Title: Last Name
Post by: Chaos on August 12, 2013, 07:13:33 PM
Sorry if this was posted but i didnt see anything when i searched.If there is then please point me to any answers.I was just wondering if anyone knew if last name change was an option or if they have? The reason i ask is because my birth family had disowned me and you could say that i wish to start over completely.leave my past and all those attached to it,behind.I guess this is one way i wish to do so.I just wish to know if its an option *for those who have gotten name changes already* and if not,then i will go from there.thanks

I know in the UK you can. One guy changed his first name to Captain and last name Fantastic. Captain Fantastic. I'm not sure about other countries but in the UK you can change your name to whatever by deed poll.

I changed my entire name.  Changing the last name is no big deal.
