In New York at least, you have to prove that you're not trying to escape criminal charges or commit fraud. And if you want to change your name to say, George Walker Bush, you have to especially prove that you're not trying to commit some sort of fraud using a famous person's name.

Otherwise, 'desire' is usually a good enough reason to change your name.

And in NYS it's about $210 for the court fees and $40 to put an ad in the local newspaper alerting... I think law enforcement?.. that you've changed your name. They give you some sort of official document and you have to go to the Social Security office to get a new SS card, and then you can change the rest of your documents.
