Incoming intern. I was born in Sudan and moved to America when I was 5. My last name, while special to my heritage and family, is long and difficult to pronounce. Frankly, no one can pronounce it correctly. Instead, I wanted to use my middle name which is much easier to pronounce/use.
Is there any rules (FINRA?) against using my first and middle name in email/company dealings? Thank you!

This is fairly common among ethnic minorities or people who don't like their name for other reasons.
i.e. Apu Nahasapeemapetilon could become Apu Nate (and they could give you [email protected])
For official purposes (background check, FINRA, educational credentials, etc) they would need your full legal name as in your passport. Your full legal name may also show up in certain software applications like SAP, travel software, peer review solutions, or budget approval software.
Not exactly sure but I'm sure if you send a note to HR just asking to change email based on preference should be ok. If this is NY, I think they have to honor. Not 100% sure
You'd have to be registered as your full name, but you can probably go by a "preferred" name if you wish in the workplace.
Bro you can go by a preferred pronoun now in banking(and use it in your email sig)
Of course you can use a preferred name
Thank you, sir. Have a great weekend!
