The Thurman is easy to shorten, at least nowadays. Just add a thick drawl to the 'Thur' and say, "but everybody calls me Thor," and roll your eyes a bit. They'll laugh, tease you about it a bit because you got named after a comic book character, and then you won't be known as Thurman.

I'm well aware that Thor did not originate in comic books. Thank you for reading my TED Sp(ew)Ed.

I knew a Thor in highschool. I think his name was actually Anthor? I could be wrong. Knew his brother also, named Mordecai. They had a lot more sibling I never learned their names. They were an...interesting family.
When I was much younger, my gf and I joked about naming an unwanted child to punish them (in reality, we'd get an abortion). We decided Paisley was the best bad name. But I think Thurman's parents hated them even more.

Thursday is Thor's Day. Just say your name is Thur and a day of the week is named after you.

I work with a Furman, like not even a furry. (As far as I know.)
Maybe you could shorten Thurman to Thurry?

Can't they just, adopt the correct version of their name?
I have a friend with a very arcaic name and most people don't know what we call him is not his real name.

People don't realize that this has always been the case. I learned my wife's grandpa's real name at his funeral.
