It's very exciting! The first part of his social transition has been going by a different name (in fact, he started using a new name at school before he asked us to use it at home). He's now going to make it official with the government.

While it isn't necessarily a difficult process, it does require some planning. There is a specific order you need to do things in order to get a new driver's license, birth certificate, SS card, etc. Surprisingly, Ohio doesn't throw up any walls to change things.

How often does one get to pick their own name? It's been an eye-opening process

How much does it even cost to change your name? I heard it was a difficult and expensive process.

Is this a trans thing(sorry to everyone if the way I used trans there is improper) or are they just straight up changing their name because they don't like the one you gave them?

Yes, he is trans. It was important for him to officially change the name so it was no longer "preferred name". It also means less chance of seeing or being called by his dead name

I remember in one of my university classes, this older guy had a strange last name. The professor asked him the origin of it, and the guy nonchalantly said that he went to file to change his last name, and couldn't think of anything so he just made up the name on the spot. Like as if he hadn't planned it out at all and just wanted to change it.

Yeah, someone I used to know was called Michelle, then after transitioning went by Mick and later settled on Michael (I presume legally as well as informally).

Fair enough and good for him! Glad it was easier than expected for you guys to deal with.

I'm glad you were able to do that. I fully expect that the GOP will try to make this illegal to "protect the children" or some such nonsense

Yup wouldn't be surprised to eventually see them try and regulate what are acceptable names for each gender too.

A YouTuber I used to watch a lot was changing his last name to his stepfather's and found out that it would be no extra charge to change his middle name at the same time.

So he changed his middle name to Lazer.

The middle name thing was interesting. At first he didn't want one, then he wanted one that was tied to my heritage.

He got an appreciation for just yow hard it is to name pick names!

Is he going to start calling himself Max Power? Because if he isn't then what's the point of changing his name?

I suggested that he should change his middle name to Hercules but he didn't take me up on it

I bug my kids all the time about how I think I'm going to change their names(my argument to them is they are still my kids and I can change their names if I want.) They really like their names so it's kind of funny. Holden Aces and Harley Quinn, pretty decent names if you ask me.
