You're changing your given name. You'll need a lawyer to petition a court. While you're talking to the lawyer, ask her about the implications of a name change. If your past tax filings, passport, and anything that you have ever done or used in the past changes, you may want to ask how you could get stopped if someone notices something different (the name on your plane ticket doesn't match exactly the name on your i.d.).

Judy Garland's name was Esther Gumm. I'm sure she was married and divorced and died as Esther Gumm. But when she went anywhere...

I have a sister named Lorene. She has always hated it. At age 13, she served notice on the family that she was Lori from then on. Sheesh! How could you say no to that?
