Reasons to Petition for Legal Name Change
Name Change for Personal Reasons
Individuals seek legal name changes to remove an unusual, and awkward sounding birth names and replace them with names they feel more comfortable with. Names are often changed by individuals having names that are difficult to pronounce or otherwise, sound like unflattering English words. Individuals may also seek a name change to a name that comports with an alias the individual has used his or her whole life, a nick name, or a name that fits that person’s identity and maturity. As a result, many people prepare adult name change petitions to remove strong ethnic connotations in favor of a common sounding name.
A name change may also be necessary for an individual who has had, or will have a sex change to comport with a new sexual identity. The office is sensitive to the needs of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) communities and has assisted members of these communities for many years.
Legal Name Change For Professional Reasons
In the real world, during a career, many people are faced with prejudices from others. Sometimes these prejudices are against a person’s name because of false stereo types associated with the use of a particular name, because of misunderstandings about a country, ethnic group, or culture or simply because the name is unusual. The problem is exacerbated even more so when an individual is looking for a job and presents themselves initially only with a resume without meeting in person with a prospective employer. Some people find it necessary, therefore, to apply for an adult name change to enhance their career possibilities. This office can help.
Name Change for Family Reasons
Many times a married person who previously did not take a spouse’s name at the time of marriage registration may wish to change his or her last name to that of a spouse particularly when a married couple have children, or plan to have children. Or the married person may wish to add the other spouse’s name to his or her current last name
Sometimes, an individual wishes to legally change a last name because the last name may be associated with a parent who was not involved in the person’s life emotionally or financially. This occurs frequently. These type of cases occur particularly with young adults who either want to take their mother’s last name, a grandparent’s last name, or the last name of some other person that raised him or her, out of respect.
Legal Name Change For Religious Reasons
An adult legal name change for religious purposes is useful particularly where an individual has converted to a new religion different from the one the individual grew up with. Many times the current legal name does not fit a person’s current religious experience and a name change that works well with a his or her current religious activities may enhance that person’s religious experience and religious identity.
