legally change my name

i need help changing my name because its to long and its myranda but i wont it to be jammie because i love that name and its a beutiful name

contacted 2 attorneys to get quotes on the prices to do this. hoping to save up enough $ in the next year to go through w/ it.

So, I’ve been to the county clerk at the courthouse. Now I’m just waiting for my court date to arrive in the mail so that I can move forward.

Ok…reason number one

I HATE my dad and don’t want to have his last name anymore!

Also,

I just don’t like my name….first, middle, or last.

I figure I will come up with a name I really like and keep it forever. When I get married someday the guy will have to understand that I don’t believe in changing my last name to his (unless I really like it).
I’m kind of a feminist and don’t want to have my last name associated with a guy…though I’m open to him taking my last name (the one I change it to at least^_)

Of course the last name will have to go with the names I like for kids…

I will probably take my mom’s maiden name but shorten it…b/c it’s really long and hard to spell…

I want to change my name from Holly to Demi but I dont want to tell my parents about this as I am worried about what they say but I love the name Demi should I tell them please help me.

i got the paperwork yesterday and i’m going to see my lawyer in a couple hours.i’m so excited,I’ve wanted to do this for so long.

When I was 19 I started using the name Lisa Dinkley Gatsby. I thought that I would legally change it to that name… I think I grew out of it. A couple of days ago I came up with Anna Lise Oakvari Nasrin Eris.

I filed all the paperwork today. After $520 in legal fees ($320 to the state of california, and $200 to run a 4 week ad in my local newspapers legal section), my name change will be finalized on August 6th. (!!!)

....I’m putting this goal off, for I don’t know how long.

The past couple of weeks I’ve really gotten interested in saving money and investing, and I’ve decided that legally changing my name is a luxury that I do not wish to spend money on right now. I would much rather put the money it would cost to better use.

I WILL change my name one day though….but now I’m thinking it probably won’t be within a year. Maybe sometime in the next five years….

My paperwork came back, now I just have to submit it to everyone, starting with my school, so I can get my diploma printed the way I want it. I’m calling it done.
