That was weird

Yesterday I discovered that my last name isn't written on any legal document of mine. Seriously not even my birth certificate 😅 they just used my father's grandpa's name.

I believe it all started at my birth certificate I guess my dad didn't type my last name while they were naming me in a foreign country. It's actually the same for one of my siblings.

But at least the names all match on everything though.

@SW-User There's only one person who can be this weird I guess 🤭

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether but, if your actual last name isn't on an official document anywhere, is it actually your name?? 🤔🤔

@SW-User That's what I said to my mom lol
Egypt takes the first 4 names and those match with my dad's so I'm kinda sure he's my father 😂 time for DNA test. This changes nothing in my life anyway I'll just use my 4th name as my last in legal matters from now on.

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether it's kinda funny, but it's nice to learn how different countries have their traditions of doing things

@SW-User We also don't have middle names. They were canceled in the 50's for being too "confusing". Sometimes I wish the British never left, Egypt was a great country till independence. Maybe it would have been a commonwealth state by now and everything would be better at least human rights-wise.

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether hold up, you don't have middle names but you have 4 or 5 names are they all double barrel names, I'm confused

@SW-User The name simply goes "me, father, his father(my grandpa) and his father (dad's grandpa)" that's it as simple as that.
I found this fake ID of our president on a BBC link. It's sold as a souvenir lol
It says Address: Ministry of defense Job: Egypt's savior 😂😂

Anyway I hope it helps. His name is "Abdelfattah Saeed Hussein Elsisi" 4 names. The 4th name is basically the last name by international standards and for me it's somehow the 5th name not the 4th so that's the error. That's also how the president is known to you as Sisi only because it's the last name on his legal documents.
