What are some of the most popular reasons for a person changing his/her name?
Name changes are sought for many reasons. Perhaps you simply do not like your birth name and want a name that better suits you. Perhaps you’re divorced and did not request that the Court restore your maiden name as part of the divorce proceedings and your state does not offer a simplified procedure, such as California. Perhaps, you are making or have made a career change, and feel that your birth name hinders you in your new job. As far as the reason(s) for your change of name, the reason(s) should be valid enough that a Judge would at least accept it/them. Remember that the reason(s) will go a long way in helping the Judge determine whether or not to grant your petition. Name changes are common and are typically pretty easy to carry out.
