I'm just now filling my name change form out and I'm a bit stuck on this one.

Any ideas?

It really doesn't matter --- it's just a way they get folks who are doing it for fradulent purposes. 

I have heard --- common usage - transgender - easier to pronounce - disassoiation from my family - the judge really doesn't care

That's interesting, Sarah7. Does it allow a private name change in Québec too?

I checked "other" and then wrote in "transgender." That was fine for the courts.

I just wrote that I was changing my name to conform to my gender identity.  For a fleeting moment I wanted to write about some vast conspiracy between martians and Alaskan salmon, but I understood that the judge might not have a sense of humor about that kind of thing. ;D

My form doesn't have any options to check, so I'm basically expected to come up with my own thing I guess?

Yeah. Mine just says "reason" too. I don't know if this form becomes public record or not. I put "Gender Change".

 I just put" Male to female gender transition."  Nobody will see it after it's processed.

Hi, when I did it I also put "Gender Change." Kim

I put "This name better suits my identity".
