    Talking Minor Name Change In Tennessee

    We just recently went through a step parent adoption and have the children's last names change. However the kids are wanting to change a first name and maybe a middle name and want to know how long will we have to wait to submit another change?
    Could we have change more then the last name at adoption? We done this ProSe and I haven't found any info on this. We didn't pursue it do to the fact we thought a major name like the first one changing would be best done over the summer and start new year with it for less confusion. Also the kids didn't want the bio father and step mother to know their new names. Along with the fact they sprung this on us on New Years Day and seemed to be in a hurry to get it over with as we was for the kids sakes.
    Thank you for any help you can provide.

    You should be able to get a name change petition form at your county courthouse. Often they are available for download. (See, e.g., Nashville & Davidson County - the "informational letter" gives instructions, and they offer a fill-in-the-blanks petition form.)

    Aaron thank you for that information, however i mostly wondered if anyone knows if there is a waiting period for a name change after we have just changed the kids last name, to be able to change a first name say with in 4 or so months of the last?
