Can Name Change Be Removed from Records

Seeing another last name on a male in a gay marriage state is going to bring up that consideration.

This is the part that's baffling me.

Seriously.

You're yet to explain your reasoning.

It's uncommon to all of a sudden have an extra last name if you are a male. That's why. Especially, considering I was only known by one last name before the change.

I understand lawmakers can be contacted. This is not something I want to attract extra attention to. I'll contact an attorney who handles these types of things and see if there is some provision that would allow me to make the request, as I was never even allowed to try the first time directly with the judge.

There are people who somehow get real crimes expunged - I'm sure it's worth at least looking into. I also doubt any of you were even qualified to even apply at T14 law school. Thanks again.

getting a crime expunged is much different than what you are asking.

Since you are considering moving, just change your name and then, when you move, you start fresh with your new name. I surely hope you realize that as Mr. Shakespeare once wrote:

What’s in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;


I suspect it is not the association with the name that is the problem you need to worry about. Your personality will be the same no matter what your name.

and qualified to apply at a t14 school? anybody can apply. It's getting accepted that is the hard part.;)

So, some guy gets arrested for armed robbery, yet somehow gets that expunged because he served his time or had a good lawyer. Still an obvious criminal.

Another guy, he changed his name - but had no record of any sort, does not even have the option to make this petition, yet the other guy does. The law can be rather bizarre.

The guy with an armed robbery has a better change of having that removed from his record than the guy who changed his name. Makes sense, I guess. Either way, it is reported to government/credit agencies. If an employer runs your SSN it will show up I'm sure. Currently, I live in a smaller community where people do this sort of thing (look up their neighbors, co-workers, etc) for entertainment and I would like some privacy regarding it. You do realize, people assume there is an odd unknown reason you changed it, and it's not usually good. In my case, I just didn't like or identify with my birth name.

Let me give an example...neither is my name, but it's a good comparison. Good question for a present-day Shakespeare. Would a boy rather grow up being called, Herman, or Danny? I would choose Danny easily and I think most everyone else would too. There is more to a name than you think. My parents have actually apologized for giving me my birth name, it was something dictated by family tradition that went back over 100 years. I never liked the name, and there was just no way around it. I tried my entire life and I'm a late 20-something now.

It's a very personal choice and I think it is unfortunate the law refuses to realize this. Seems like the only way name changes aren't made public is under Witness Protection. Again, the general public may see a name change, and think you were involved with some shady characters. Like I said, it brings up all these possibilities.

I'm also assuming a civil lawyer would be the best to contact.

after insulting everybody here you expect to be offered advice? Dream on.

I was insulted first with the expected "if you don't like it - write your congressman" or telling me "the law is the law" BS. To be honest, I actually feared those types of response, then thought to myself, these people should be more educated and I don't expect such ignorance off the bat. I was wrong.

Anyways, it still happened, leading me to question to collective intelligence of those posting in this sub-forum.

You're wrong.

Not the responders.

Why are you still posting if you're so dissatisfied? Surely the only reason you'd do so is to continue bickering?

the problem is; the law is the law and if you do not like the state of the law, your action would be to write your legislators and seek to have it changed. You acting immature and stamping your feet doesn't change it.

So, if Burger King sells me a whopper, and I'm dissatisfied - I need to write Burger King corporate? That's my only recourse using your rationale. You're right, shouldn't even consider something easier and more efficient.
