    Default First Name Change Rules for a Newborn

    My question involves name change laws in the State of: Tennessee

    My husband (and the baby's father) want to change the first name of our 3 week old daughter. We were really rushed at the hospital and hadn't completely decided on a name yet. I've been to the TN state website and was unable to locate the necessary form to complete this. Can anyone advise of the necessary steps or provide a link to the proper form?

    Thank you,

    Additional information - the child was born in TN, the birth certificate information has been sent in by the hospital, but the certified copy has not yet been requested. A SSN has been requested. We live in VA.

    Default Re: Name Change (First Name) for Newborn

    You would request the change of name through the courts in the county in which the child resides.

    Since both parents are in agreement, the procedure will be straightforward. Contact the county Clerk of Courts for the relevant forms - the paperwork is very simple - and the fee schedule.
