Re: Legal name change
You can get copies of the local rules of Court from the Court Clerk of the Court where you reside, or from a law library in the area. I do not believe that they will provide information on possible names/numbers, as almost any legal name or number will be accepted, providing that if you are trying to use an unusual name/number you may be required to show to the Court that there is a legitimate need to use it.
