Re: Name Change
You can informally change your name by just going by another name, but that is not practical these days. So you should file a petition for a name change with the Chancery Court, possibly makethe Dept of Vital Records a defendant if you want the birth certificate changed, arrange for Social Security and other government bodies to recognize your name change.
