    It’ll come up every time you need official government documentation. Something like “Have you been known under other names?”

    Getting married? It’ll come up.
    Need a police clearance for work? It’ll come up.
    Need a Working with Children check for work? It’ll come up.
    Getting a visa to work/travel overseas? It’ll come up.

    Yes, it can be explained away. But I can see this costing the kid jobs, at the very least. Some employers might ask the candidate to explain this, Others might just not bother.
