I don’t know if this was normal, but in my elementary school (Diefenbaker) the principal could change their names or pick an English name for them upon enrollment??? This one guy came from HK and just recently he told me this story that his Chinese name was Dick On and the principal said no that’s not going to work for you here and wrote Dickens on his paperwork and that literally became his legal Canadian name after, still his name to this day lol
