I changed my name 30 years ago 15 months ago

I legally changed my name 30 years ago when I was about to enter religious life. That lasted only six months; but the name stuck and is still my legal name to this day!

September 8th... 22 months ago

was my 1-year anniversary of changing my name. At first, I said that I would change it back. That was before I started a company with the name. Now it would be a little weird to go back. That said, I would like to eventually bring my old name back into the fold… perhaps as middle names. And who knows, I might add a name or two on at some point in the future as well…

Passport... finally! 2 years ago

I finally got around to renewing my passport with my new name. I just didn’t feel like sending in all this paperwork and waiting weeks and weeks. And so I delayed months and months. But then I decided to just expedite for an extra couple bucks and make it all happen. Because I think traveling out of the country is in my near future… but where, I don’t yet know.



Not this year 2 years ago

Maybe next year I’ll try this one… I do want to have my name legaly changed to what I use now and get rid of my middle name all together for personal reasons. I will do that this year.



Untitled 2 years ago

Wow, I just read through the entries for this goal and I’m extremely excited. I’ve always kind of wanted a boy’s name, but always thought it was too weird to change it, since I’m not actually transgendered and don’t want to confuse people. I will admit I have a bit of a sentimental attachment for my childhood name, and it’s prevented me from being able to commit to a permanent name change, but I would love to try it out for one year! The idea simply hadn’t occured to me before.

On Monday I will go down to the courthouse and get information on what I actually have to do to get a legal name change. I live in a small Southern city and I imagine there will be pounds of red tape and strange requirements. Once I’ve figured that all out (and the cost) then I’ll decide whether or not I will actually be able to go through with it.



Changed My Name 2 years ago

I changed my name to have my partners middle name and she did the same..

The process was easy. www.LegalCPU.com did it for us and it took 60 days.



Step one Complete 2 years ago

I went to the Anchorage Alaska Courthouse last week. I got the information on changing my name. Yes, looks like a pain in the ars-but I’m definatley doing it. I have a long histiry of expending years of time completeing goals. From the research I’ve done, I cannot change my name to a number. I wanted to change it to a hexadecimal value: 1101 that will never go through, but “Eleven O One” is acceptable. The experiment will be complete when I hear “Dr. Eleven O One, report to the E.R.”. after that, I’ll change it back.



not for me 2 years ago

This project kind of turned into something different compared to what I thought the original spirit of the thing was. Not a bad thing, but I am not really feeling it anymore for myself.



different me 2 years ago

It sometimes made me feel as though I were two people, because while I told everyone in my everyday life as well as my friends online, I didn’t tell my parents. But it was surprisingly easy to get used to answering to a totally different name. And I do mean totally different! And fun. I’ve seriously thought of changing my name legally to the new one, because I like who I am as that person. Which is a little weird, but true.

Step 2: Drivers License 2 years ago

Another easy one. Ten minutes, ten dollars. I just took these things to the DOL that was again on my way to work:

  • The certified copy of my name change order
  • My old license
  • My old passport (not sure if they needed this or not)

It cost ten dollars, and I waited 5 minutes for them to take my photo and print a temporary drivers license.
