can have Maggie on your passport.

    But if not, if you have no examples of having used your Irish name on a day to day basis, you wouldn't be able to have your Irish name on the passport.

    And thus I wonder if the land registry works the same way, as you'll be in essence registering another name that you are not known as, as the registered name of the land?

    But heck, if you're paying your solicitor, ask them; get your monies worth off them!

    Yeah, I will have to do that. Thanks for your input. :)
    I was seeking to legally use a name that no one knows me by. I doubt if my solicitor would know if I could do that. Hopefully someone has personal experience with this and can tell me how it went for them.

    A solicitor is the best person to talk to.
