I’m seriously considering a name change, both first and last name. But I thought about it and I don’t want to deal with the massive paperwork issues, especially when it comes to citizenship papers and fact that I got citizenship status derived from my mother’s naturalization. I’m not sure if a name change would cause troubles.
Should I do it just for spite?
I have a friend who changed his some time in his 30s or 40s. Not sure what the significance of his new first name was, but he had been named after his dad. He also too his mom’s maiden name as his last name.
