I really wanted to wait to change my name before I got a license or tried to get a job or even take some courses but I really need to be doing something so should I just deal with it and sign up for some online courses and change my name when I can?

It's kind of a stupid question but it really boths me to have to go by that name but I could put Jay by it?

Idk but I gotta be doing something.

If it's an online class, it probably doesn't matter much.. not like you'll be sitting in a lecture hall getting called your birth name.

Where do you live?

Western New York.

But... all your records will be in your birth name, unless you can get those changed too later on, which I dont know if you can or not, but later when someone looks up your old records for vertification they ll see your birth name, which will suck, but then again being stagnant fails as well, hmm.... long run on sentence there
