You don't know me, and I only just signed up here, but I still feel obliged to offer my congratulations.
Changing your name and title here is as easy as drawing up and signing a very simple document and requesting reissues of personal documents with your new name, so my name has been changed from the moment I came to terms with being transgendered. I was already Elly before even my wardrobe changed, and I always feel terribly sorry hearing about people like you in other countries who are already girls both inside and out, but are still forced to be saddled with a name that has all sorts of painful memories. It was exciting enough for me changing my name, so I can't begin to imagine how wonderful it is for you now. Congratulations, Melody! ^^
(Incidentally, your name is one I strongly considered too. So pretty!)
