Legal name change

[bobbisue]

I am looking at changing my legal name I am thinking about Roberta Susan _________  Any suggestions I only want to do this once and plan on doing it with my legal gender change

Names are very personal, and what sounds great to me might sound terrible to someone else.  Names can also carry great meaning or history or familial ties.  But I see nothing wrong with your choice, hon.  It seems fine, and if you're happy with it, go for it.

I hope you keep Sue. The poet in me likes the sound of "Roberta Sue" - it has nice rhythm

[Jani]

I have to agree with Carolyn's assessment.  When you say or hear the name, if it sounds like you then go for it!

Roberta Susan,

   A name is certainly personal but oddly at the same time we don't have a choice with our first name.  We are given that name and learn to live with it.  Whatever you choose will become you over time.  At first your head may not turn when your name is mentioned but you will in time.  Enjoy your choice.  Have others say it and maybe even try it out here for a bit.

I did that with my name before making the legal change.

 

Hugs,

I haven't legally changed mine yet, but I did what Charlize is suggesting. It just sounded right to me when it came to me, and I have been using it...getting it to where it doesn't squeek going around a corner..lol.

My name was legally changed not long ago and I'm beyond happy with mine. I would also suggest writing names down and see how they feel. My name was something I've known about for a very long time and although I wasn't entirely sure about it, it made me happy and with time just stuck with me. It's now me.

I think you have to have a intuition about it. It is super personal and other people might not think much of it like some others have said, but it's something you need to be comfortable with I think.  By taking your time and thinking about it, I'm sure you'll make the right choice for yourself!

 

Hugs,
