I don't think the suggestions here are very helpful.You could always change your name by deed pole!

how about getting a second frequent flyer account and just do family transfers every year. As you are related to yourself there shouldn't be a problem

There are a lot of Asian people who live by their nick name. For example, I booked a flight for a Mr Mario Zhang to find out this wasn't his actual name, but the English one chosen while dealing with Euro countries

True. I did not think of that scenario but rather the Gazzas, Bazzas, Tezzas, Davos, Waynos etc of the world....

Issue with that is that you will have status spread across two accounts. You cannot transfer SC's either. i wouldn't want to have 2 FF accounts.. makes it too hard
