If you haven't already, have a look at this thread. Interesting topic.
I would like to initiate a discussion about this topic. I have heard of all sort of reasons why many have not done it, for example, problems or restrictions when visiting their family homes that now fall within Greece's borders, keeping things simple by retaining the status quo, etc. However, I know of several Macedonians

By withholding a slave name this adds confusion to those that have no idea about Macedonia and the Macedonians and furthermore adds validity to those "christian turks who identify as macedonians of greek origin" and to a "greek macedonian" identity.
Any one with a slave name in the diaspora of whom willingly holds value to that name should be crucified. Is anyone holding a gun to your head? You willingly confuse yourself and others in retaining such a identity

Having said that, it does seem to be a modern day identifier for Macedonians so any name change in this regard is far less demeaning than some other endings.Risto the Great

-ski, -ov and -ev all make grammatical sense in the Macedonian language. -ić -opoulos -oglou do not. If i were in the situation where I carried a slave name i'd try to change it back to its natural form. If it's as simple as removing a suffix i'd just remove it. If I had no leads on my original surname and my slave name was not morphed but totally changed, i'd probably use my grandfather's first name as my surname.- Секој чоек и нација има можност да успеат колку шо си дозволуваат.

Perhaps some macedonians had the "ski" suffix added when Tito came to power, but in reality the "ski" ending has been with macedonians for a long time, far longer then the "ou" or "ic"
Some of the greatest macedonians had the "ski" ending before Tito's time.

99% of "ski" terminations are as a result of Yugoslav communist criminal misadventure.
Thus your real surname is not Naumovski or Naumovic but Naumov.
Sandanski is an extremely rare and atypical example...and the 'ski" nearly always relates as to where you came from rather than who your family is. Hence, Stambouliski is someone from Istanbul, Sofianski is someone from Sofia etc etc.
The funniest irony is that "ski" surnames were actually far more common in Bulgaria prior to 1945 than on the territory of the Republic of Macedonia.
The only irony greater than the above is the Skis insisting on Macedonians from the Aegean to change their surnames back when the Skis themselves have no intention of doing so themselves.
How many ways can you say "hypocrisy"?

So instead of saying Makedonski or Ohridski what do you suggest we say.Стравот на Атина од овој Македонец одел до таму што го нарекле „Страшниот Чакаларов“ „гркоубиец“ и „крвожеден комитаџија“.
„Ако знам дека тука тече една капка грчка крв, јас сега би ја отсекол целата рака и би ја фрлил в море.“ Васил Чакаларов

Kosturski Orel, how would you explain a family name of mine that ends with a ski (given all my family is from Egej). Your statistic is absolute rubbish. You sound a bit like a stupid Bulgarian.Risto the Great

But in saying that, i think you over exaggerate the communists role in changing peoples surnames in macedonia.
For example, almost all of the people from eastern macedonia have surnames that end in "ov". Places like Strumica, Stip, Veles etc, almost every one has a "ov" surname. While on the other hand everyone in Ohrid, Prilep, Struga, Tetovo and the rest of western macedonia have the "ski" ending. Places like Bitola and Skopje have mixed results.
Kiro Gligorov, the biggest yugocommie and Tito's puppet didnt change his name as well.
Are you trying to say that the people of eastern Macedonia all stood up against Tito and didnt allow their names to be changed? Thats a pretty effort by these people considering what tito did to chetniks,ustashe etc
And as Risto said, their are people in Aegean macedonia, albania and pirin macedonia with the "ski" names as well.
You really do sound like a bulgarian slav nationalist. I thought you were a macedonian:?
