They require you to write your name as it is written in your passport/residence card. So if you have a middle name there then you have to write your middle name on everything even though it may not even fit in some boxes.
Huh. That's mighty inconvenient. In my country it's more like an afterthought, I don't think it has any legal bearing at all, or at least I was never informed of that being the case. All people care about is the signature matching, more or less.
so i originated from turkey (i was born and i live in germany my parents came from turkey).....my first name and my last name are....weird...typical turkish names...my second name is a normal one.....my first name is hard to speak out for non turks and my last name sounds stupid asf....

Yes,I would like to for multiple reasons, one related to my family name being shit and I don't want to carry that legacy, also because people always mix up my first and last name and that has always been a problem with administration around here, among other things.
Other than that, considering the last name can be omitted most of the time it's too much work for hardly a cosmetic improvement.

Might I add the new one’s hot asf. But to stay on topic I use aliases but when I’m dealing with personal matters I use my real name so I have an email with my real name and 4 others to stay incognito if you were to google my name you’ll find a few items from like a school newsletter and such but that’s about it.Yes I was born in the wrong body

I'm generally interested in things such as race so looking into ancestry of Europeans (+ Eurasians, Indo-Europeans), Africans, and Asians (+ Native Indians) contains information that one can always learn something new he or she didn't know previously.
Without going off-topic too much, some Eurasians are more towards being European-looking while others are more towards Asian-looking. Keanu Reeves (I watch any movie he's in) for example looks mostly European, though those who can identify races can tell he's partially Asian.
Maria Ozawa also looks mostly European (I don't remember how I came across her name, just keep in mind she does "adult" "acting") and Carlos Ghosn (European-Japanese) too, but Ghosn can look either part whenever he wants.
Moreover, without looking up info on Jair Bolsonaro I knew he was of German ancestry based on his looks. Yes, Wikipedia states he has Italian roots has well, but the German side seems to be the majority of his DNA.
P.S. Westerners (Europeans) tend to treat people who live in the Americas differently, except most of them share the same DNA/ancestry so they shouldn't hate (yes, even to that point). Hell, regardless of race, really. No need for anyone to be xenophobic or racist, it feels as though most of the time it happens out of ignorance (Mr. Brown from The Office was right!
).

I follow the philosophy that to know how to move forward, one must need to know where they currently stand and what was behind them.
There are pros and cons about being Eurasian, the biggest is that you're never exactly one race or another; while some might see a glass half-empty, I see it half-full and do my utmost to represent all my heritage, both those that come from my DNA and those from the place I was raised.
As such, I follow up on most of my cultural ancestry and see what wisdoms they have for my life.
That said, there are two main European ancestries directly from my grandparents and parents, alongside one Middle Eastern and three Asian; I only have one lifetime, so I do make a choice in what I learn because of my time constraint.

Changed my name about 4 months ago, haven't gotten it legally changed yet though. I never necessarily hated my birth name, but it never felt like me and it was honestly a very boring name and it got to the point where I couldn't stand hearing it. I originally wasn't sure if I would stick with my new name or not, but it's really grown on me and I love it so much more than my birth name. Hopefully I'll be able to legally change it at some point, though it'll probably be a pain.

In the US, (or at least in my state) the process is unnecessarily complicated.
Here's an excerpt from a website about it.
"To obtain a legal name change in [state], an applicant must submit a petition to the court. The applicant must publish notice of the petition in the newspaper for three weeks and the last week’s publication should be at least 30 days before the hearing. The applicant should file a copy of the published name change notice verified by affidavit of a disinterested person."
It's pretty absurd, not only should you not have to go to court but you have to post your petition in the newspaper?
Here's some more info on that
"In most states before a court will legally change your name, you need to publish notice of your intended change in a newspaper. This allows your creditors and other interested parties to object to the change. At a minimum, it puts them on notice that your name is about to change."
It's such a weird barrier and pretty nerve-wracking to me that I have to announce my business to anyone who reads the newspaper. It leaves people who want to change their names uniquely vulnerable (especially if they're trans).
It should be fine, but knowing about the process makes me pretty nervous about actually doing it.

Why didn't you take your mother's family name if I may ask ?
Because him and his wife wanted a whole new start - I get that.
I didn't, @AnalogMan said exactly that. Him and his wife have decided to start a new family name, for themselves. That's how I've read that, at least.
I abandoned my birth name many years ago and finally 2 years ago when I moved into my current abode I filed the paperwork to make it official. That old name wasn't in any way reflective of who I'd become over the years. It was the name of a weak and bullied unloved wreck of a guy. Once I found my strength and broke free of the abuse it was time for a clean slate, and I chose the name given to me by friends and loved ones as a symbol of what I'd become. I don't regret it one bit. My life has been immeasurably improved by the change and the chance to breathe free of the stink of my family.
As for the notion of it being disrespectful to parents, I think that bird had flown the minute my 'mother' threw a dinner plate at my head inflicting permanent vision problems and my 'father' abandoned me on a doorstep without so much as 10p for a phone call. If all I did to 'disrespect' them was change my name instead of the logical choice of burning them at the stake to purge their blight from the universe, that's more mercy than they deserve.

I'm so glad you still write the fanfic for your life.
