Buster Benson I need more goals.

change my name for a year (read all 9 entries…)
In Washington State...

It costs $100 and takes 6-8 weeks. (forms and things)

This is a good site with a funny list of rules and a checklist of places you’d need to update (if you wanted to be very thorough), as well as good general advice.

I’m still alternating between thinking this would be really funny and sort of a pain, to being really funny, sort of a pain, and too much work. It sure would be fun to cross this off my list though.

Do difficult and absurd cancel each other out?

not always...

this just seems like a lot of bureaucracy and expense for one year of name change. you still have to pay to get a new passport, drivers license and all that junk, in addition to the name change charge! I like the “common usage” method better.

I was thinking of changing my name but still going by Erik Benson. :)

trouble?

Won’t you run into trouble if your legal name does not match your legal documents? I don’t know how it works. Maybe if you didn’t need to apply for a new passport or bank account or start a new job within the year you’d be alright.
