Name Change

[souldeux]

For a myriad of reasons, I will be legally changing my middle and last name in about a year.

How is that going to impact me? Does this mean new contracts, a new license, new everything? Think there will be an issue getting renewals since I'll be under a different name than when I wrote some policies?

Also, anyone got any ideas on how I could convince my fiancee that I would, in fact, be quite dashing if my middle name were "Maximilian?"

You will have to update your lic with your new name and show them the papers where you changed your name.

Get a bunch of certified copies of the judgment changing your name since everyone will request them.

Renewals shouldn't be a problem since your SS number should stay the same. That is the first place to visit with your judgment: your local SS office. Then motor vehicles for new driver's license. The insurance industry part of the headaches will be the least of your problems.

Sure you want to? Think Barbara Hershey, then Barbara Seagull, and then back to Barbara Hershey. How about John Mellencamp, then John Cougar, then back to Mellencamp.

How about the artist formerly known as Prince, the a cratered career since he had no name at all, then back to Prince and a well-deserved oblivion.

Or you could try Nick L. Cadmium too. Sounds electrifying!

Prince has always had a real name...Prince Rogers Nelson.

Well-deserved oblivion? Where are you living, under a rock?

Last I checked, the last several Super Bowl halftime shows featured; Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, and Prince.

Oblivion?

Forget convincing her. Help her convince herself. Talk about dashing:

Why not just try for sainthood then you can be like Cher, Liberace, J-lo (OK, maybe that is two words), but any way, you could just be St. Nick.

How do you look in red?

Nick, you could change your last name to Escargot. On my family tree we had royalty---Count de Escargot.

Damnit! The best piece of sales advice I've ever gotten, and I forget to apply it here.

Thanks, guys, for the advice. Since you all seem to be having a good time re-naming me, go at it: my new name will be Nick ____ Lasseter (LAAH-seh-tur, with the "a" sort of nasal -- like Lucy crying when Ricky catches her doing something untoward). I think Nick Maximilian Lasseter has a lovely ring to it. I get the St. Nick jokes on a pretty reliable annual schedule, and...well, got to be honest, I'm not in love with "Escargot"

A friend of mine who is a psychiatrist changed his name when he got married to a hyphenated name. After 20+ years he is divorced. Guess what his name is back to what it was originally.
