Hello Members,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am currently in the process of applying for a new job at a bank, and they have requested that I fill out a form that includes information on other names used.

Say, my name is Amitabh, and I commonly go by the nickname "Amit" in office and social settings.

As "Amit" is not officially registered but is a name I frequently use in informal contexts, I am seeking guidance on whether it is appropriate to include it in the "Other names used" section of the form. When I explained this to the bank, they still want me to include this name under "Other Names used" section.

I want to ensure that my submission is accurate and complies with the standard practices without impacting my future job applications elsewhere.

I appreciate any insights or experiences you may have on this matter, especially if it pertains to job applications.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
