    I would use my surname.  The driver may call me Ms. Maid. :)

  • I do too but they always look at me funny. I have an unusual surname though.

     I give them my surname since I don't have a Christian name.

    I haven't used a cab for 20 years. They didn't ask my name.

    I did not change my name when I became a Christian so have just used my birth name or now since I am married my husband's last name.

  • I only booked a taxi once, and I'm sure I gave my first name. When I say it people are sometimes like "Kevin?". "Nevan" is not very common.
