My question involves name change laws in the State: Indiana.

This question is more for my perplexed nature towards the "reason for name change" question. My intention is to omit the paternal name given to me and use my middle name in place. The true reason is a deeply personal one that I don't feel should be placed on a court document for public record. My motivation is to step forward as my own person without the emotional baggage my current last name brings to me.

Any suggestions on a more eloquent wording?
