babynameshi, new here, obsessed with names, i plan on posting here quite often, i had no idea this community existed! haha.
I HAVE A QUESTION. i don't know if anyone would happen to know, but i think it's related enough.
i was cursed enough to be named Jessica (no offense to other Jessica's, it's just 'not me'). the rest of my name is pretty awful, too. at the age of 12, i had decided that i want to be called Lorelei Black. i'm nearly 17 now, and i've been deadset on it. i'm still deciding on a middle name, i've been tossing around a few... but i'm positive i want to do this. almost everyone i know calls me Lorelei.
my question is, has anyone else done this here, and could they describe the process and fees, especially? i have a job and my parents have no objection to me doing it before i'm eighteen... i really want it done because i'm starting college in a month, and i want my named changed as early as i can as to not confuse everyone, and so i can have it on my degree (obviously it won't be done in a month, haha, but yeah).
so if anyone can help, that'd be awesome. :D

Date: 2005-12-26 02:23 pm (UTC)Lorelei is so pretty.
I'm in the process of changing my name too, not saying what from but it'll be to Sage Cerridwen. Keeping my original surname, as my ancestry is important to me.
Am going to do it either October '06, or the one after that (my birthday is that month). I'm in college, and want to end up with the least amount of paperwork to deal with.
Am British myself, so wouldn't know about the process in NY. Seems pretty straightforward though. Think the extra expense you mentioned might come from having to replace your passport and stuff like that.
Good luck :)
