For the fans: Documentary about him will be released today called "With both legs". Hope for you guys that want to watch it it gets translated.

Unable to locate it yet but see it exists in NL. Nevertheless I did come across his Lyon intro/profile that talked about his background and touched on his United time - not bad

Yeah could probably become Memphis Schensema. Don't think it'd have much of an effect now though when everyone knows him as Depay.

Is it only effect he's after?
Seems a bit strange that he didn't do it, if it worries him so much.
Telling other people what to do, but not taking a simple step to change it.

This might seem very pinpointy, but I think it tells something about the person and also about the "leader" and player.

So you think he's saying these things for the attention?
Dele Alli for example hasn't changed his name either.

I found the process to changing name in Netherlands. It's a lot of hassle and might be hard for an active footballer do so with the reliance on passport/ID.
You write a request to the Ministry of Security and Justice. You can use the name change application form on the website of the Integrity and Screening Agency (Dienst Justis)(external link).
You will receive a confirmation from the ministry with an explanation about the subsequent procedure.
The ministry will ask the municipality (Department of Public Service) for advice on your request.
The Minister of Security and Justice will take a decision on your request for a name change within 10 months.
The municipality of your birth will alter the details on your birth certificate. Your details will also be changed in the Personal Records Database (BRP) in the municipality where you live.
Once the procedure has been completed, certain documents will no longer be valid. For example, your passport or driving licence. You will need to reapply for these documents.
There is a difference between changing a name for minors, changing a name for adults and changing a name due to mental and/or physical health.
The Minister of Security and Justice will rule on your request for a change to your family name. The name change is done by Royal Decree. You will receive this decision by post, and if you were born in the Netherlands the municipality of your birth will also be informed. Your personal details will also be changed in the BRP.

Anway, I think it's just easiest to go by the first name.

I don't know, I just read this page on this forum right now, and found it a bit strange.
He's got an agent that would fix that paperwork for him with just a nod.

It would be pretty natural if he'd have mixed feelings about it though.

Bobo32's trolling style so subtle.

100% nontrolling.
I shit on his footballing abilities, I want to wait to shit on his personality too much.
But it would be an easy thing for him to change his name, so I want to wait to give him "Respect!" for not wanting to be called by his name, too
